Nothing I am afraid but at my age I am lucky to get very much that is 'fun' these days. However I did get a very comfy pair of slippers so my PA reading/writing and so on can be enjoyed with warm feet ! Which works for me  |

"Ultimate guide to wilderness living, survive with nothing but your bare hands and what you find in the woods" by John and Geri Mcpherson. Very interesting read, need a knife? Smash a rock etc. Photographs could be clearer but I have already got a few ideas. Nothing on boat building but I also got "The Boyne Currach" by Claidhbh O Gibne which answers that need.
Wet suit so I can fish from the kayak in winter as well.
Last year I got a multi-tool which also had a small axe/hammer amongst the tools (from a sister and brother in law who know me!
Anniversary of my heart attack on 6th January last year coming up so the whole year has been a survival prezzy. Hopefully will be able to have some bivvy bag foraging camps using the coracle or kayak or maybe a currach with some chums this year, The Good Lady Wife has (quite reasonably) vetoed solo overnight expeditions.

Wet suit so I can fish from the kayak in winter as well. Always rather liked the idea of fishing from a kayak although mine would be limited to the rather warmer waters of the Adriatic sea in the summer months. Only need for clothing would be to protect from sun-burn. Any particular brands or rigs to look out for ? |

Mine is a 15 foot Ocean Prowler Sit-On-Top kayak. Bit of a barge but she takes me where I want to go and can handle roughish waves.Although I have a rod I use a handline and am working on a dozen hook longline.
Interested in experimenting with snorkelling off the boat with a speargun which should be very nice to do in the Med. Met someone on a Greek Island who goes after octopi. Short sit on top would do for the sort of sea conditions out there, cheaper and lighter.
