- My wife wanted a generator--bought it early and my father-in-law helped get the transfer switch installed in November.
- Got my oldest boy started on his own survival kit--small EDC bag with a packable chain saw, bivvy sack, multi-tool, and firesteel.
- Also got him 200 yards of paracord and 50 buckles. He started really getting into making bracelets and is starting to get pretty dang good at it too.
- He gave me a paracord bracelet for Christmas <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
- Boys both got packs for their gear (as did I--for my night hunting gear).
- I got a couple of lights (including a nice 800 lumens from Nitecore).
- Put escape tools in all the adults stockings (my parents came down)--small device that fits on a key chain--has a belt cutter and a spring-loaded device to break out a window.
- Upgraded some of the family flashlights to LEDs.
- Gave my wife a Kershaw folder (don't think she'll actually carry it though)
