Dear Santa,
I’ve been a very good boy this last year and have a few things I’d love to get, most of which ironically are not for me. Couple years back I had an awesome SS on Tacoma World who bought me amongst other things a bubba rope and gator jaw synthetic rope. Though I absolutely love it the bubba rope is pretty underrated (it’s really designed for atvs and some utvs according to the website) and unfortunately it got a bit frayed last winter pulling a young marine out of a snow/mud pit. Despite the fraying it is still doing its job and has had many other successful recoveries since, but I know its only a matter of time before I snap it pulling someone else out. A new, properly rated bubba rope would be the coolest thing!
Another item I would love to get is a new Baofeng GT-3TP Mark III tri power ham radio. I had one and lost it at some point while doing a stressful recovery. I’m not sure if I set the thing down on the ground or if I actually brought the thing into my house sometime after but I have not been able to find it since. It was a great tool for doing recoveries and even was used in a few search and rescue missions. I have all the stuff for it including the charging dock and car charger still. I literally just need the radio and maybe the extended battery but that was never a necessity with that thing
Lastly I would love some kind of way to record my offroad adventures. Standard little dash cam, go pro, etc, just something I can mount inside the truck and take long videos with while also being able to transfer it from truck to truck since I do have multiple.
If not I’m sure this list gives you a pretty good idea of what to get me. Really anything that fits my 1991 Pickup or my 1990 4runner would be great. The ol 4runner needs a new heart and will probably receive a nice 3.4 transplant so all my mod funds are going towards that and nothing fun for the pickup lol. I’m sure whatever it is I’m gonna love it. Now time for me to go stalk my giftee!
