[pct-l] Holiday Backpacker Gifts

[g l]

I might be able to go with everything except the Petzl Headlamp..........3 TRIPLE A BATTERIES????  I don't think so..........I'll stick with my Petzl E+Lite headlamp with 2 watch batteries.  The weight is less than one oz WITH batteries.  And/ or my Gossamer Gear Photon light...attachable to hat....way cool and sooooo light.

Or you could get me some cool birthday gifts for the  big breakfast ruck in Bishop, CA on January 26.  Here are some great  inexpensive gifts for that significant hiker in your life.
  
 1. www.mountainlaureldesigns.com and  the Ti Shelter Stakes, Spectralite.60 Stuff Sacks 
 2. www.gossamergear.com and  the EZC 2 Line, mini dropper bottles, ThinLite 3/8 inch thick sleeping pad,  Polycryo Ground Cloth, StowLite Stow Sacks
 3. www.rei.com and the Sawyer  Inline Water Filter (item number 750378) and Petzl Zipka Plus LED Headlamp  (super compact - item number 751759)
 4. www.luxuryLite.com  and the UltraLite 2.5oz PillowPad - also get the REI.com Therm-a-Rest Trekker Pillowcase (item number  719845)
 5. www.ula-equipment.com and  the Mist Over Mitts, pack covers, Rain Wrap, Helix Potty Trowel
  
 By the way, I am now recommending you use a Polycryo for a ground  cloth under your shelter and the ThinLite inside your shelter under your  sleeping bag.  I also use a torso pad inside too. Sleeping on foam is  a lot warmer than sleeping on a nylon shelter floor.
  
 For the pillow case, use a piece of Velcro tape to keep the end shut.   Very simple to keep the PillowPad securely inside.  Super comfortable and  warm.
  
 Always thinking of your welfare, Switchback
  
 PS: Use of these products is your safety  responsibility.
