Too late. You're cooked.
I've always wanted one and don't know why I waited so long.
After the first day getting used to it, I completely lost the urge to
sit. I did about 5 or 6 hours in the woods a few weeks back and
didn't realize until I was done that I hadn't sat the entire time.
I certainly don't own the soapbox on this one, but everyone needs one.
