Hi,
I'm in the UK.
I received my WBBB yesterday which was around 20 days after order.
UK customs held mine for 6 days.
I would just relax, it will get there .
Wish I had ordered the UQ at the same time now.
Today is the 18th day since ordering my Hammock, superfly and UQ.
The online tracking does not indicate it's left the states. My only hope is that somehow they forgot to track this package. Maybe it's sitting at Customs here, Wish I knew.
It's kind of scary spending over 500.00 and not have anything to show for it and having no idea where they are.

In anticipation of my BB hammock, camo Superfly and 3- season Yeti turning up in the post any day now, I need to start contemplating what am I going to use for my footbox area, seeing that the 3-season Yeti is not a full length under quilt.
Been looking around town, but all I can find is the normal width foam padding in the local outdoors store, from what I have read here on the forums so far, the standard width pads are not wide enough. I don't know what to do about this one.
Shug recomended one of these to me for the foot insulation to go with a partial uq. I haven't used mine yet, but I doubt ol' Shugster would stear you wrong. Plus, they can double as a camp seat and/or pack frame.

I hope you aren't still waiting for your shipment.
"The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can.
Pursuing it with eager feet
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say."

I've been enjoying my Warbonnet gear for the past couple of weeks. Just arrived back home only hours ago from a one week hike. Had the best nights sleep everynight. I love my Warbonnet Hammock, Superfly and UQ.
Wish I could say the same for my feet. Can't find shoes that fit me. I have blisters on my heels and my big toe on both my feet are blue and very painful, one of the toe nails is lifting off.
Hi, I walked part of the Sunshine Coast Great Walk and attempted the full Conondale Range Great Walk, Had to pull out half way from the Conondale Hike because of my feet. The 12km hike out back to the car, was torturous.
I started out wearing a pair of Zamberlan Zenith, I also packed in a spare pair of hiking boots I picked up locally for only 40.00 as a backup, instead of my trusty Crocs. Both shoes failed miserably. I was only able to wear the zamberlan's for only 3km, blisters where starting on my heels, had to change over to the cheaper hiking shoes, which had been working out pretty well for a few weeks on my local hikes, but the terrain I hiked was very steep. walking down hill with the shoes is what did the damage to my toes.
I've also own a pair of zamberlan Baffins which cause major blisters on my heels, as soon I start walking up hill.
Distance I ended up covering was apx 50km. was planning on 70km. but because of my feet had to shorten the trip.

Glad to hear the gear is working for you. On the boots side of things, I found even in the try on process in the stores; that the old saying " you get what you pay for " rings true. Like you I did loads of reading before purchasing and I found that whilst I'm sure I only learnt a small amount in the field of boots. But with that small knowledge I found I knew allot more than some of the staff selling the gear.
