Wilderness gear from LL Bean, what would you buy?

[Shoki]

I rarely get the opportunity to buy myself gear of any kind and my Pops just gave me a $25 gift card to LL Bean. WOOT, I guess?

I want to buy something I can use for minimalist camping/bushcraft/emergency kit/etc. but LL Bean doesn't exactly cater to the dirty grubbers like us and seems to have a lot of over-priced yuppie gear. I just spent about a half-hour looking through the website and only the Gerber camp axe and Victorinox trekker have caught my eye. So my question is, if you had a $25 gift card and another $20 you were willing to spend on 'W&SS-type' gear, what would you choose from the website?

With $45, I would either buy their Insect Shield wool socks + an Insect Shield bandanna, or put the $45 toward an Insect Shield shirt or pants.

They have some pretty decent headlamps in the price range.

Since I'm into wool these days, I'd get one of these http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/65660?from=SR&feat=sr

Ah-ha! I just realized that I don't have a good compass or signaling mirror, two essentials! I read some reviews online and decided on this:

Thanks for the suggestions!

keep your eyes out for a windchallenger fleece to come on sale, Youtube's nutnfancy seems to love them.
