My Santa totally came through:

LifeStraw filtration system, good for up to 1000 liters of water Magnesium Fire Starter to start fires (I was heading out tomorrow to buy the exact same lighter - now I can skip it =) ) And, best of all, "Shelters, Shacks, and Shanties" - A guide on how to build your own shelter in the woods, from simple brush shelters to sophisticated log cabins. And I know EXACTLY who I can grab to practice with! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Thanks Santa!!!!
