what you got for christmas

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I'd already bought a Paul Baker knife (Graduate in medium Oak) as a present from me to me, and then my wife surprised me with a spoon knife and draw knife (frosts).

:-)
 
Happy Xmas all! I got a pair of 8x21 compact binoculars, a nice "man bag" from my daughter (going to be very useful) and a multitool, not leatherman, but going to be put through it's paces! If its useful to me, I'll have a good excuse to get the real mcCoy :D
 
Best pressie was spending happy time with family and seeing kids enjoying theirs.

Ollie is delighted with his DD travel hammock so thanks to folk on here who recommended it, he spent most of the afternoon snuggled up in there reading his new books then made a brew in his new hobo stove (thanks Russ aka Warthog 1981) then slept out in it last night.

As for me I got a new Hans Karlsson adze. Didn't play with it yesterday but I am off to play with it this morning.

Only Bushcraft related thing I got were some panniers for my bike - I'm planning a cycle tour for the coming summer, full of wholesome Famous 5 corking fun, creamy rice pudding and lashings of ginger beer. Rather!

Bless that little fellow! Hope Mummy is felling a little better too. Wishing you all the very best.

I must not have been very bad this year. Not even ONE lump of coal! I'll have to work on that this next year.

But I did get a new pair of hand-knit red wool longjohns. But I think I messed up when I washed them. Mayhap I got the water a little too warm?

I could be wrong, but I don't think they are supposed to be this ... snug.

I hope the rest of the winter isn't TOO cold!

Congrats FGYT, those things are great when they are house trained but they will keep you up at night, and they're smelly, noisy, and will cost you an absolute fortune in the years to come. But boy are they fun and they will draw an odd "proud Dad" tear now and again, usually just before they have you pulling your hair out at them, and of course they will last a lifetime. Give the wife and little one a hug for the best present a man can get, in the words of a certain tv celeb "they're worth it".
Pressies, I got
silk sleeping bag liner, Granpas toasting fork. Spork, 600gb external HDD, and although I got it early a new digital SLR. A very happy bunny indeed!
