A new digital camera. That is sort of camping equipment because I always bring one camping.

Plenty of it on the giving side. Can't say here in case the kids have started tuning in.

This is my second year being a Den Leader in my kid's Scout Pack. I was very unprepared last year for camping trips, etc. I grew up in South Florida where it never got cold and "assumed" I could camp up here in Georgia the same way. Big mistake.

So, this year I've already splurged on a good sleeping bag, good pair of boots, thermal underwear and socks, etc. In essence, I've already bought my own Christmas gifts. ;-)

But, I've asked the family to pick up a few things for me and to try and make it a surprise. We'll see what they come up with. A new one man tent, for when I go off on Boy Scout Leader trips for training, is on the radar.

Looking at a lightweight sleeping bag, and possibly a Kindle, since they've got down to $78. Buying some things for my best friends- but not really camping gear, just outdoors-related.

I never put gear on my list. Actually, I tell people NOT to buy me gear. I could point to the one item I want, list it, even provide links... in the end, they always know better and order some bulky piece of junk off QVC that's not worth the packaging.
