Enough of a surprise to hear my gift was available for picking up, but then seeing it is from Cabella's, well icing on the cake!!

Well where to start, an interesting little box, should I shake it? Maybe not.... ;-) Open it up - a whole collection of goodies...

So many items I can take on my next day hike or longer hikes. A Paracord bracelot for daily wear, great timing as I had lost my last one.

Emergency blanket, just in case I get stranded or have to set up some sort of signal.

Hand warmer, for those cold wet spring hikes. Nothing comfortable about cold wet hands...or wet gloves.

An emergency Horn, always wanted to blow my own horn. Seems to work quite well, at least to my furry friends.

So Santa, thank you very much a great selection of items easy to pack, no weight and things that may get me out of a few tight spots.

BTW, you should get out there and explore yourself , I grew up in Alberta spent lots of time in Banff, Jasper and Waterton Lakes Parks. Some incredible beauty.

Peace ...
