Ok, lets all be materialistic and tell everybody what they want. Remember, just gagets and gear, no knives. I guess I'll go first

.

-Infinity task light, probably going to order this next week.

-SwissTool, as soon as the new model with scissors is available.

-UKE 4A, whenever I have the $.

-Pocket PC using Windows CE, after I do some more research and hopefully convince my employer how much more efficiant I'd be with it.

That's all I can think of for now, I'm sure I'll edit my post later and ad more

!@#$%, sorry for the spelling, I couldn't edit the title line. I wint too publik skule to

I would suggest looking at the UKE 2L. Unless you want to stick with the AA rather than the lithium 123A's. They are the same in burn time and same lamps/intensity. But the 2L is 1/2 the weight and size.

The infinity is a great little light.

Let's see...

UKE 2L

Streamlight Stinger

Gerber Gator Tool or perhaps a Leatherman Pulse

New mid size backpack (between the size of my North Face Mohawk and Eureka internal frame pack [ I forget the model])

Some more old style UKE Q40's.

And a headlamp of some variety...

Another light I love but will probably never get is a Surefire 9N.

After this weekend, though, I have an engagement ring to buy, so this stuff will have to wait...

About those Marmot Lumbar Packs:
The website is cool, and Marmot makes top-notch products, but I prefer the Mountainsmith lumbar packs because they are "low and wide" rather than tallish. However, I haven't actually tried the Marmot offerings, so I'm not trying to bash them. I had a North Face Wallaby that was a sort of a dome shape that bounced alot when I walked, especially when I was loaded with gear (aren't we all?). TNF pack had the compression straps and everything, but still didn't function that well. The Mountainsmith packs are well made and have lots of accessories. My favorite is the "strapettes", which are thin backpack straps that attach to any of the lumbar packs. They really help distibute the weight of all the knives and flashlights in my pack. Check them out at www.mountainsmith.com.

Do you have an hour?

I tend to get more than one of something I like so here goes

2 JSP V2 belts
JSP WC Attache or McGill Concealment pack
Shomertech chest raider
More Tuff Cloth and Flitz
A Surefire
Tuff Grease
A Fisher Space Pen
2 Gustbuster umbrellas (gustbuster.com)
A jacket from a dirt bike racing company
A new pair of tactical gloves
A wireless keyboard
A pair of GSG-9 boots
A pair of Carhartt pants
Bandanas from Comtech and JSP
A large set of VHS and DVD movies
 
I love this kind of question!

Well as I've got a SureFire 12PM - Awesome, I want to get an E1, M2, M6 and their next rechargeable flashlight which maybe called M2000.

I really want a PlasmaBeam searchlight.
Like REALLY!!

I need a good quality GPS - The ones we use are Magellans and can give 10cm accuracy in Differential mode...I want a smaller package though - any ideas?

I want some nightvision goggles, and a great pair of rangefinding binoculars.

Some of you mention hifi, it's best not to get me started as I'd spend hundreds of thousands - Definitive Technology 3000 series speakers (or M&K 5000THX series) with Lexicon MC1 THX EX...etc...

I want a working APC out of Aliens...please.

On a more realistic note, I want a really good pair of walking boots - waterproof etc. I'm a US size 16 (English size 15) and I pretty much have to buy what fits!

SureFire 9N611 is on sale at $166 from Botach.com right now - That's almost making me order one, but I'm getting an M2 instead.

Some of these items are within reach - I'm gonna make it happen for my wishlist!

I don't ask for much....

A Panasonic Toughbook (www.toughbook.com or http://www.panasonic.com/computer/notebook/products/index.htm)

A good set of GEN III NVG's - PVS-7B's, PVS-14, or PVS-17 would be just dandy.

A nice long range rifle, like a Remington 700 PSS in left hand configuration.

A good motorcycle.

More photon's, etc.

Lots of cool stuff that I can waste time playing with.

Root,

Good question. For me it'll be:

Some form of LED flashlight
A custom knife at Blade Show 2001
A new acoustic guitar
