Holiday WIlderness Wish List: What Outdoor Gear or Learning Materials?

Brian Jones · Dec 13, 1999

So, now that we're into the various holidays, what are the Wilderness wish lists of the forum's members? It can be gear (including a knife of course), books, or videos, or any other items related to survival...

--For me, a new internal frame pack would be "vonderful,"

--all of the knives made by Rob Simonich

--a gift certificate to Greg's Simply Survival School

--a gift certificate for all of Ron's videos

--a trip to the Amazon (Okay, it's not gear but I'll learn there!

)

Who else???

Best,

Brian.

ANEW/Simply Survival's e-commerce is now operational.

Authographed copies of my book can be purchased on line (you can also get metal matches and shirts).

Members of this forum can receive a 10% discount on all purchases...to get this simply add the intials BF after your name (we'll make the adjustment here)

Example: Name: Greg Davenport, BF

If you buy a book and want the autograph addressed to someone else...send an email and tell me who.

Merry Xmas

I'll put my wish list up later :>)

My "wish" list could get rather large and expensive!

Let's suffice it to say I'd 'want' lighter more compact versions of all my gear!

I've asked for some books already and hope to get Greg's in my stocking!!!

I would really like to be given a set of Ron's videos! After hearing all the good things about them here and at his forums!

After that I forgot the most important thing! A set of gear for my son...He's a few years from being able to use any of it, but better too soon than too late!

Dear Santa....

Gaitors. Mine disappeared in the three moves I made this summer, and my XC ski boots are substantially lower than the amount I sink into fresh powder...

A Filson Double Mackinaw. I think I could trade my car in and just about get enough for one of these guys...

Another bottle of Laphroaig. So it isn't wilderness gear. Mine's still almost empty...

A nice headlamp. For those midnight XC ski trips not lit by the Solstice Full Moon.

A few more metal matches. I liked the idea of a survival instructor I met, who had three stored about himself, plus the one he pulled out of his pack for the demonstration.

A snowmachine. SO it would get me into more trouble than it would get me out of... So what?

Stryver, You asked....

Cool -- I've directed my girlfriend to pop in here and look at my wish list...

Someone to carry all of my gear forme,make camp, wash dishes and rub my feet. I'll cook,forage and tell tall tails. Most of the gear I have is dated but top rate. I finally got a Gortex suit this year. Too many knives,axes,machetes to carry at one time.

O' and some time and money to get out in the bush again.

May God Bless you and keep you and yours from harm.
