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
 
So far loads of new high quality merino socks, a new merino 200gsm base layer shirt, a dd 4x4 tarp and a leather wallet
 
Ray Mears new book and a Possum & merino hat.

Do presents to yourself count? I picked up a Fallkniven CC4 sharpening stone to use as my field hone.

forest_girl, whats' the weight on the bearded axe? Looks interesting
 
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.

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:
