1/07/2012  Out of stock, sorry sold out at the end-of-year clearance sale. We’ll be building more and expect them in stock early February and selling at $199 complete.

The big difference between the Cascade and our Original Oregon Bedroll is the Cascade was designed as a value priced product. It doesn’t have the pillow bag feature, and the drizzle cover is sewn-on the bedroll on 2 sides, unlike the Original that features our Zip-on-Drizzle cover that can be completely removed. The Cascade Bedroll is 3″ shorter than the Original at 6′ 2″ tall.

A very good solid bedroll for 1/2 the cost of our Original when in-stock.

The Cascade Bedroll is a full 6 foot 2 inches tall by 25 inches wide, fits adults up to 5′ 10″ for heavy use, and taller adults for occasional nights sleep.

This bedroll is sold complete, with a 1″ self-inflating mattress and the oversized 3 layer waterproof breathable Drizzle Cover attached.

The XL versions of our popular BareKnuckle and DoubleDown bedrolls are exactly the same as our large size bedrolls, just 5″ wider and with 2 inflation/deflation valves. The same great Therm-a-Rest Basecamp self-inflating mattresses as all of our bedrolls use, just wider.  These will be our biggest,  most comfortable bedrolls we sell.

We’ve taken both bedrolls to the next level, in addition to the new thicker lie area fabric, the BareKnuckle and the DoubleDown now full zip side by side, the Drizzle Covers now zip together under a generous flap.

We need couples to give bedrolls reasonably vigorous field testing.

We’re not concerned about how much you love snuggling under the stars with your sweetie, we’re most interested in seams and stresspoints where the bedrolls connect and their resistance to abuse.

We need to quickly mature the product, in 2010 we don’t have the luxury of spending 2 years testing as Patrick did the first prototypes.

Our experience is there are no better, motivated, knowledgeable, communicative group of testers than people who lay down their hard cash to do it. An we appreciate each and every one.

This will be a limited offering, 30 or 40 pairs in the field should give us some very good feedback in a matter of months, more over time.

The price of the BareKnuckle XL on the website and our factory direct store in Lebanon Oregon at $279.  This pair of XL bedrolls will sell at discount for $539 on our website and in our store.

When purchasing these prototypes, you agree to answer written questions regarding your impressions of the product initially, and periodically later.

We’re able to ship these next business day in most cases, feel free to call with your questions.

Thanks for your consideration-  The Oregon Bedroll Team

We offer free shipping of all of our bedrolls and accessories to APO/FPO address.

We also offer significant discounts on orders of 100 or more Armed Forces Original Oregon Bedrolls for your company, battalion, brigade or regiment, contact Patrick Juell for information and pricing.

For batches of 100 or more of the Armed Forces version of the Original Oregon Bedroll, allow a bit over 60 days for them to be manufactured at the prison in Pendleton Oregon.

We have a partner with a GSA registration to sell batches of bedrolls to the government, but we do not have a NSN number for individual products as of yet, but we’re working on it.

Our Armed Forces version of the Original Oregon Bedroll we offer currently is an Original Oregon Bedroll with the marine canvas substituted with SuperPolyDuck, a great waterproof material that’s tougher and more abuse resistant than the marine canvas we use on our ‘civilian’ Original Oregon Bedrolls. Other than that, and the new D-rings,  it’s the same product 100%.

Another feature added to the Armed Forces version of the Original Oregon Bedrolls are two more D-rings on webbing with a guitar strap button. This guitar strap button lets each soldier shop and purchase a unique guitar strap to use as a shoulder strap, which individualizes each bedroll to ease identification.

The guitar strap button was added just for the Armed Forced version, but we’ll be adding it to all Original Oregon Bedrolls in the future, it’s too cool of a feature to ignore.

We expect to have individual samples to sell at discount to APO/FPO or verifiable Armed Forces addresses early in December 2010, check back.

If you have questions about the few individual Armed Forces bedroll samples, or any of our civilian bedrolls and you are currently active in the military, contact Leah Swanson, Customer Services Manager at Oregon Bedroll. She’s the one to expedite your personal bedroll with free shipping.

If you’re interested in a big batch from 100 to 5000, the prison can handle the manufacturing with over 160 workstations and inmates waiting in line to join the program, talk with GM Patrick Juell via email or phone.

Designated Decoy is a group of motorcyclists with attention getting bikes, who agree to not drink or do drugs while on their motorcycle wearing the Designated Decoy license plate frame.

It is a voluntary group, with no enforcement other than the member’s words.

The name Designated Decoy is from an old bar hopping joke. A police officer is waiting outside a bar at closing time watching a dozen motorcycles in the parking lot. the bar closes and the bikers stream outside, followed by one last biker staggering out and falling. While the other bikes start up and ride off, the last rider is struggling to get on his bike and get it started. After about 10 minutes he get’s it started and pulls on the the street where the officer immediately pulls him over.

“Have you been drinking sir?” the officer asks.

“No, not a drop” the biker says clear as a bell. The cop snaps back “I saw you stagger out of the bar, obviously intoxicated.”

