An attractive strip map would be nice.

My day pack full of $100.00 bills.
Mont Bell U.L. Super Stretch #1 down bag.
"Chainsaw" GA-ME 2011

A carbon felt windscreen and a bunch of condiment packets. Perhaps a body double so I can attend all of my dragon boat races and still have time to backpack.

Well...this year my plan is to buy a set of hiking poles and then have my wife reimburse me. It makes it easy on her and I get exactly what I want. I already have an ample supply of ugly ties and crappy underwear.
Cat in the Hat
So knowing how my family works, and the fact that my birthday and Christmas are only a month apart, I sent a mass email with a list of everything I wanted. Nothing too complex or expensive (excluding the GoPro camera which I didn't get or expect), but things that I knew my family would have no idea what exactly to get. I don't usually send out a list, I really don't ever ask for anything, but Nov 23 was my 30th, and darnit I felt entitled. Of the things I asked for I have currently received:
GoLite Adrenaline 1+ sleeping bag
Thermarest NeoAir xlite
Patagonia lightweight capilene bottoms
While that's not everytrhing that was on my list, there's still Christmas to go
Glad my family listens.
On another note, just gotta say, I haven't been on here in months and it's really nice to be back. Just reading some of the posts made me feel great. Oh how I've missed WB.
May your mileage always be higher than your post count.
Last Christmas, my son-in-law to be, who knows nothing of the hiking world, bought me a small stainless steel folding shovel. It came with a canvas carrying case that slides on your belt. Weighed about 6 ounces. He thought it was perfect for digging cat holes.
A Red Rider BB gun.
No I wont shoot my eye out.
This one? An official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200 shot range model air rifle!

Just because my teeth are showing, does NOT mean I'm smiling.

My birthday is Nov 24 so I also roll bday and Christmas together. I told my girlfriend I didn't really want anything but she insisted......
......she came home from Damascus ( near hometown) with a new ULA circuit. I'm also planning on buying a WM bag this winter if funds permit.
