i got the normal guy stuff but the hit of the gifts was a big supply of Romneys Kendal Mint Cake.a buddy was over in the UK and had heard me going on about how no one in the States was carrying this "power bar" anymore,REI was the last some years ago.
the mint cake is a candy of sorts that has been used on polar and Mt Everest expeditions.i'll have a bite to perk up when i'm out on the canoe trips and a long portage is in sight.
on another note..at our friend big multi family gathering on Xmas day to exchange gifts and have a big meal i fell asleep in a comfy chair!!..i woke up to folks opening gifts and kids scampering around...i'll need more coffee in the survival kit---
