    Finally made a decision (I hope!)

    I am starting to make my future purchases list, and after much studying, I think i have come to the conclusion that I will be getting an HG Incubator over the JRB Washington 3. It is just barely a little bit heavier, but I can get that plus the Burrow both overstuffed for just over the price of JRB's 3-season bundle. I feel like that combo will take me a little colder, for just a miniscule addition in weight. All I have seen are stellar reviews for both companies, so I feel like either choice puts me in good hands. I am also not the hugest fan of the bright green that JRB uses for the outter shell Wish me luck on saving up money! First comes a superfly!

    Oh and if there is anything I should know about either the HG or the JRB please feel free to share!

    I may be dumb, but at least I'm ugly!

    I've done so much, with so little, for so long, now I can do anything with nothing.

    It's not peer pressure, it's just your turn.

    Really hard to make a decision, isn't it. Good luck on saving. Ramen noodles for a month or two? I don't have an incubator, but I love my Burrow TQ.
    Keep movin', keep believing and enjoy the journey!

    HG makes excellent gear.

    Yes it does cost but good gear is worth it.

    Have not regretted anything I have bought from them.

    Many vendors out there making great gear that I would like to buy but as much as I would like to, I can't afford to buy everything I want until I win the lottery
    I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !

    Tell ya what, gunner, if I ever win the lottery, I will send you the insulation of your choice. Now all's I gotta do is start buying tickets! and Pat, I like that it looks like that new ARGON material is so light that I can get that as a way to offset getting an extra ounce overstuff! And this is long-term for me, unfortunately. Easily more than a couple months, especially since next month I will already be ordering a Superfly finally I have been in different threads talking about it for the last year or so, and it is finally coming to fruition!

    Cant go wrong with Hammock gear! (plus the proceeds go to an excellent cause--supporting Adam, Jenny and all their kids!)
    FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
    run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
    bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )


    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.

    I have the Superfly and the incubator "0", and am very happy with both.

    Still no word on my Superfly after the order confirmation is two weeks normal before shipping?

    Certainly this time of year it is not. A lot of places have but skeleton staff with the recent holiday.
    If it moves, you can eat it. No promises you will think it tastes good.
