On the list

... for one of these -- the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Sleeping Pad. Right now I'm sleeping on a 3/4 size pad that's only 1" thick when I go backpacking, and I'm an elderly penguin and that's hard on my back. This one will pack down to the same size as the 1" pad and weigh 1oz less, while being almost full length (my pillow will go under my head) and 2.5 inches thick.

They're supposed to arrive at REI on April 1. I'm at the head of the list. Oh yeah, how much I'm paying for it -- $19. Yep, you read that right. $19. That's because of the REI "bonus" program where if you use their credit card, you get credit towards REI goodies...

    Sounds like a good deal,pal.

    Sounds like it'll be real comfortable, too.

Ground rules: Comments that consist solely of insults, fact-free talking points, are off-topic, or simply spam the same argument over and over will be deleted. The penguin is the only one allowed to be an ass here. All viewpoints, however, are welcomed, even if I disagree vehemently with you.

WARNING: You are entitled to create your own arguments, but you are NOT entitled to create your own facts. If you spew scientific denialism, or insist that the sky is purple, or otherwise insist that your made-up universe of pink unicorns and cotton candy trees is "real", well -- expect the banhammer.
