How about your Winter projects?
1) Be outside with the kids and wife as much as possible. Hiking, making a fire, treasure hunt, basically have a good time.
2) Train my knees so I can take 3 straight days of downhill skiing. Doing telemark turns with a knee that does not want any load when bent is kind of awkward... (I've just come over that, now I just need to train myself up again).
3) Some minor gear modification projects. I've just finished a better method for wearing the GPS pouch with the map pouch. The next projects include a water bottle holder on my backpack and a utility pouch which is easy to use with my backpack on (for the kids mittens, gloves, hats etc that suddenly I need to take care of in the middle of everything).
4) Building a PSK (well, the contents of my pack is essentially a big PSK, but I'm assembling a small one).
5) Get that old hand-cranked sewing machine working again (flee market bargain). It can sew through some pretty solid webbing, but I need to brush up on my skills of how I actually use that thing.
