10 Gift Ideas For Men Who Love The Outdoors

Are you looking for an awesome gift for the outdoorsy man in your life? There’s so much outdoor equipment on the market, and it can be hard to choose without the right knowledge. To help you choose the perfect gift, have a read of these ten recommendations.

1 . Waterproof binoculars

Waterproof binoculars are a great gift for outdoorsy people, (particularly those who enjoy birdwatching). These binoculars have hermetically sealed components, to stop moisture and dust from getting inside. Some people choose not to use their binoculars in rainy conditions, however, it’s still worth having waterproof binoculars anyway. Even the smallest amount of moisture in the air can cause the lenses to mist up, making it difficult to see. To find the best waterproof binoculars it’s a good idea to read up on a few reviews.

2. A hammock

Hammocks are perfect for camping lovers, plus they are a really fun and quirky gift. When you’re choosing a hammock for someone you’ll need to know roughly how tall they are. According to Rei Co-Op, you should choose a hammock that’s at least two feet longer than your height. You’ll also want to think about the fabric of the hammock, it’s worth choosing an eco-friendly material if you can find one.

La Siesta is considered one of the best companies to find organic hammocks. These hammocks are GOTS certified, so each supply chain step must meet strict social and ecological guidelines. Hammocks come in plenty of funky colors and designs if you’re looking for a bit more of a novelty gift.

3. Portable fire pit

A fire pit is basically a lidless container that you can make a fire with, using charcoal or wood. You can use a fire pit for warmth, or cooking. Usually, these pits are elevated off the ground, so you won’t burn the ground below. Portable fire pits are more fun than normal camping stoves because you get the atmosphere and novelty of an actual fire. When you’re looking for a fire pit you’ll need to consider how easy the pit is to put together, and how heavy the pit is. Outdoors Magic recommends the Primus Kamoto.

4. Roasting sticks

No camping trip is complete unless you’re roasting marshmallows around a fire. There are plenty of types of roasting sticks you can buy, including kid-friendly options if you’re headed on a family camping trip. This is the perfect gift for people who love outdoor adventures.
