Toss in a portaging cart (fold-up type with balloon wheels) and a mini-tripod for the digital camera, not to mention the Brandy Beans and Cognac filled chocolates. Looks like my portaging next year isn't gonna be as tough as I thought it would be. Add to that some new screw driver bits and a dove-tail saw and a few other bits and things are looking pretty good here. Woo! Hoo! Whaddid you guys get?
