Stocking Stuffer Ideas For Older Backpackers

[@maureenobryan6141]

Great reminder for me to let the family know about the one item I don't have - the flextail pump! This was a nice review of simple things for gift giving! Enjoy your warmer Christmas in the desert! Sure beats being frozen in!

"They're coming to take me away, ha, ha" great ideas for stocking stuffers. Don't realize you wanted one until you get it for Christmas!

[@akwild1]

So true! Merry Christmas and Happy Trails!

😂😂😂I have my 63rd birthday coming soon and I had to make sure my wife was around when I watched this video the first time on my TV. I think she got the idea😊. thank you brother. Dwayne

Very strategic of you brother. Last thing we need is a tie for Christmas, or a kitchen appliance.

[@danidaskam1027]

Thanks for the gift ideas! I need a couple of these for myself, too.

[@glenloewen7507]

I love you brother! That was a great video! FYI - I’m booked for May 9th on the PCT. I hope I can push that date up a bit.

Darn Tough socks for the win.

[@akwild1]

Yes, it can also be the stuffing sock - double duty.

Some good stuff there. I would like to get a flextail pump, that would be handy.

[@janismiller7120]

Great suggestions, thank you

[@akwild1]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching!

Good afternoon friend, it's been a while since I've seen a video of yours, I think you're in great shape. I just forwarded this video to my daughter, just for informational purposes of course (hehe), I hope you have a good Christmas and a better year. From far away, a hug. 13:01

Ramon, great to hear from you again. I hope all is well and your hikes are continuing. Merry Christmas to you, too!

[@rongoris3022]

How about a pair of gaitors?

[@akwild1]

Sure thing. Especially for winter hiking or dirty desert treks.

[@Karen-dq8nw]

When is the next long adventure hike?! (oh, it's "sa-wa-row," silent G - sorry that's the grammarian in me!)

[@akwild1]

Thanks for the phonics lesson. Kind of like Ptarmigan I suppose. Pondering the Arizona Trail. I’m getting the itch.
