    I took the plunge and went all in!

    As a late Christmas/welcome home from overseas present, I took the opportunity to treat myself after being gone for 14 months. It hurt the savings account, but I ordered:

    WBBB 1.1 DL in olive brown
    20 degree Incubator - ordered 12/2 and it shipped yesterday
    20 degree Burrow - same as above
    ULA Circuit - shipped the same day and got free mini Sawyer filter
    WBMJ tarp doors (I already have the tarp)
    Dutch flyz and clips - shipped the same day
    Ursack Minor
    Tarp skins from MountainGoat

    This will take my base weight from 30+ lbs to about 15 - not counting food and water (don't ask what I had before, I'm embarrassed to tell you). Money well spent!

    Now I have to wait until I get home in a couple of weeks to enjoy all of the goodies!
