My birthday was last week and I recieved an amazon.com gift certificatefrom one of my sisters and used it for a couple of books, one of which is 'The Book of Decorative Knots by Peter Owen'. I bought this book a few years ago, but sent my copy to a friend in Iraq last year knowing I'd eventually replace it. It's a great book for a beginner with easy to follow diagrams on lots of decorative knots.

I also recieved a little money from both of my grandmothers and put that together for a new Jetbeam C-LE V2 flashlight, bought from Bug Out Gear USA. I added a split ring and carabiner to one of my 'Type I' OD Green paracord lanyard/wrist straps. This is an updated version of the C-LE with a 'clickie' tailcap, where the other one I have has the 'twisty' head to turn on the light and switch between the 5 outputs of the light.

Storndrane I blamed you when I bought the Jet Beam CL-E V. 1.2 after seeing it in your blog a couple of months ago. But I guess I'll have to plead guilty myself for getting the V.2. Both are great lights that perform far better than their modest size might suggest, but the addition of the tail clickie switch made the V.2 perfect! Thanks for putting the Jet Beam in your blog and providing the right temptation.

They are nice pocket lights, especially for the features at their price point. =)
