    Default Did everyone get their gear for Christmas?

    Just curious if everyone got everything they wanted/needed to complete their gear list?

    Count your blessings. In a few more years you'll be needing a different kind of pad...

    Merry Xmas and early Happy New Year to all.

    For Xmas I got an REI Cruise UL 60 Backpack, an Equinox UL Bear Bag, an Etowah Oufitters UL Alcohol Stove II and a folding Titanium Spork.

    We've been playing with the Svea for the last hour or so. (I'm so full of tea I'm about to bust!) It's a gas. (Ha ha.) Can't wait for New Year's Eve to do some real camp cooking.

    I haven't enjoyed a camping toy this much for several years.

    David got some things to fill out his backpacking collection--compass, whistle, DriDucks, long-handled ti spoon, Gossamer Gear plastic sheets for the one- and two-person tents... Lots of toys.

    It's nice to have a direct line to Santa.
