I didn’t say anything but I was really disappointed. Then around 1 or 2 as usual dad started packing the Bronco to head to the hunting camp in TN. He finished putting his stuff in and comes in the house and looks at me and said “well, ain’t you coming?” That’s why he got me all that camping gear, it was the 1st time I got to go to the hunting camp. And for the next 30+ years we chased deer til he got to where he couldn’t do it anymore. Best Christmas presents ever.


Best answer hands down.
