What do those Christmas lists look like?

Ok - that time of year is here/approaching.

 

What reasonable items do you have on your lists that maybe the missus or kids might grab for you?

 

Can be fairly big or small and practical?

 

I got some new wool merino socks from Bass Pro when I picked up my new Duck books awhile ago. That'll definitely be a stocking stuffer my kids will grab for me.

 

Ive also asked for a couple of the MeatEater cookbooks by Steve Rinella.

Lol.  

 

I want a Sony SDR-AX53 handycam, a Pulsar XM30S thermal scope, and either an Italian Cold Steel 4 Max or a Bark River V44 bowie.  

 

Socks and books?  You need to put those kids to work and make them earn your gifts.  Shoot for the stars, my man.  Aim high.  

Btw, I would like to point out the key word in my post is "WANT".  I will probably end up with a tie or something.

I've sort of already early-Christmas-ed myself.   :)   And birthday-ed myself.  :)    I bought a Leica monovid monocular, 8x20mm so I had something smaller and lighter to carry than my Leupold gold ring 10x42 binoculars.   I bought a Canon Elph 190 camera to cut size and bulk relative to my Nikon CoolPix cameras.   Finally, I bought a Sage "Dart" 0 weight fly rod.    All of these will accompany me to the woods starting next spring.    

 

I would buy myself a couple guns but the shelves are bare of things I want.    I'd like to add a Ruger Super Blackhawk 10-1/2" barreled silhouette model, a .45 colt/.45 acp convertible Redhawk, and a Marlin Cowboy .45-70 or the stainless SBL model, but none have been on the shelves since summer.     I can get by without them but .. that doesn't mean I want to.

That Leica looks nice!

 

I picked up a Vortex Solo 20x36 a few months ago, but the area that we have been working in doesn't have much call for it so far.

Here are the socks I mentioned.

I knew they were Made in the USA but not up in this part of the country (Vermont).

 

Good stocking stuffer for folks that hit the woods a lot.

I have never worn those before. Jessi wears Smart Wool when we are out, while I usually wear Merrell socks or Under armour.

Darn Toughs are awesome. We also love Farm to Feet, made in Mt. Airy, NC and they source their wool from US farms.

Firstlite makes hunting/outdoor gear. They are having a nice sale right now (their stuff isn't cheap).

 

I personally have the neck gaiter in blaze orange and dry earth in addition to the beanie/merino wool hat. Would recommend both very highly.

 

Have a pair of gloves coming to replace the ones I wiped my ass with in the woods on Monday (no joke - long story).

 

Check them out!

No kidding. I don't know why I didn't even throw a paper napkin in my backpack with the sandwich.
