Glad I went to the website..............sleeping in my riding jeans don't sound comfy. I'm a drawers only guy when it gets time to sack out. Just not for me, I'll stick with my tent & bag

The Kickstarter video in combination with the info on their website left me with a question.  The Kickstarter promotion says the fund raising effort will include filling pending back orders.  So they've got orders they've (perhaps?) not had the cash on hand to supply?  However, while their production is domestic US it is prison labor in Oregon.  So their expenses shouldn't be too high.  That combination of facts seemed worrisome.

I noticed the risk factor here too when I first saw the video. I'm planning on paying with a credit card so I'm fairly confident that if the bedroll is never delivered the credit card company will take over from there. I've had something similar happen a few years ago. The cc company issued a refund, asked for a statement and I never had to deal with it again.

Don't blame me.....I didn't steer you toward this.  Might try Best Western for a bit more comfort.  :huepfenlol2:

Got two of them several years back. Very comfy even on a hard floor.
They have a minimum order with the prison but shipped one from stock, the other once they reached the minimum.
Well made and they kept me up to date as the orders came in.
