Speaker 3: I should have told the story on my live stream.
Speaker 3: I thought I had two two and a half weeks,
Speaker 3: so I started ordering.
Speaker 2: The born Outside is the System at More expo. I
Speaker 2: want one of those, I really do. I really want
Speaker 2: We're back. Yeah, I really want one of those.
Speaker 3: But I got another one. It starts with a C
Speaker 3: creative or something, cave something around there, and that, thankfully
Speaker 3: was I ordered it on like Thursday, and I said
Speaker 3: it'd be delivered Monday, but they kept pushing it back
Speaker 3: in ups and it's like it's like Thursday and Friday.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh whatever. I thought I had two weeks
Speaker 3: and then I looked at my calendar and I shot
Speaker 3: a brick literally because it was next week and I
Speaker 3: was like, oh my god, this has to come in.
Speaker 3: So I bought another. There we go. Yeah. The one
Speaker 3: I bought was an ari I No not by ari I,
Speaker 3: but it was a whole sleeping system. But the back
Speaker 3: the sleeping bag had a very thin layer because it
Speaker 3: was meant to be in a sleeping pad. I was like,
Speaker 3: I want a sleeping bag, you know, I can open
Speaker 3: up all the way and throw over me. Not half
Speaker 3: of it work, half of it not. And thankfully the
Speaker 3: one I ordered online did come in. But it came
Speaker 3: in and I laid in that and it's a normal
Speaker 3: sleeping bag unzips all the way how I like, And
Speaker 3: I'm gonna use that because if it's warmer, you know,
Speaker 3: you can unzip it and use it just as a blanket, right,
Speaker 3: And that's what I prefer, right yep. Yeah, with some
Speaker 3: sleeping bags, the nice sleeping bags. Don even the synthetic
Speaker 3: ones that are for lower degrees. When you storm, long term,
Speaker 3: storm loose, always storm, Yes.
