A HUGE Merry Christmas to me from Humongo (Jim), how a great mind thinks shows right here folks, I had actually made mention of the compact Spork a few days ago and how this would be a PERFECT addition to my pack and trail gear....nicely done sir !...and oooohhhh the solo lightweight goodness...I love minimalist stuff, back in the day we used to cut handles off of our toothbrushes and eating utensils. ARFCOM Christmas FTW !!!

I opened mine this afternoon from robie1, it was packed full of goodness in MULTIPLE ways:
First was a beignet mix. I have never had one, much less made one but after reading up on them on wikipedia, I can't wait to make them. There were also fruit pies from Louisiana, apple, sweet potato and lemon. All of these will be eaten while I enjoy a cup or two of the Louisiana coffee that was included. There was a bag of Voodoo potato chips (these said limited) not sure if they are limited to this time of year or just to robie1's local area. I am sure they will go good with my ham sandwich sammich for lunch tomorrow. Enough about the food. There was also an energizer led headlamp. This will be put in the GHB as it doesn't currently have one. A compass, whistle, magnifying glass multi tool, a 30 round pmag, a day pack, and a saw. All in all an excellent package. Thank you robie1. ETA: forgot where I was, corrected sammich mis-spelling! |

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. Opened the package I got from riggins today. had a great time opening the ones that were mine...( he sent my boys their own gifts which they LOVED!). Read the card that accompanied the gifts to my boys before we opened the gifts, and the story behind them really made us appreciate the wrapping, especially as a father.
AND: 
Great gifs. Me and the boys each got a pouch. Mine was a greatly upgraded version. They all had a survival tin, button compass, small squeeze bottles, mini lights, flashlights (though mine is 210 lumens), and the boys had a Gerber mini tool and survival whistle. The wife got a tin with teeney little bottles in it and a button compass. Riggins also sent a jar of his favorite Texas seasoning which will go on some steaks I will grill this week. He also sent a can of Yoders Bacon (YAAAYYYYYY!) I also received an AR15.com poker chip and a bolt face logo which will be going on my truck window in the morning––- Thanks riggins. Great and thoughtful gifts I couldn't be happier with all of them, the boys thank you too. My 9 y/o has already put other survival items in his pouch and I will be adding to them this week. |

I did not take a pic yet but Nick has exceeded my expectations. We swapped numbers and talked before swapping gifts. It makes it a lot more personal when you can learn a little about the person you are matched with. I was slow shipping his will be there next week. I am ready to do it again. I am also ready to send Nick some grits and a Moon Pie  and some seeds for a grit tree  Merry Christmas everyone

I did a double take on the label but that is the correct model for a few including your latest caliber of choice... If not, let me know and we'll change her up. Thanks again. If when I end up down your way, dinner's on me.  |

I wanted to say thanks to hootch13 for the awesome gifts. I am putting together some better GHBs for my wife and I and he got me started nicely.
2 of each: Nalgene bottles Mountain house food packs Mainstay bars (the large calorie size) Headlamps MRE deserts (brownies)

So you are saying God hates these endangered ducks?
No, I am just saying that if God liked ducks they wouldn't be endangered.

How viable is the "right of self-defense" if you must first beg governments permission to defend your life with a gun?

Not only did I get all of the great mountain house food from my gift exchange partner, he also sent an outstanding long term storage gift as well! My wife and I just recently came home from the hospital after she delivered our first child and there was a large (and quite heavy) box waiting on the back porch. Donith sent some awesome #10 cans for long term preps. He knew that one was one of shortfalls when it came to my preps. So here is everything that he sent me: Box 1: 
Box 2: 
I really don't know what to say, but thank you!!! You were overly generous! |
