This may be on another forum too but curious to know what other 2007 thru hikers-to-be got for Christmas for their upcoming hikes.
We just returned from NY visiting relatives and I racked up -
a new headlamp
a summer weight down sleeping bag
Smartwool long sleeve top
microfleece pjs (not sure if I will take them or not but they are very light weight and comfy)
a "mail" drop that was sitting outside the door of my parent's house - what fun. It had trail mix, jerky, among other things.
And today I got zip off pants at Gander Mountain for $3.50. (70% off lowest price. Again, they might not go on the trail as they have two zip off points for capris and shorts - but I couldn't resist that price!)
Hope Paul Bunyan writes in with his list. He got a ton of stuff...
