I got some new boots off Carol, Scarpa ZG10's, I hope they last as long as my old Lowas, and she got me Frozen Planet on DVD
Off my folks and in-laws I got a new camera, again to replace my old one which has been playing up for a couple of months.

Im hopefully gonna get a wee test at it tomorrow, just gonna go up the woods for an hour and put it up and make sure it's all good for the first trip so I'll let you know and take pics.
The loft is INCREDIBLE so I think it's going to be warm and cosy.
I spoke to mat and he reckoned about 30cm x 15cm when packed down which I translated into a medium exped dry bag as it comes without a stuffsac. It's funny with the parcel as its quite small and when you open it this monstrosity starts lofting out the bag like a monster
Nothing Crafty this year! Polar Watch (I run a bit!) Steve Jobs book and some retro F1 bits....oh and a Nerf Gun...that takes batteries
Seasons Greetings everyone!

I got a stanley compass in a nice leather pouch. its inscribed with the poem 'the road not taken' by robert frost. Also got a harmonica - thinking its a nice light handy campfire instrument now i gotta work out how to play it....
Not much outdoorsy, but what does fit into that category..... Wetfire tinder stove & spare blocks, bcb fishing kit and an everlasting match to top up my survival kit. Nice fleece and a pair of dpm boxers! Lol. With the cash I got I've ordered a dd frontline hammock, a hammock sleeve and some steritabs as am almost out now just need some decent (read snowy) winter weather to get out and camp in

Had a shot today for an hour and it's incredible, first time using the hammock as well and all in all I'm very impressed you can feel the heat coming through very well, can't wait to sleep in it!
For me, an unusual bottle of 15yr old Glenlivit (Un-chill filtered) from my two wee girls, a new Giotto tripod for my camera/scope, new foil windshield and a Reflector for my Uco Candle lantern from the Mrs, as well as the usual chocs, smellies, scarves etc from the wider family.... All in all another brilliant Xmas!
For me this year I got a UCO Micro lantern and a cocoon for it
Natural Navigator by Tristan Gooley, A nice 100 % wool blanket.

I must have been a good boy and told some good jokes this year*, I gained a UCO micro, a landy chair and a small brass compass on a key ring.
I'm in the process of making a leather protective case for the lantern and the chair will soon gain an insulation mod
* Or, at least, not _quite_ bad enough to warrant coal

What have you got in mind for the insulation? I picked up one of those low carp fishing chairs which I want to do the same to, I've got multimats and loads of wool blankets

The thermal radiator backing stuff ~ low bulk, with low weight as an added bonus
. A roll of the stuff will be more than enough to go up and under the chair and also make a set of pot cosies ~ and there should be enough left over to make a reflector for the underside of an army camp cot Similar threads
