Hasn't arrived yet, but there is a Bahco Folding Saw on it's way to me.
Would have been useful on my bike ride this morning for dealing with the fallen tree blocking the road.

I got one of the Czech army bedroll things - I'm loving it so far.
Herself also bought me some Czech army wool socks, some grippers for my boots for walking on snow and ice (I'm getting old, obviously), and she knitted me some 100% wool fingerless mittens (so I can wear gloves and still tie knots when camping, in her words), with a matching headband to keep my ears warm under my Tilley hat. Oh and merino baser layer leggings.
Some friends obviously did their shopping on edc gear, as I got a sewing kit, credit-card multi-tool, whistle with compass, thermometer and magnifier thingy, and a microfiber pack towel. that lot came in an ex-army leather case whose original function I can't determine, but which is great.
I will post pics in a bit.
I must have been a very good boy this year.
edit: I forgot. I got a fire piston too!!

I got a midge head net, a book - fly fishing for dummies. a new rod bag, accessory kit for my folding firebox stove and a Rogue bush shirt. I have also been told I can go on any bushcraft course I want and she will arrange it! Bonus!!!!
I got Ray Mears Essential Bushcraft, a wood carving book and a new compass.
The Ray Mears is a great read.
Merry Christmas to all!

That should point you in the right direction
, sounds like good stuff Sam. What compass you get?
Well I say new compass. It was a gift from my Granddad who was given it by his uncle! So it is pretty old!
I don't know what model it is or anything but it still works. I will try and get a picture up later, maybe somebody can ID it.

Nice to have a compass with some history, think of the adventures it's had and you'll have! Love older gear. Great book too - you been reading through?
Learn anything or just enjoy a very good read? (Have to go and re-read mine too)
Got a bottle of Pussers Rum, a Bear Grylls Polar half fleese and hopefully on its way a Mors pot to replace the old ones I have got rid of.
