1. A Speer pea pod (best Christmas gift ever!)
2. Claytor no net hammock
3.Speer straps, triglides and dutch clips for item number 2
Those 3 together opened up a whole new hammock world for me----it makes set up so much easier and faster for me, and of course, the peapod makes cold weather fun! Ive always had synthetic bags, but after using a peapod with 900 down, Ill never go back----its so light its like wrapping your self in a cloud! Also, taking Billy bobs advice, the peapod and claytor make a great combo!
FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.

DIY Bushbuddy - So simple. I actually got the idea from an HF post that I couldn't locate but the same idea as listed here.
DIY Whoopies - Can't stop playing with Amsteel (made bearbag line, suspension extenders, chainlinks, the list goes on)
All Stormcrow UQs - warm butt, no fuss, 'nuff said.
1 - Hammockgear 3 season Incubator - VERY good at what it does; I've been warm in it down to 15F!
2 - MBD Squirrel Cage (+ MOAB Slipped Disk & MM Modules) - Ease of use, lightweight and versatile cooking
options, I am really impressed that it will boil 2 cups of water (room temp.) in 4 1/2 minutes. Yow!
3 - Vibram KSO Trek trail shoes - Wore these on the trail at MAHHA, completely comfortable, gave a great feel
of the ground without being painful at all.

1. Warbonnet Winter Yeti: I got it about 5 minutes ago, and I can't wait to try it out.
2. Tent Stakes from JRB: After a bad experience with the stakes that came with my Kelty tarp, these stakes will hopefully perform much better.
3. Thermarest Z-Lite: Just a great, light pad.

1. Oboz Women's Sawtooth hiking shoes -- the best ones I've owned so far.
2. Marmot Venus Down Jacket -- can't go wrong with more down.
3. WB Hammocks -- got both the Traveler and a BB this year. Love them both!

It puts the Underquilt on it's hammock ... It does this whenever it gets cold
1. AHE Whoopies - Makes life so much easier.
2. AHE Owhyee TQ - had it from the 50's to the 20's and it performed flawlessly.
3. JRB Driducks Weathershield - Used this over my HH bug net to get me down to the low 20's with the Owhyee TQ and had no condensation issues. Was nice and toasty.
For me it would have to be:
1. WBBB 1.7 - Quite simply the best of the best!
2. Leigh's 3 season UQ - Quality construction and works very well.
3. MBD's mini atomic stove - works great as an auxiliary burner for my BushBuddy Stove.
