Oregon Bed Rolls, Anyone bought one recently?

That's what I thought. I can get (actually, "I have") a military sleep system that packs smaller and includes 2 sleeping bags, a waterproox Gortex bag and a stuff sack for less.
I have this one, but you could easily get 4 or 5 of them on Ebay for the Cav Store's price:

I think they are worth the money. Very well made and should last a lifetime. I used mine for several weeks on everything from picnic tables to sharp, jagged rocks and am using it now in my semi on a steel bunk.
I slept on it in the Alaska and the northwest territories in some pretty cold and wet weather with nothing but the clothes I had on and the rain fly and stayed warm and dry.
As far as being able to get others for less..............You can buy two Yamaguchi's for what a Harley cost's.
Just sayin!

Cowboy stuff is cool, but the bed roll costs more than a sleep system (around $100 or less on Ebay) and does less. To me, it just looks like wasted space for guys who are camping.

Yeah, but the lower cost one I mentioned is rated to -10 degrees, you can ditch a layer to make it even smaller in summer, and the goretex cover is wind and waterproof, so you can zip up in it in the rain. And you don't even have to bring your own blanket or sleeping bag to put inside it.

Actually I think we've knda hijacked this thread. The original question was about shipping time.
My apology to Watch Guy.

Spend your money on real gear. Go to a backpacking store, get a thermarest pad and a good down sleeping bag. They will both take up less space that this, and keep you a lot warmer and more comfortable. My Marmot +15 degree bag packs down to about the size of two softballs side by side.
I pretty sure I can fit my thermarest pad, marmot bag and MSR 2 man tent in the space as the Oregon bedroll a about the sane weight. YMMV.

Hey IronAss, I became interested in the Oregon BedRoll reading your great account of the Hoka Hey. Which one do you have? Thanks.
After your response, we can get back to the original thread.

As a side note.....I am probably not the norm. I have had 3 back surgery's and have degenerative disc disease. I have never been able to sleep well on any mattress in any truck I've been in.
I sleep better on my bedroll than I do on the mattress that we have on our bed at home.
I absolutely love the damn thing. That's not to say it's any better than what others are recommending (I've haven't tried any of them) just sayin it's the best rest I've had in a long, long, time.
