i think that i'm a gear slut (with a little of Liz Helm)

anyone who knows me

knows that i like clothing.

i do not consider myself 

to be on the fashion cutting edge

but i think that i have good style.

however,
my wife asked me

"if you had $300 to spend,

would you buy clothes or outdoor gear?"

my answer 

"outdoor gear."

then pam asked

"what would you buy?"

a new sleeping bag was my answer.

currently i own 3 sleeping bags

(among duplicates of many other things)

but, yes, i would buy another one.

to be honest

i dont even get enough use

out of the ones that i own.

i spend more time looking at gear

and wishing i had more gear 

than i do on using that gear.

am i the only one with this problem?

last week

i bought a pack.

a new gregory pack.

now i own 2 gregory packs:
the z45 (new one) & the z35-r

gregory makes a great pack.
they just fit
so comfortably.
i even convinced my brother-in-law
to recently by the z-55.
i think
that he likes it.

anyway,
i currently own 4 packs.
i would like one more.
maybe next year.

i plan to use
the z45
very soon
and will have a review
for you.
