TPW MAGAZINE -- DECEMBER PREVIEW: Holiday gift ideas for 
your outdoor enthusiast ... coming up on Passport to 
Texas.

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife 

Gift giving season is here, and TP&W magazine managing 
editor Louie Bond tells us about this year's goodie guide.

Every month it is so hard to pick my favorite story, but 
December is the one month it is not hard at all, because we 
have a gift guide every December. So, I just wanted to tell you 
about a few of them. One kind of simple thing is a camouflage 
suit, which you wouldn't think is anything new, but this year it's 
in 3-D; they've added some new optical effects, so you're going 
to be trickier than ever. I don't know if you've ever gotten lost in 
the woods -- but I have. And this next gadget -- the spot 
messenger -- a personal locater that uses GPS technology. You 
can push a button and the Google map will pop up on your 
friend's computer, showing exactly where you are and that 
you're lost. We, of course, have the usual best of binoculars, 
and boots, and bows, but one thing that really caught my eye 
this year, and I know every deer hunter is going to have to have 
[reverb] The Rackulator [reverb]; the world's only electronic big 
game scoring tool. And, Santa, if you're listening ... .I want the 
ultra light dualist cook system, so I don't have to lug my 
personal pots and pans when I'm camping, and they won't 
return home covered in soot. :67

Thanks Louie. The December issue of Texas Parks and 
Wildlife Magazine is on newsstands now.

That's our show ... For Texas Parks and Wildlife ... I'm