“Oh that” the biker replies “Tonight I’m the  designated decoy.”

So goes the old joke that inspired the name of our group: Designated Decoys

We will be offering a low cost lifetime membership and nice license plate frame at cost to members. To be clear it will not technically not-for-profit, but the price will be at cost, and no profit will be generated.

We only want members who are sincere, and absolutely agree to not drink or do drugs while bar hopping on the bike wearing the plate.

We are particularily interested in new members who currently do bar hop and drink, guys with multiple bikes who can designate a bar hopper bike, and do the sober thing bar hopping on that bike.

When asked why you’re not drinking: “I’m the designated decoy”.

Check back here in the coming weeks, we should have memberships available mid summer.

The Pack-Lite Bedroll is exactly the same as our BareKnuckle Bedroll, just based on the smaller sized Therm-a-rest self-inflating mattress.

The Pack-Lite Bedroll was designed for smaller folks and as an ideal ‘Plan B’ bedroll that doesn’t take much room but impresses with it’s comfort. It smaller and lighter than all of our other bedrolls, weighing in under 5 lbs it’s a good fit for many.

The Pack-Lite measures 21″ wide and 6′ tall, big enough for large guys for an occasional night, and a full time bedroll for trim people 5′ 9″ and shorter.

This bedroll features Therm-a-Rest’s Trail Lite self-inflating air mattress inside, and our waterproof breathable Drizzle Cover built right in.

Ships next day in tan or black. Guaranteed lowest sale price through 12-26-2010.

The BareKnuckle Bedroll by Oregon Bedroll is a no-frill straightforward bedroll with just what you need. A Therm-a-Rest self-inflating mattress and a sewn-on Ultrex waterproof breathable Drizzle Cover. No tent required. If you are rudely woken by morning drizzle, flip the generous flap over your head and hide.

The BareKnuckle Bedroll is a shell, if you are in Hawaii in the summer, it’s all you need. If you are in Alaska then put the best sleeping bag you can afford inside and roll the whole mess up together.

Available in tan or black urethane coated SuperPolyDuck. Bikers like black, but bedrolls have always been tan, you decide. Large size, the best size for big bikes are shown in the photos below.

New feature introduced in the BareKnuckle,  guitar strap buttons on each end.  A D ring on each end can also be used for conventional shoulder straps.  Guitar strap or shoulder strap not included.

The special material we use for the tan bedrolls, the Made-in-USA Sunforger Boatshrunk Cotton Duck is very expensive an is reflected in the higher cost of the tan bedrolls.

That’s right, leave all that camping gear at home, an Original Oregon Bedroll with a blanket or sleeping bag rolled up inside is all you need to get some sleep while on the road. Bedroll math dictates less IS more.

Self-inflating Original Oregon Bedrolls are designed and built like American products should be, to last a lifetime, using the best of Made-in-USA materials with no compromises.

A common question is what’s the difference between the tan and black? The tan is an old school material that’s been around for hundreds of years, it’s what we originally designed the bedroll with. It’s a great tough canvas type material, works great for lying in the dirt. The black is SuperPolyDuck, a modern Cordura type material, super tough, that might have a slight superiority for earth contact, not much, but worth mentioning. Both materials are perfect for bedrolls, it really comes down to your color preference.

A high quality Therm-a-Rest fits inside our Original Oregon Bedroll. Slide the mat in, zip it up, and your done. Your Therm-a-Rest should be broken in by leaving it over inflated overnight, then it’s just a matter of opening the valve, let it inflate for 20 minutes, add a breath or two to dial in the firmness and you’re ready for a good night’s rest.

From the best American and Effort Permacore thread and top-of-the-line custom zippers from Lenzip in Chicago to the beautiful Weaver Leather from Texas and the WeatherMate Marine Boatshrunk cotton duck the materials alone earn the designation finest bedroll in the planet.

If you are purchasing without the mattress, the self-inflating mat you will need is Therm-a-Rest’s large size (25″ x 77″) Basecamp model, widely available in large sporting goods stores and on-line for $79.95. We’ve produced a simple video to show you how easy it is to install yourself.

The Original Oregon Bedroll is manufactured by inmates of Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution in Pendleton Oregon in a very good work/skills program. The inmates who work on Oregon Bedrolls demonstrate the highest craftsmanship in every Original Oregon Bedroll. These guys care about the quality of the product, and it really shows.

The black Marine Canvas is an very high-quality SuperPolyDuck, a great high-tech modern material perfect for our finest bedroll.  Both Marine Canvases we use are Durable Weather Resistant coated beyond their natural ability to repel moisture.

The Original Oregon Bedroll is the bedroll grandkids will find in attics years from now, it’s quality is second to nothing. It may outlast the bikes it’s strapped on.

With this set-up, if it’s a warm summer night you don’t need anything else, perhaps just a sheet and you are ready to roll. However, if you are going to be sleeping on ice, put the best sleeping bag you can afford inside and roll the whole mess up together.
