Nils new convertible auger for use with cordless drills. Very excited about it! Also hoping to get an enclosed trailer for my snowmobile and tow sled, but don't know if I can swing it. Those trailers are expensive and I need a 10' for my long track sled.

I added a Jiffy Model 30 two seasons ago, but I couldn't get it running at all last season.  Gonna tune it up soon, so it will be in the sled with me this season!

Picked up a snowmobile couple weeks ago.

maybe a couple new heritage tipups?

Flasher of some sort. havent decided whether to go with marcum or humminbird.

some new jigs for sure.

larger jet sled or a dog sled if i can find one cheap enough.

will have to see if i can get my auger running properly, if not, might needa pick up a new one.

lighter action jigpole.

Decent pair of gloves for sure.

Not pleased with my boots so i may needa find a new pair. cold feet are the worst.

i think thats about it  ;D

Thinking of trading in my nice Jiffy for a lighter propane so the asthma won't take such a toll on my activity.

I added runners to my Nanook and scored some free skis last week for my Smitty Build that will be finished this weekend.  I would like to add a trailer for my XLV which I can register as an antique in 2014.

Got a trailer this year, so maybe I can bring out the old snowmobile.  I'm starting to get a little old for the 2 hr walks with 80lbs of gear!  Plus want to be more mobile, less trappin' more jiggin'!!
