I got two more pieces of gear!

I got an really nice lightweight down parka, and an ultralight day pack.

The daypack is the one at WalMart where they have their stuff-sacks and whatnot. On my last trip I realized it would be perfect for the set up I'm working towards. I can use it for a stuff sack and on day hikes after I've set up camp, so I put that on my list.

The down parka was a complete surprise. Its an 80/20 down/feathers with 600 fill down from "Lands End". It's pretty warm, I went out tonight in it for a bit in 36º and I was fine in it. Two of my daughters got it for me together. I know my girls, and we had some tight restrictions on spending this year, so they must have gotten a great deal on it. I think it's pretty darn cool of them to think of it.

I sure hope you all got some fun stuff too!
