man..this is my curse.

i research things, buy something only to find it isnt perfect. i then move up the "food chain" in terms of quality, rating, COST, etc.

i did this with binoculars. i think i got 4 pairs of the things before i spent KIDNEY money on a great pair. same with backpacks.
i wont guarantee that i am done either department. lowryder933 let me look thru his Swavorski binos..and it did stab in a wedge of doubt. bastard!! pretty sure i am done with backpacks.

well, i am doing it again. friggen 20 degree sleeping bags. i wanted to stay away from down bags. i have bought 3 of them. i thought my last one was the stuff. took it up into the mountains and froze my butt off. had to sleep in a down jacket. the bag just didnt fit me. damnit!!

now i am buying another bag. Western Mountainneering 20 degree. the Alpenlite 20. i have one on hold at some store in portland. i will get to lay in it first. going with a 6.5' bag so i can stuff things at my feet to keep them warm..or put a hot water bottle in there. and it will be down filled. packs down tighter, warmer. my wife is so annoyed with me. haha. my last bag should sell easy.

why do i do this? insane. a sickness?
