I've been considering a couple of gear purchases lately.
It would be nice to have a real winter sleeping bag rated somewhere about -20. Also, we thought it would be good to have a new 3person, freestanding tent. Both for the times when we're able to escape to the woods during the winter time. So naturally I've been looking at these items on-line. I've been looking at down, sleeping bags that are generally considered of good to excellent quality and tents that can accommodate me, Kathy, and our dog but are at the lighter end of the spectrum.
The prices astound me!
I always considered this "hobby" to be simple and cheap, and that's one of the reasons I liked it.
I'm starting to feeling like an old guy who's out of touch with life in the 21st century. I mean, you used to be able to buy a used car cheaper than some of these items.
Sorry, I just need to vent gif.011
