I remember when I got one of these http://www.rei.com/product/660002 for Christmas one year and was stoked about it.
As much as I love camping, I suggest only going for that if you're 100% sure that you're going to use it. That being said, camping gear can last you a lifetime, and the technology upgrades aren't super frequent (hey guys, I think we need something other than a tent to sleep in this time), where as with a camera, 3 months from now you will be able to buy the same thing for a decent chunk of change less. -

I decided on the camera. I need it for work, and it is the best mix of affordability and features I need. Though it will also be for personal use, I will likely never require a better camera then this.
I decided to order the camping gear on my own. These are en-route to me now:
Wetterlings Axe ("Wildlife" model)
Some Frost River camp knives (using my Kabar as a standard camp knife is painful, though it excels at it)
Ontario CT2 Machete
White Mountain Backpack (Trail Blazer)
Bushnell 10x25 H2O WP binocs
Original style Tilley Hat
Damascus Dufflebag (less for camping, more as my work BoB)
It pleases me that much of my work kit is very useful and practical for my personal life as well. -
Mom: Ipod
Dad: Home Depot gift cards (its all he ever wants)
Sister: No clue
Everyone else: The most random thing ever.
Want: Boobs -

I hear they have surgeries for that kind of thing.
