Such is the delicacy ordsprog

Such is the delicacy of man alone, that no object is produced to his liking. He finds that in everything there is need for improvement.... The whole industry of human life is employed not in procuring the supply of our three humble necessities, food, clothes and lodging, but in procuring the conveniences of it according to the nicety and delicacy of our tastes.

We are procuring arctic tents from different locations.

Half of my fun is procuring (sculpture materials), getting (them) back here and seeing what fits together.
