I hit the big 40 today. I got an Equinox Silnylon tarp, a Gerber Suspension, an Inova Microlight, a Nalgene splashguard, a set of Snow Peak titanium silverware, and best of all, a huge surprise party.

My girlfriend pulled off the impossible, surprising me with a birthday party. No-one has ever done it before.

Happy birthday. For my 50th I got a "survival cane" and an OWL (optical wallet light)

Sadly, I find it comes in handy at times. Haven't tried it as a fire starter. cry

Thanks, guys. And Blast, I'd definitely say she's a keeper.

I just ordered my birthday presents to myself too. A Kelty Redwing 3100 to replace my ACU digital Voodoo Tactical bag (I got where I don't like the camo look), a Brunton 12NL keychain compass, a mini Fox 40 whistle, and a Bison Designs keychain capsule.

I ordered all of it from REI. The backpack and compass were 2008 closeouts on REI-Outlet. I already worked a deal on the backpack too. It was $59.93 on sale, and my roommate has been wanting a Voodoo bag just like mine for a while, so I'm selling it to him (like new) for $20. So I'll have roughly $39 in a really good backpack. I read a ton of reviews before pulling the trigger on buying it.

Now I just gotta wait for the awesome brown truck to roll up with my goodies.

And happy birthday Matt26.
