I checked on your order, and I'm told your patch was sent out about 12 days ago! I hope it arrives in time!

Thanks, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed

I ordered a patch as well. Not sure how long it takes, but I'm excited. So is my backpack

It hasn't arrived, so I guess I will have to hit Greenland without it

Just finished sewing mine onto my pack. Only two more days until it can start seeing the sights with me.

You know, I once went to the office. Just after last year's Christmas Party. It looks like a regular house. I went up to the porch to knock. Then felt like a kook, because I wasn't invited. So I left. Had I gone in, maybe I would have gotten a fancy BnA Patch. Planning to buy one anyway.

D

They would have let you in. They hurriedly lock the door whenever I knock.

I received my patch very quickly, but when I got back home from Vancouver Friday night there was another one in my mailbox. I'll mail it back on Monday

very nice off BnA not to charge a zillion extra for international delivery

I second and third this!
Mine arrived today.

loved the hand-written 'thank you' scrawl. ( No! thank you, BnA!!)

I can't wait to hit the road and go 'patch spotting'!
We need to start a "I met _____ in ______ cos I saw their patch" thread!

How strange! I wonder if you got whalewatcher's patch?? Well, thanks for mailing it back, CG!!

Dont make the same mistake with your patch I made with mine. See I attached it to my main pack which remains back at the hostel/locker, etc all day while me and my day pack are out and about. So even if I met you today, you wouldnt know I was one of those cool, bna'ers you've been wanting to meet. Sure I could pull it off and reattach, but I'm lazy, not crazy.

I'd feel a little bit silly walking around Tadley or Basingstoke with a BNA patch attached to my daypack.

In my opinion, the backpack is a better place for it, because you're going to carry that when you go on serious trips and I guess most people spend a reasonable amount of time on buses, boats and trains and traipsing around Bangkok at 3 am, trying to find a room

So wait a second. People are paying you two bucks each to advertise your website? That's pretty sweet.

Genaro,

LOL - We still lose money on them after getting 'em done, mailing etc. The 2 bucks is a way for us to know that folks actually want them. If we gave them away for free, they might end up being like those damn AOL CD's....of no value.

Genaro has a point...as far as it goes. But this has been a marketing ploy for a million years (since the big "Velociraptor Rulez" craze in the Jurassic Period} But I would....and will pay for the message. I'll buy a couple of patches. Put them on my ten year old satchel and, if'n you got bumper stickers, I'll put one on the car. I'll only buy a t-shirt if Court is attached to one though.

I got mine!

Bonus tip: sew your patch to your pack with dental floss. Much stronger than thread, and minty fresh!

I'm still waiting!

I just ordererd mine and will most likely put it on my DayPack because I have a special one that I only use for travelling which has a Camera Bag at the bottom of it

I hope mine doesn't take as long as WhaleWatcher's has done!! LoL

After nearly a year of walking around with the patch stowed in a pocket, I finally got a needle and thread and someone who knows how to use them in the same room and my patch is square on the back of my laptop backpack! Loud and proud, baby!

how do i get a BNA patch? I would pay for it, i havent read the other threads does it come with items you purchase or something? I collect patches from every country i go to, (my pack is running out of space)

ALso a question for you patchers, I initially wanted to sew them on, but i didnt want to poke a hole in the material that protects the pack from getting wet, like the vinyl whatever it is, so where do peopel usually sew their patches on. Right now i have sewed mine on to the slips that you can't put like poles and other equipment through
