    If Schiit clears this for Canada and another participant is needed, I'd be in. The chances of me ever buying one are small, but not zero. If there are enough serious participants in Canada you can leave me off the list.

    I'd be interested, but what do I need to do/prove to be eligible for loaner? Thank you!

    First you will need to become a contributor. there are links on the bottom right of the page to do this. But it's not customary to become a contributor just to participators in a loaner. The idea is that voluntarily being a contributor to the site shows committment to SBAF and a certain character. But we also must know you.

    I don't know you unfortunately so a prominent member or mod will have to vouch for you for me to feel comfortable adding you to loaner for such an expensive item. If you know someone on this forum who I know then send them a message to post here and vouch for you.

    sorry, but it is my responsibility to be careful.

    wow... just counted and 26 peeps in the US... that means more than 6 months before finishing a US tour... wow. Will this be the longest tour ever?

    Me and @ChaChaRealSmooth are playing chicken to see who finally breaks down and organizes the list.

    Here you go - I stripped out randos, honored AtomicBob and E_Schaaf's desire to be last, and used the order that makes the most sense. (someone else can do Canada and UK)

    If @schiit wants to just sell me one with a decent discount, I’ll be happy to put it on tour in Canada :D

    Been giving some thought to this over the past week. Outside of whether vendors allow their loaners to come to Canada, the difficulty for us here has always been having to pay taxes and duties on equipment crossing the border. I ended up doing that for the Soekris 1421 tour a few years ago, and was fine with that because it was worth it to me. A Yggdrasil is substantially more expensive though, so that makes it impractical unless that burden can be shared.

    That said, Canada customs does have a mechanism for temporary imports. From what I can tell, we would have to obtain a business number with CBSA, and possibly post a security deposit. Might be a bit of work to set up initially, but could be worth it if it could make future loaner tours to Canada easier and/or more affordable. I'll take this discussion over to the Friends in Canada thread for further comments and discussion.

    I would like to join if possible. (perhaps just after Phantaminum since we live near to each other?)

    Yes, totally understandable and I agree on all the line. Even though I am an engineer (this may say something or actually may not :D), I know I'm totally reliable and so on, I don't want to push this. Let things flow in the way they should happen, maybe I'll meet some of you at some UK canjam, become contributor and so on... and then I'll sign up for loaner in case ;)

    I honesty trust you and would love to put you on the list. But I'm overly trusting and can't trust myself :) I have to setup some rules here and follow them, especially for something this expensive. But please don't take it persoanlly. I feel confident it would be safe with you, but if I don't follow the rules I setup we will start loosing loaner gear which is incredibly expensive and will decimate our war chest.

    Become a contributor and start posting on the forums with you engineering knowledge! Sounds ike you would have good ideas to share.

    Just to confirm you're in TX right? thanks

    The tour list has been finalized in a nice fluid order that should lubricate us all.

    I was giong to add you to the list because you're a contributor, but unless someone I know can vouch for you here, with only 11 posts on the forum I don't feel comfortable. I need to see a bare minimum of contributor status as well as a interest and participation in this forum. If you know a prominent member, pm them and have them contact me or post here.

    Sorry. :(
