For some reason my WM Antelope fits tighter than it did 20 years ago..........

I've been eyeballing a Ponderosa, my wallet cringes though.......

I picked up a never used Big Agnes Encampment and Big Agnes insulated pad cheap enough I figured I didn't have much to lose. Have only spent 3 nights in it, but so far I like it.

Ha! The bag I need to replace is also a 20 year old Antelope. I was scrawny until I got into my 30s, and for some reason my shoulders have continued to grow, so now I literally can't get the Antelope zipped up the last couple of inches.

Initial cost of a high end bag does give one pause, but I look at it this way - a $500 bag that lasts 20 years costs $25 a year; that's quite the value! Plus it's still in good shape, so my son is going to use it. He'll likely end up inheriting the bag I buy to replace it...
