A Western Mountaineering Antelope MF sleeping bag, a NeoAir Xtherm, a Zpacks Arc Haul Zip and a Zpacks Duplex...all gifts from myself.
hmmm.
My wife gave me much needed dress slacks, blue jeans and skivvies.
I gave myself a 4 day hike on the Pinhoti just before Christmas.
Bought myself some Zion stretch pants, goose foot down socks, MLD shell mitts and a new rain shell.
Not so much for hiking but decent camping / outdoor gear: Eno Doublenest hammock w/ suspension, lifestraw, flashlight, emergency matches. I also got a few gift cards. I think I will use those to finally get a pair of trekking poles.
Lightheart Gear Awning Solo in Camo with 2 doors, a new Booney hat and a T handle hex wrench set, which will be nice for working on my bicycle.

My daughters got me a family portrait. A shiny cyborg war armor paint on aluminum family portrait. Two parts awesome, one part disturbing!

That is one hell of a Christmas gift.
I got a trip to Jamaica (honeymoon really) and 4 days to hike a section of the AT with my dog and brother now that finals are over.
The Zpacks stuff was ordered back in October and arrived on Dec. 23rd, so I count them as Xmas gifts!
Four days of camping and trail running with friends.

REI gift card. I buy most of my gear from cottage companies and my needs are few, Probably pick up a pair of trail runners. Or a sea to summit insulated ultralight pad.

No one dares buy me gear because I am so particular, so I got a game...Backcountry: The Game of Wilderness Survival - Appalachian Trail Edition. Haven't played yet, but read over the instructions and it actually looks like it might be fun...especially with an adult beverage or two
AT: 2007-2019 (45 sections)
JMT: 2013
A friend bought me a compass that was just a bit heavier than the perfectly good one that I have, and a copy of the 2015 AWOL Guide. It was a nice thought, but neither are coming on the trail with me. She should have saved her money and just bought me one of those adult beverages or six.No one dares buy me gear because I am so particular, so I got a game...Backcountry: The Game of Wilderness Survival - Appalachian Trail Edition.
