What did you get for Christmas.
Wife got me a BD Spot headlamp, MSR canister stove and 1 person cookset, and a water filter. Also some winter hiking clothing. Brother got me a subscription to Backpacker Magazine. Daughters got me an Xbox controller to play with them - grin. Trying to be ready to do the High Country Path in May!

I got hooked up! Santa was very good to me this year. Got a Marmot Precip rain jacket, magnesium fire starter, Appalachian Trials book, the ATC coffee-table picture book that weighs a TON but has about 400 pages of awesome pictures, 2 pairs of Darn Tough Merino wool hiker socks, 1 pair of Wigwam wool socks, 2 pairs of synthetic undies, the Sea-to-Summit treated bug net, carabiners, beef jerky in my stocking.
But better than the stuff I got, was something I gave. A friend of mine is thru-hiking very soon and I filled up a 5 gallon Homer Bucket from Home Depot with a ton of small bounce-box type of presents, each one individually wrapped. Stuff like chapstick, ibuprofen, AAA batteries, handy-wipes, etc... I had a lot of fun with that and I know it was appreciated, plus it took her half the day to unwrap everything. That was the best part of my Christmas!

I forgot to mention one of my favorite gifts, red Alabama duct tape. Gonna wrap my BD's with it, so much better than plain silver.
Lightheart Solong 6I am so glad I now have a use for my snobish hiking poles
It is lighter than my BA FC2 and has more space and much better views.
Down booties, sawyer squeeze, and new camera. Can't wait to try them out.
a new lease on life ... good friends and good people.
Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.
Woo
Best gift was 4 days off of work to spend with my wife and son, but I was also given an Orvis 4-piece fly rod setup and a tarp/fly for my hammock.
Bunch lucky bastards
All I got was a card with fifty bucks from ma n dad a can with three.different kinds of popcorn and a bottle of Knob Creek Bourbon from my boss
Apparently you are not married. The difference between your gifts and the gifts us married folks get is that you did not have to pay for your own giftOriginally Posted by Wannabe Thru-Hiker
Be grateful for what your parents gave you, they will not be around forever.
Have a safe and happy New Year.
