Greetings and merry christmas to all!!

What with living in the north pole with all his reindeer and such, I am convinced Father Christmas is an avid bushcrafter!

I received Uncle Ray's new book (signed), a bearded axe that weighs nearly half that of my current axe and an old canvas and leather frame pack!







Was anybody else visited by the Bushcraft Santa? What did he bring?? :christmas2: :christmas1:

Something that takes up no room, weighs nothing and gives me something to look forwards to.

A Bushmoot ticket

A new telephoto lens for my DSLR (55-300) - My old one had manual focus only so looking forward to getting better long distance nature shots now with this one with autofocus.

Combo Birthday & Christmas pressie = a new Carhartt winter coat, good to -20C, like today.
Takes approx 15 winters to make a Carhartt coat look a little shabby. 3/4 length "barn coat."

Did anyone else take a minute to wonder what an 'antler' powerbank was?

Not due to Santa perhaps, I need to make myself a new knife (somthing I really look forward to) due to a trade that is in the making.

I also feel like get my knitting on...those Lovvikka Mitts wont knitt themseĺves...

So...Santa might have given me some energy. Me like.

Alone now.
Father Christmas brought me a very Mil-Surp set of prezzies. A Russian Veshmeshok pack, Russian canteen, BW aluminium butter dish and a Czech mess kit.

Sorry not my photos as there's a problem with my camera. When I view the SD card in the camera the images are there. But when I plug it into the computer the card is empty?:confused::confused:
