What did you get for Christmas.

[coolness]

I received a base layer top and bottom (Sam's Club), collapsible stool (might be OK for a section hike), outdoor wool blend Cabin socks, zipper pulls (very handy), Dunkin Donuts coffee (for the trail), 2 mini rolls of duct tape. Waiting for tax time to buy a new tent and sleeping bag. I've decided on the 2 man Mountainsmith Morrison. Maybe the Kelty Coromell 25 degree down bag.

I got a completely worthless hydration pack from my father in law. I am 6' 2" 240lbs. I put it on and it looked like I was wearing a deck of cards on my back. He also must have pulled it out of his closet because High Sierra hasn't made this one in about 5 years, so no sending it back anywhere. I gave it to the eight year old, she said "What am I going to do with this? It's heavy and worthless". She then proceded to cut all the buckles and straps off so she could use them to sew a new strap on her pack to hold her Leki's. My wife did get me a nice hand-made scarf......

I got a JRB Winters Nest quilt from my children. Very pleased with this gift even though weather/rain has prevented me from setting it up yet with my HH.

I got a Lightheart SoLong6 cuben tent from my girlfriend, I love it! and I ordered a zpacks quilt for a gift to me, Huge weight savings in sleeping gear for me!

[Thirsty DPD]

Santa brought me a vacuum sealer. Angus got a monogramed pack, that he had to test drive today; what a 'yup pup'. He hopes no one got a Red Rider BB Gun!

This makes me feel egotistically self-aggrandizing... but I'm stoked! I "stuffed my own stocking" with an EnLIGHTened Equipment Revelation X quilt-- 30 degrees and 30% overstuffed. I test-napped out in the garage this afternoon-- it was only 23 degrees in the garage, but I slept comfy warm for about half an hour-- dressed in a T-shirt, jeans, cotton socks and a beanie, lying on my old Therm-a-Rest on the garage floor! #totalgeekitude

[The Ace]

MontBell Ex Light 900 fill power down jacket 5.7 ounces dark navy. Hal-lelujah! Hallelujah, Hallelujah! Ha-lle-lu-jah!

[Feral Bill]

Got a couple of AT books. Avalanche and Gorilla Jim is good so far.

[SCRUB HIKER]

steri pen that im sending back. i got giardia in Vermont this year so my wife thought i needed one...ill keep taking my chances on untreated water. took 15 years to get it the first time if it takes another 15 years to get it again ill save the 4oz

I like it ... stick to your guns.

As for me, I got a GoLite Bitterroot down hooded jacket. Tried it on and it's approximately the comfiest piece of outerwear I've ever worn. A pair of Icebreaker hiking socks too.

[mtnkngxt]

Tent Cot, which will end up collecting dust in my attic. Turned around and bought myself a 0 degree Enlightened Equipment quilt, Zpacks down hood and ground sheet, Neoair Xtherm, and still have 700 bucks to play with.

[Dr. Professor]

Asked for spot head lamp; got storm. I wanted the spot cause it is slightly lighter, but I like the added water protection of the storm. Both are sweet.

I asked for SmartWool light baselayer. Got that AND HeatTech baselayer from Uniquo; I don't know much at all about the later, so I have homework to do.

Asked for and recieved PacerPoles which I'm extremely excited to try out. I'm a huge fan of poles, but these are a very different concept, so they'll be interesting to try. They're more durable than most poles which is good for me.

[Grampsb]

Waiting for notice from Six Moon Designs that I can order my Skyscape X

[RedRunnerJumper]

Got a nice little Cordilera 800 fill down jacket!

Also got a 2013 ATC Appalachian Trail calendar so I can sit at my desk and fantasize about being on the trail while I'm at work!

My dear wife got me a stuffed black bear, about 4' long. It is a pleasant reminder of the bear that charged me last summer on the Skyline Drive part of the A.T.
