+BigWhiteTruck Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I asked for a compass, i got a compass and a half! My little brother got a GPS from my parents and a year of premium membership to geocaching.com from my wife and I. He took my father and brother in law caching that afternoon. Anyone else have a merry caching Christmas? Quote Link to comment
+Maddawg351 Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 It may not seem like much but i got a GPSr holder. Great for micros cause it holds all the basics; GPSr, pen, compass, extra batteries, flashlight, and micro swag. The best part is that it clips to my belt so I dont lose it. Quote Link to comment

Team Reno Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 This is so cool what I got for Christmas and what had happen.2 weeks ago I was shopping in Walmart.I found this great day pack.Wow it was perfect for caching for the kids and I.Checking out at the register I had decided to put the day pack back.Kids Christmas had to come first.So I could live without pack.In the days too come I looked at packs,but nothing like the one at Walamart.Christmas Day arrived I was opening gifts,from hubbyand kids.WOW it was my back pack...I never told anyone about that back pack.I got it,I got it.I'm sitting here today waiting for the wind to calm and my back pack is ready to cache.What a great Christmas!!! The more you give,the more you get...Team Reno Quote Link to comment

+El Diablo Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I got these things (I don't know what they are called.) that go on your shoes to help walk in snow and ice. Now if we would only get some snow I could try them out along with my new 4wd TrailBlazer. El Diablo Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Camelbak Hawg. Which was exactly what I asked for. Now that I have most of the necessary equipment, it's time to focus on more hiking clothing. Quote Link to comment
+Nazgul Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I got a Petzl Myo-3 headlamp, and a UV Photon light for those pesky puzzles. The Sidekick 2 that I bought as an early christmas gift to myself was probably the best geo-gift I got though, I've been using it a lot. I also got 5 finds (including an FTF) today as late Christmas gifts. Quote Link to comment

I got lots of other stuff, but a metal can he paid maybe $3 for just off post is second-to-the-top on my list! Having him back and safe is first. Quote Link to comment
+Cache us Clay Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Mr. Clay bought all kinds of GC.com goodies and hid them in a cache container under the tree. I didn't get to log a smiley face, but they are nice doo-dads. Quote Link to comment

+Wander Lost Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Well it wasn't under the tree on Xmas morning, but my hubby is getting me a new Garmin GPSMAP 60C with dash mount & the beanbag mount! We also bought each other some really cool backpacks, clearance sale a few weeks back. They have lots of little pockets for putting caching stuff in and they came with hydration bladders.

+Ltljon Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I got a Hydration Pack & some warm britches. My wife got a "no batteries" wind-up flashlight that will probably go missing in a few days since she's not big on caching. Quote Link to comment

+Hydnckr Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I knew what I was getting beforehand because I purchased it myself the day after Thanksgiving (saved 50 bucks). But the anticipation of actually having it in my grubby little hands was unbearable. I got a Palm Zire 31 PDA for Christmas -my first PDA- I'm all excited about paperless caching and using cachemate !! Hope everyone had a great Christmas, it sure sounds like it in this thread. Happy Caching Quote Link to comment
+Night Stalker Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 I have been pretty busy lately buying my own caching stuff so I was a little hard to buy for, but my brother-in-law got me an Idaho Geocachers tee shirt and my wife got me a new computer to make sure I could log those no finds that I have been very good at lately. Quote Link to comment
+TeamK-9 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 (edited) I got a new L.L. Bean Daypack: I had actually asked my parents for that specific pack, and now that I have it. I realize it's absolutely massive. I mean, it's a daypack, but it's BIG, and I know it will feel useless until I can fill it up quite a bit. I think I would have been happier with something a bit smaller, like a Camelback HAWG, but those are a bit more expensive than my pack and they have a lot less space. I also got a couple hundred dollars from my grandfather, most of which I put in the bank. But I kept $150 which I will be spending on "completing" my hiking gear. It's not like I really need anything, but there's some stuff that could "enrich" my hiking experience. Among those things are a new insulated bladder for my camelback, a new headlamp, and maybe some new socks. I'm actually pretty lucky, because my birthday is the middle of January. So it's close enough to christmas that I get some good presents, and then, right around the time, I'm starting to get bored, or need batteries or something, then it's my birthday all of a sudden. It's also just far enough from christmas that I can still get some pretty awesome presents. Edited December 28, 2004 by TeamK-9 Quote Link to comment
+Kit Fox Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 (edited) My girlfriend goes with me on 90% of my cache hunts. I had been talking about night caching recently, so she gave me a 1,000,000 candle power rechargable spotlight! I got a rechargeable spotlight also, and I didn't even ask for it. I do most of my caching before dawn, with a mini maglight, so the spotlight will come in handy. I also got to spend time with my family, and be thankful for my savior being born.

+nctreker Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Got a pair of night vision googles from the Missus this year. Not sure how they will work on those after dark caches, but thus far I've had a blast spotting animal eyes in the woods while hiking. Amazing how many critters are watching you walk through the woods at night. Quote Link to comment
