You know that day after the holidays when you have to go back to work or school and all you want to do is play with your new toys? Well, I was lucky enough to be able to do just that — stay home and play with my new outdoorsy gadgets.

In the video below, I’m snowed in from work, so I spend some time at my home office experimenting with my new Garmin etex 20 handheld GPS, which I received from my father for Christmas. If you’re interested in using a GPS out in the woods or just want to get a glimpse of my lovely cats (Bo & Arrow), click play. You might also enjoy the video if you’ve ever been frustrated with electronics.
