12 Days of 'Outdoor' Christmas for Hikers and Campers

Are you looking to upgrade or enhance your outdoor gear? Or show your fellow outdoor adventurer some love through giving? Below you'll find a few gift ideas for yourself or other outdoor enthusiasts who like to Hike, Camp, Fish, Hunt, Backpack, etc.... Take a look.

Merry Christmas!

Hot Ramen Noodles on your next hike or Coffee and Dinner on your next campout. Or a hot lunch on the shore on your next fishing trip. Compact and versatile. No fuss.

Hiking boots with no break-in period required. From the box to the trail.

Dinnerware solved. Collapses down and stacks to a thickness less than a deck of cards.

Go hands-free for night hikes and working in the dark

Keep your sleeping bag and anything else totally dry. Great for day hikes or backpacking to make sure your change of clothes or sleeping bag stays dry and compressed to save space.

Enhance your acceleration and braking (disclaimer: not for driving. Hiking only)

Stay protected from the sun and add a little style

Wool Socks. I know, no one likes to receive socks for Christmas but you need to ditch the cotton

Use these light load towels for many purposes. They expand when you add water and are reusable. Get your cool outdoor morning started with a hot face towel. Get your hot water fast with the Jet Boil.

It's always good to have a knife when spending significant time outdoors. There are much better knives available but this will get you started

Carry a first-aid kit ... just in case you cut yourself with your new knife. You never know. This first-aid kit is very compact, packable and waterproof.

Water filtering simplified. For those longer hikes where you don't want to carry large amounts of water and alternate fresh water sources are available.

Flask. Certainly I don't need to explain.

Special gift for the nomadic renegade solo paddlers and adventure seekers. So you can be found .... if you want to be. Accidents happen and cell phones don't work everywhere. Also in case you didn't share what was in your flask, decided to keep it all for yourself and 8 oz. was too much for you.
