Gift Guide: Outdoors
Only the boldest of explorers go out this time of year, but if you have someone on your list already craving a return to Mother Nature’s embrace, you can help them gear up for their next adventure before the weather turns. Here are a few of our favorite items that make perfect gifts for the outdoorsman on your list.
Zubin Axe
The guys behind the Zubin Axe are on a mission to bring the hiking stick into the 21st century. Not simply a walking stick, the Zubin Axe can transform into an axe, fishing spear, slingshot, or a saw. Consider it a giant multitool. $64
Fire Kit
Not every piece of outdoor gear has to look bland and utilitarian. This waterproof Fire Kit houses a set of strike anywhere matches which can be struck on the bottom of the canister to light them. It’s machined from a solid bar of brass in New York, and, unlike most other pieces, is actually a stylish camping accessory. $150
Rock the Shack
Give the gift of inspiration with Rock the Shack. The 240-page book is loaded with awesome getaway cabins. Little abodes not cluttered by other homes or roadways. It will inspire the person you give it to, to explore more and maybe even build one of his own. $44
Baro Cook
Not every adventure involves starting a fire. For the times when you don’t want to flame-lick your food, consider the Baro Cook. The clever cooker uses simple heating packs to heat water and cook your entree. No electricity or fire needed to enjoy an outdoor meal. $45
VSSL Supplies
Packing can be a headache for the adventurer. For a sharp and simple way to help him save space in his bag, give him the VSSL Supplies Kit. The anodized aluminum cylinder contains almost everything you could possibly need outside of a tent. $89
Photive BOLT External Battery Charge
An external battery is great for juicing a phone or other device while in the middle of the woods.Of course, if that battery will get destroyed by rain or other conditions, it’s of little use to campers. The Photive BOLT External Battery Charger is designed it withstand mud, dirt, sand, and rain, while the high speed ports allow for snappy charging. $40
The Pocket Torch
This simple little device will supercharge a disposable lighter. Drop a rectangular lighter in, and it will allow it to produce a flame with a temperature of 2,300 ℉. Whether to start up a camp stove or get a fire going, it’s the perfect little stocking stuffer. $20
Simple Fly Fishing Kit
No complicated reel or unnecessary parts, this travel-friendly Simple Fly Fishing Kit is perfect for the outdoorsman who craves simplicity. Included with the fly rod and necessary accessories is a helpful techniques book, making the kit perfect for beginner and pro alike. $280
Z.A.P.S. Gear Survival Grenade
Normally we wouldn’t recommend carrying around a grenade in your backpack (actually, we’d never recommend it), but this grenade is different. The Z.A.P.S. Gear Survival Grenade is a survival kit loaded in a tiny package. Designed by a Marine Scout Sniper, the kit includes a knife blade, wire saw, water purification tabs, plenty of paracord, and a ton more to keep you kicking. $75
KLAX
Let’s assume most axes will be a pain to lug around with a ton of gear already strapped to your back. What do you do? The KLAX is a clever blade that attaches to any sturdy stick to give the outdoorsman an impromptu axe. You can even upgrade to versions that include other tools built right into the KLAX. $160
Foldable Entrenching Tool
If there’s one thing you’ll find when it comes to packing for an adventure, it’s that space is always at a premium. This entrenching tool folds up to make it a reasonable addition to the outdoorsman’s next excursion. Tough enough to tear through the earth, but lightweight enough to throw in a bag. $20
Camp Coffee Kit
Before a day of hills and trails, the outdoorsman will need a bit of energy. This Camp Coffee Kit from Bush Smarts lets that person brew up a seriously great cup of coffee before a day in the wild. Since they aren’t taking a Keurig to the campsite, this kit makes sure they stay appropriately caffeinated. $89
Hella Slingshots
Combining a little nostalgia with superior craftsmanship, these Hella Slingshots add a little mischief to any outdoor adventure. Let them channel their inner Dennis the Menace next time they go out. $40
