After tearing a hip muscle,hyper-extending my knee and tearing my rotator cuff on a backpacking trip this past August, Santa brought me knowledgeable physical therapists and orthopedic surgeons and now hopefully a successful shoulder surgery and quick recovery in the new year…I have two backpacking trips planned for the Summer! :-)
Dec 26, 2012 at 7:23 pm #1938455Great picture Dave!
For Christmas I received a food dehydrator, 5 pairs of darn tough socks, and a couple gift cards for our local outdoor store.
As a late birthday gift showing up on Christmas Eve, I received my 40 degree revelation X quilt from enlightened equipment.
I'm feeling pretty spoiled right now

You MUST print that shot and put it up on a wall.Dec 26, 2012 at 7:31 pm #1938460Best present ever….my son, a US Marine, home for Christmas before deploying to Afghanistan!
And thanks to fellow BPL'er Stephen Barber, he had a wicked K-Bar under the tree to take with him. Thanks, again, Stephen!

+1.5 oz on weight compared to my existing fleece top with no hood, but should keep me warmer.

Dec 26, 2012 at 10:06 pm #1938492I got my choice of either:
1. 70" wide long length Revelation X
2. JRB MtRogers quilt with wingsAny advice? It's for me and my girl for 20F or better weather.
EDIT: After reading the thread about the RevX, I sent Tim a message to order one. Yay, new quilt!

Dec 27, 2012 at 12:04 am #1938505Santa brought me 750 ml. of Aberlour 18 year old single malt Scotch whiskey.
THAT will properly christen my new, impulse-bought, hip flask.
Ski season will now have a decided "glow" to it.

Caldera Cone Tri-Ti for a .9L shorty Evernew pot.
Now I just need a .9L shorty Evernew pot. :)
Does anyone know if a 12-10 stove will fit in that pot if the priming flange is cut off?

An extrememley heavy brass compass in a rosewood case.Yea, probably not packing that last item, but it was given with love and it's inspirational to look at here on my windowsill… at least while i still have a windowsill. ;)
Dec 27, 2012 at 7:28 pm #1938713Original Disposable Flask from Restoration Hardware at 0.4oz with 7.5 fluid oz capacity. A little Scotch at the GGG will be necessary if not mandatory.
MLD Duomid with (2) 16 inch pole jacks at 2oz each from BPWD. I am stoked and can't wait to use the GEAR in the field.

Dec 27, 2012 at 8:31 pm #1938721Our Christmas present last year. But we use our Big Agnes Flycreek UL2 for most outings. Ryan, we share your appreciation of all the stuff that lets us enjoy the outdoors… heavy and light. Its all good.
Dec 28, 2012 at 3:35 pm #1938886Another Capilene 4 hoody here, which performed nicely the past 2 1/2 days during some wintry yuck at Savage Gulf. My wife scored big on that one.
My dad came through with some Knob Creek, which warmed me up a bit at Hobbs Cabin.
