Default Oregon Bedroll?

Anyone on here own an Oregon bedroll? I ordered one in January and I keep getting e-mails about delays in shipment because of manufacturing delays. They were originally supposed to ship in March and now can't tell me when it will ship. The damn thing was pretty expensive and I'm starting to wonder if it's worth the wait or should I just cancel it.

They are definitely not worth what they're asking. If it were me, three months wait is about 2 1/2 months too long; I'd cancel

I'd cancel and go to a camping store and get a Thermarest for under $100. Take a sleeping
bag and you are good to go!

You do know who manufactures them don't you. That's why I
have not ponied up for one. I don't know what he's paying the inmates
(and they should be paid) but I'm not giving anybody that much coin
for a bedroll ,that's apparently made in a legal sweatshop.

you can get mil-spec bags, several countries, from the Sportman's Guild on line.

One I saw was Danish, yum, for $120 had a bag, waterproof cover, liner and bugscreen.

Take a look, great ammo prices too
