Nodding in and out of consciousness, wondering if my incessant yawning is but a dream or just my body’s desire to do so, I diligently receive one amazing sleeping pad deal after another. So tired in fact, I barely notice that the SWEETWATER filters going mindlessly from my pile, back into the box are not sleeping pads at all…no, they are water filters…they sure are.
As I sort through more and more of this incredibly inexpensive Therm-a-rest product, my fatigue begins to show. I can’t seem to understand what anything even is, shadow people dart back and forth, and rudimentary object recognition seems to flicker.
Trekker Lounge!?? What the heck is that? Is it some wi-fi spot at a community college where pimply virgins go to talk to each other in Klingon? If so, that’s where I want to be… those were the good old days; ignorance is bliss. I don’t even think the Klingons have a word for ignorance, or bliss; to me they are synonymous.
Now for some reason I’m wishing I had taken the opportunity to learn Klingon so long ago… Sleeping pads, right. We sure got a lot of them…yes we did… sure did.
-Therm-A-Rest BASECAMP (Blems) – this is a monster of a sleeping pad - 77’’ x 25’’ and 2.5’’ thick!!! The people on the packaging all look so happy. I can’t help but to think that, with a new BASECAMP, I too might be that happy.
-Therm-A-Rest TRAIL LITE (Blems) – light and comfy, like a tub full of whipped cream
-Therm-A-Rest TRAIL PRO (Blems) – professional grade sleeping apparatus
-MSR SWEET WATER PURIFIER SYSTEM (off color) – the only thing different about these filters is that they are Army green instead of red. These units were actually produced expressly for our brave soldiers, but they didn’t want them, or just decided to stick to iodine, or something. Anyway, that’s why we have them.
-Therm-A-Rest Women’s PROLITE 3 Sleeping Pad (Closeouts) – Lisa got really amped about these
-Therm-A-Rest Women’s PROLITE 4 Sleeping Pad (closeouts) Lisa did not get nearly as amped about these
-Therm-A-Rest TREKKER LOUNGE 20 (closeouts)– As it turns out these have nothing to do with Star Trek; silly me. More of a portable lounge.
If anyone finds me sleeping under my desk in the morning, do be a dear, and wake me,
Zzzzzzzzzz,
Sam
