(Sorry about the references to other brands, but they asked)

As far as "outdoor gear" during the Christmas season, all that I got was self-purchased. Of course, there was the package of three BWMs that arrived just before Christmas.

After Christmas, I went shopping; I'd been seeking a nice, rain-resistant jacket, and found a Roundtree & Yorke (Big & Tall) "Lawrence" Jacket at Dillards. I'm not sure if I'll give up the jeans jacket I bought last year for it, but it's a much classier light coat.

I don't know why I've been fixated on tents lately; I don't camp, and don't really want to, but I wanted a good tent. I bought a cheap tent on Amazon a while back; it's a Leberna Three-Person One Touch Set Up Dome Tent. The video review shows that it's super easy to setup and I got it for $40, but it packs big and is too heavy to be considered a "backpack tent".

I wanted a good, lightweight, 2-person, 3-season backpacking tent, but wasn't willing to pay more than $200 for it. I ended up finding a new Big Agnes Seedhouse 3 (not the SL) with footprint on eBay for about $125. It's bigger than I had in mind and a couple pounds heavier, at nearly 6 pounds, but still reasonably light. It's a good tent, and the price was absolutely fantastic (less than half retail); I unpacked it and it appears new and complete -- I'm very happy with it, but as I said, I don't know why I felt such a strong urge to get one.

finally found my camera charger after 3months..
it was in my pygmy falco ii that i take on all trips
here's the 870 i got (top)one

$50 from the wife as a combined b-day and Christmas gift, to be spent on a knife or a fountain pen (already spoken for with the Boss Streets), a gift certificate to lee valley hardware that was used to order some woodworking and chip carving tools, and the Bible on DVD.

The 'big gift' was hotel expenses paid for by my in-laws so we could spend some time with them and four other units of the wife's family in San Antonio over New Years. It was nice to seem my nine month old only son finally meet some of his relatives. One of his uncles is active army and has done two tours in Iraq and one in Germany. We last saw him at our wedding a number of years ago.

LOL, you guys suck and I'm jealous. I got jack. Well, I bought myself a Quark mini 123.

I got a Maxped wallet. I've never had a velcro wallet so it's taking a bit getting used to, but I like it.

I've got four kids, so most of our Christmas budget goes to them.

They had a blast! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
