    Default What did you get for Christmas?

    Adventurers! I hope all of you had an awesome Christmas! So I was wondering, what gear did you get for Christmas? Let's talk about it!
    I got:
    -Granite Gear Crown VC 60
    -SMD Deschutes Plus
    -Therm a rest All Season
    -Enlightened Equipment 0 degree down quilt that'll be coming in a few weeks
    -a combo set of different Swiss Army Knives
    These were the main pieces of gear I got, so what did you get for Christmas this year? What did Santa bring you?

    I got a Fitbit Charge HR. Since among its other functions it constantly records one's heartbeat, I can quickly check to see if I'm still alive.

    My wife and I splurged this year and finally got ourselves a pair of good road bikes for xmas (Scott Solaces) at a fantastic price (great bike deals in winter!). We like our variety in outdoor activities. Good for cross training as well. Plus we have every piece of hiking/backpacking gear anyone could want. We're total gear ho's.

    I got this as well but a few weeks ago. Pretty cool device. I've learned that my sleep quality is horrendous. Obviously this isn't a watch for thru hiking given how often it requires recharging. It tracks mileage accurately if you calibrate it.

    Money, money, and mo money. I as well will hit the Rei garage sale and amazon. If I don't spend the money on what I need it will probably turn to dust and disappear.

    Nice gifts! I got a Magnesium Firestarter and a ultra-sil day pack for when I want to let go of the heavier pack for a bit. I got myself a 20L dry bag and a new set of carabiners.
