Happy new year to you too G-Man.
 
Alright here is my haul guys! I opened it on christmas just now getting around to posting. It from Pat Burns of Arcadia Knives.

I got a drink bottle, an antler firesteel, an antler cinch strap with leather, an altoids pouch, an antler keyring, a zip up coozie, some jute, a camo bandana, some char cloth, a compass, a set of birdseye oak scales, a set of lacewood scales, and a very cool knife made from a file and hollow ground with a angle grinder! Most of these items are handmade by Pat. I really appreciate all this. Me and boy are splitting up the gear in our packs already. Merry Christmas and Thank you Arcadia Knives!
 
Have been practically livin' at work. Boss is away; guess who is taking HIS calls & on-call, too?!?

:mad: :rolleyes: :grumpy: :( :thumbdn:

I want to say I'm sorry I have had no time to post pix nor even list the contents of my two amazing gift boxes.

Yer not gunna believe it all. I daym sure can't!
 
My apologies for dragging up the rear, on posting my gifts. Wasn't because I didn't want to!

If I was Catholic, I woulda gone to confession. Just so I can tell somebody what I got.

No time off in DAYS.
Developed a new strategy, I did.
I found 4 dead AAA batteries, put two in my beeper & two in my bosses' beeper, and took the night off! First time in ages neither beeper is going nutz.

OK; here's what I got:
From Mudbug007,
I got a beautiful Christmas card,
A note thanking me for last years' gift (when his gift got missed)
and a gorgeous custom knife & sheath, made from 1084 by Mudbug 007 himself. <<< Fits my paws like he knew my size >>>
A SwissTech multitool,
ProKnot rope-tying cards,
a Suunto GITD wrist compass,
a clear waterproof box about 5" x 7" x 2" deep,
a survival pencil wrapped w/ electrical & duct tape,
a generous hank of 550 paracord,
a blue keyring-size RayOVac AAA flashlight,
a travel pack of alcohol wipes & Motrin IB,
a box of Coleman waterproof matches,
a tube of SuperGlue,
4 magic re-lighting birthday candles for firestarting,
a hank of snare wire,
and a deck of cards with Edible & Poisonous Plants,
....and a partridge in a pear tree!

Whoa! I was blown away!

Then, from JayDub13, I got:
an Olight i3 EOS AAA light,
a Stanley double-ended pocket screwdriver,
a large Maxpedition zippered utility pouch, in black,
a handwritten note from JayDub13,
and a bundle marked: "Open Me Last!"
Inside it was a new Zero Tolerance 0350 CBZDP....serial # 0160...in ZDP189 steel!

You coulda knocked me over with a freakinFeather, when I saw what these two incredibly generous gents had gifted me with!
Thank you again, and God Bless You both.....you'll never know how this brightened my Christmas!

I'll be back in this thang next year, even if I hafta sell plasma or a spare kidney.

That is about the funniest and most inventive thing I have heard for quite some time, Love it. :D
 
Will put fresh batteries in mine, before work tomorrow.

Taking the boss's beeper back, still dead.

This IS my innocent look.
 
You got some pretty darn cool gifts Gnarly!! Hopefully thing start looking up for you and you don't have to sell that plasma next year. I believe that everyone goes through some down times and you just have to keep plugging along and things will get better. :thumbup:
 
That's some seriously nice stuff they sent!

Looks like this year went pretty smoothly. Everyone got their gift, correct?
