It’s coming up to that time of year where we all start to go shopping to find meaningful and useful items for each other. The last thing a hiker wants is more “stuff” to carry, but some of these items will be guaranteed to be used if gifted to the outdoorsy type. I hope this makes shopping a little easier!!

There are hundreds of stoves on the market these days, but this one serves the purpose just fine. Weighing in at just 25gms you’ll hardly notice the weight in your bag, and it’s super affordable, especially for a piece of gear that will last forever. Give the gift of a hot meal!
Nalgene’s have managed to capture the adventure loving audience so well that everyone gets excited about a new Nalgene, and it’s perfectly fine to own more than one of these. Extra points if you have some cools stickers to add to it as well.
