Hence why I'm bragging about already having it shipped I agree with the other poster, I really enjoyed last year not having a clue at all what's coming.  With my family there is no surprise, it's still nice to get things don't get me wrong but I pretty much know ahead of time.

Any advice from the exchange members in general?

Obviously you don't give a man with only ARs lever gun ammo, but at the same time it shouldn't be a swap meet...it's a gift exchange!

How do you boys find the line between asking and surprises?

Thanks for the "bonus" that will give me something to distract me from opening the package until I'm supposed to.

Awesome! I obviously wasn't first to ship, maybe I'll be first to open and post contents and a thank you.

Protus gave me the option of waiting or opening early. Since this is my first, guess what I chose?

Got mine today :)  This is the part I love and hate..... I really enjoy the surprise but then I start worrying about did I not do enough, will they hate what I sent etc.  So on the one end it's a huge surprise since my partner and I didn't talk too much about what we were into, but on the other end maybe I put it a lot of stuff he already has?  Oh well it is what it is, honestly I probably won't make it until Christmas..... the box is staring at me as I type this

Dude. That's not what it's about.

As your partner, I say you did just fine. I was going to wait but couldn't help it.

Thanks for everything. I needed a water filter and a fixed blade, so you did great.

Pics will be up soon.

Hopefully you don't already have what I sent you. Theres a bunch of little stocking stuffers in there, but there are 2 main items that are "must haves" in my book.

THANK YOU goodasgone!

I am an instant gratification kind of guy so I fent.  I couldnt wait any longer, and boy did my partner hook it up!

We did not discuss our exchange AT ALL (except for the $50 budget).

He hit a home run. I guess Santa told him that I needed a fixed blade, pocket water filter and waterproof matches. The dry box, fire steel, and lamp were a nice bonus. Add to that the fact that I am a mag whore and didn't own a Lancer mag, and it made for a great exchange.

I really hope you like what I sent, partner. Thank you!

Boom!

Got and opened my first arfcom survival gift exchange!

Got a bad ass Underarmor all season tactical coat.  (OD of course)

Arfcom patch,  awesome!

Nalgene drinking adapter for the drinking impaired. (That's me.)

Leatherman tool,  hell yes. Going on the key chain now...

MOLLE pouch,  and a maxpedition zippered pouch which perfectly fits my Osprey Micro that's on jail!

Thanks Protus! You're the man!

I'm in for next year for sure!

Glad you like it.
Hope it fits...

And that SF patch was the camo/multicam design they did back around 06'iirc.

Figure since it was your first and me getting back into it.it would be a good old vs new deal ! Yeah im a softy like that. Lol




Ill prolly dig into yours sat/sun when ive got the camera out.







Have a great christmas....

Great! I was hoping that you didn't already have a dremel.  If the single speed doesn't meet your needs, you can exchange it at Walmart. I advise against the battery operated versions.

The Dime multi-tool is also really handy. I use mine every day.

Enjoy, partner. And please post pics of the project.

ETA: if you've never had Dillo Dust, it is good with pork. I use it with ribs and for smoking.
