    Too late to get in on this?

    Samson, like most other manufacturers that have several product lines, produce products in runs. One day they will make one size of Amsteel Blue, another day they will make something else, the next day something else. Since the vendor didnt have 40,000+ feet of line on hand, they have to wait for Samson to produce the line. And in order to get the line shipped to me for free, it all has to come in one order right from Samson.

    I was wondering if it is too late to get in on this buy? I'm new to this hammock camping thing, but not to whoopie slings.

    I'm afraid you are too late for this group buy, but maybe someone will have some extra they'd like to sell you once it is complete.

    I cant see Opie doing this again. No matter how great a guy he is. This has got to have become a logistical nightmare and just thinking about parceling out and packaging along with shipping has got to be something that has brought him some mental anguish or he is on Zantax

    That's why I overpaid him by a few $$$... hopefully others did too... at least this way when it's done, he can have a nice dinner on us...

    Ditto, I imagine a lot of us did.
    It was kinda like what I do at restaurants most of the time I round the tip up (or down, depending) from 20% so that the total bill comes out to a whole dollar amount.

    I'm still trying to think of things to do with all the line when I get it! I have a feeling I'm gonna be good on Amsteel for a while, after this!

    I believe most chipped in a bit extra. He did go shopping for a new BB not long after! Tip well spent if you ask me.

    Like everyone else I would love to have it here before my next hang, but I also know that's just not realistic.
