What Are You Hoping Santa Brings You This Christmas?

Snow in the mountains.

–B.G.–

I KNOW Santa is bringing me an Eddie Bauer down vest (W/ Down Tek DWR treated down) because I ordered it on my wife's Am Ex card. :o)

She indulges me occasionally.

bring me some knee cartilage that isn't torn. A damaged knee with the summer tramping season nearly here is frustrating the hell out of me.

More trips with my BPL buddies.

A little piece of mind, continued kidney and heart function, and possibly an early spring. The rest is all just icing on the cake man.

Oh and as far as gear, the wife and I got our MB frost line parkas.

C'mon OP. You should join the rest of us and stop thinking/talking about gear and focus on the things that really matter which is getting outside. Gear talk cheapens the experience. In fact, I'm selling all of my gear and plan on using rare and endangered plants and animals as my shelter/sleep system this year.

Just kidding, I'm asking Santa for a What Would John Muir Do? bracelet and RX100.

I'm hoping Santa brings us good neighbors and sales on home decor. We're getting a house for Thanksgiving. In a roundabout manner we are also getting a gear room…

World peace, end global poverty and starvation..

…said no guy ever!!

Just give me a sack of cash to pay off my mortgage and clear my debt!!

I'm hoping the boss gives me the green light for some hiking trips to Big Bend in early 2015.

Oh and a 20 degree bag or quilt would be nice too.

Hoping to get some CP3 Trekking Poles.
Maybe MLD Rain mitts and snow Gaitors, but not sure I'll be that lucky.

Carpeting that repels dog poop bacteria, and therefore doesn't need to be continually cleaned.

Doorknobs and drywall that are dog proof so I don't have to keep replacing them.

Holy crap! Your dogs name doesn't happen to be Cerberus does it?

I'm hoping for an 8'x10' silnylon tarp. Santa brought me a new head lamp and REI down jacket at the REI sale this weekend…

More time off….

Rain. We desperately need some rain here on the central and southern CA coasts.

Besides that, all I need is some time off from work and home responsibilities to get out there for a few trips.

Gear stuff was already taken care of… I ordered myself an Unaweep pack!

An under quilt

Rain jacket and pants

More trips

Please

Thanks Santa

Snow in the mountains of south central Alaska.

My splitboard and I are awaiting your sweet cold embrace, winter…

I am good in the equipment department. We just bought a new house and move in this weekend. What I would like is a very motivated buyer for our old house once I get it ready for sale this spring.

A 20-year old's knees and lung capacity.That's all I need.

The hole in my UL gear is a light quilt. A Cuben hammock tarp would be nice…..

But while we have the lamp out and we're trying to rouse the genie, an adventure touring bike with a Rohloff hub and Gates belt drive would be yummy :) Just a hub is worth more than all my gear combined!

This one has a chain, but it's in the right path– Surly Troll a la Rohloff

Hoping Santa drops off my first 60 meter dynamic rope, runners, and a $6 aluminum ring.

+1 Bob and Nico. RAIN and SNOW!

Oh, and a cuben Grace Solo please, I've been good this year.

Snow on the Kenai Peninsula and the Sierra Nevada. Lots.
