What gear did Santa put under your tree this year?

I got a Marmot Pounder sleeping bag and an REI giftcard!

Not sure about the pounder, may exchange it for down as I'm a cold sleeper, but all in all, a great Christmas.

Well, I was hoping for a lot more with the 40% off sale. Everything I "need" is out of stock. Anybody else having this problem?

Same issue on the PBL 40% off–about half the items I wanted were out of stock.

I got the SPOT…which I immediately returned for a set of Gossamer Gear Light Trek 4 poles (on order at this point). I also got the 2009 ULA Circuit.

With that said, anyone want to buy my 2008 ULA Circuit purchased in roughly Aug/Sep 2008 and used ONCE over a weekend. I can be VERY flexible on the price. It looks new and has nothing wrong with it. Size Large with XL belt…and I'd be happy to knock $20 off the agreed price if someone wants to get a smaller belt from ULA. This was new for $200ish just a couple months ago.

I asked for this and was told it would just lead to me buying more stuff! But nice to see other people are "out" to their families as ounce-obsessed.

Brand name on the box is Coleman. Site the manual references is "http://www.telebrands.com/FishPen.html".

My wife picked it up at the local Bed, Bath and Beyond store.

Using my nifty new digital scale it comes out at 5.8 oz for the pole and reel. It does warn that it is only intended for fish up to 2 lbs.

I'll be giving it a try at Isle Royale this year …

Small keychain thermometer and an eyeglasses strap. All other gear I wanted that anyone knew about was out of price ranges or I bought it myself.

I love my OR Sonic balaclava. I cut out the mesh and the gross grain ribbon that was on top of the mesh, though.

My GF got me the Jetboil I wanted, which came with the coffee press (which was far lighter than listed weight) and the stabilizer stand + pot stand. Total weight without pot stand (which I don't need) of the entire thing is less than a lb.

With the 40% off sale I got the few things in stock that I needed, 6 titanium stakes and the 5 mini squeeze bottles.
