Some of our favorite gear from last winter – ideas for your loved ones (or yourself!) for this Christmas!
Aluminum Roll-Up Campsite Table
Camco’s aluminum roll-up campsite table can comfortably seat between four to six people for a meal, yet it’s still portable, lightweight and durable. It breaks down into five compact parts and comes with an included storage bag. $90. camcooutdoors.com
Take a Hike Earbuds
Skullcandy’s limited-edition Take A Hike Dime 2 earbuds are meant as a reminder to celebrate and protect our natural spaces. They have a nature-in-the-’90s retro vibe and a portion of proceeds goes to nonprofit Protect Our Winters. The compact design means less waste, a smaller carbon footprint and it has 100% recyclable packaging. $39.99. skullcandy.com
Trail Meals Cookbooks
Steve Corso, a classically trained chef, realized on some backpacking trips that a lot of camp food was lacking and either freeze-dried, heavily salted or out of a bag. So he started testing recipes and now he has a series of camping cookbooks. We tested out his version of beef stroganoff–it’s easy to make and delicious! $14. outdooreats.com
Outdoor Minimalist
This new book by Meg Carney and Savannah Cuthbertson is subtitled, “Waste Less Hiking, Backpacking and Camping.” Learn the seven Rs of outdoor minimalism: reduce, refuse, rethink, repair, rehome/repurpose, remove, restore. They offer waste reduction tips and tricks, as well as packing lists to waste less with every trip you plan. $21.95. theoutdoorminimalist.com
Breeo Y Series
This lightweight, easy-to-carry smokeless fire pit is a great tool for outdoor adventures of all kinds, such as tailgating, camping, hunting, fishing and RVing. It can burn three types of fuel: wood, pellets or lump charcoal. And it even has a built-in, deck-safe heat shield, so you can use it at home, too. $495. Breeo,co
