Well I have had a few new toys this year but the top 3 would have to be....
1 - Bernie Garland B&T knife, thanks to John Fenna and luck. I didnt have the cash at the moot but loved the knife so left it but e-mailed John a few weeks later and luckily he still had it. The story goes it was Bernie's main user for a while and John managed to trade it off of him. Good to have a little bit of history behind it.
2 - Arktis DanCam Smock. Only had it for less than 2 weeks and I am dead impressed with it.
3 - Swedish Army Trangia

My new Karrimor boots, my old army ones gave up the ghost and these are light and comfortable
Dan-cam smock, one of the best jackets i have ever owned period.
Snugpak Response pak, oddly its one of those things that allows you to keep the essentials right there with you to stop you rummaging through your pack for them.

Hmmm...
The blade I made my Leuku with,
my Snowshoes
and new in but it could be my German Mountain Pack.
Having said that, I've had a good year so there were a few other things that were close contenders.
And I think SantyClaws has a couple of nice bits for me too.

Yes it's the Stonebridge folding jobbie. I got mine from Littlebiglane when he moved his on.
I just had to replace a broken mica panel and it's been great for me.

I've got to admit I do like that lantern, it throws out a lovely warm light
http://www.leevalley.com/en/garden/page.aspx?p=46786&cat=2,47447&ap=1 for about a tenner plus postage. The real ones go for ten times that or more!
My best 3 purchases for 2010 are:
1. Lowa Desert Elite Boots.
Comfy well built, fast drying, highly breatheable. Whats not to like.
2. Camelbak Motherlode Daysack.
A Daysack that has some thought put into it. A multitude of storage pockets and very hard wearing.
3. Swazi Narwhal Anorak.
Lightweight, Waterproof, cracking hood design, sensible outer fabric choice. It could only be better if it was a jacket not an over the head anorak. All I need now is more rain...

Jerven bag thermo XL ,
Twodogs , can you tell us a little more about that , I've just worked out the exchange rate and was surprised. Is it like a hight-tech duvet?? I assume you've given it a decent test , how'd it fair??
