Father’s Day is right around the corner and I know many of us are still looking for that perfect last minute gift to celebrate dad. I’ve got a round up of gifts for the outdoorsy dad in your life. A lot of these gifts are my husband’s favorites, wishlist items, and even what I’m buying for Father’s Day!
The ALPS Mountaineering Dining Table is the ultimate camping table! It rolls up easily and stores small, making space in your car or camper. It is sturdy, yet lightweight , being made out of aluminum. If the dad in your life is anything like my husband, he kind of tends to take over the cooking while we’re out camping. This table is fantastic for the Coleman stove and makes a great prep space.
Every dad needs a good lifejacket that will provide security on the water, while not compromising comfort. The NRS Ninja is just the lifejacket to serve up comfort and flotation without additional bulk. This low profile Type III PFD is US Coast Guard Certified and ready to keep dad afloat while canoeing, kayaking, or whitewater rafting with the kids.
The Columbia PFG shirt provides UPF 30 Sun protection, making it a fantastic shirt for dads in the summer. The lightweight fabric stays cool and comfortable, even on the hottest days. Its quick try material dries quickly after a day on the boat. This is one of my favorite shirts for my husband because it gives my red head husband additional protection to keep his fair skin covered, while enjoying all his favorite water sports.
Every outdoorsy dad needs a good Leatherman multitool. This one features 21 tools in 1! It’s going to keep dad covered in every situation that may come up while out camping, on the trail, or fishing off the boat.
The Osprey Stratos is built to last! My husband has been sporting this 36 L backpack since I met him over 12 years ago. Still going strong and in great shape – this backpack makes a fantastic day pack, weekend backpacking bag, travel pack, and a pack out bag for the ski day. Every outdoorsy dad needs a good backpack, and this one is definitely a keeper!
After all that hiking, boating, and cooking up a killer camp breakfast, the dad in your life is going to be ready for a good beverage. The RTIC soft cooler holds up to 30 cans, keeps drinks cool for days, and doesn’t sweat. It definitely provides just what a dad is looking for when he reaches for a cold drink on a hot summer day.
They may look small, possibly insignificant even, but NRS straps have so many purposes! When my husband was on the podcast recently, he shared that his favorite piece of gear is his NRS straps. He uses them for the boat, tying down gear on the roof, creating shelters for camping, hanging bear bags, holding objects in places, and even as a belt. Add to the dad in your life’s strap collection for Father’s Day.
The Coleman stove is a camping classic. Built for longevity, getting dad this stove ensures he’s got a great spot to cook up the next camping breakfast!
With Father’s Day coming up soon, don’t wait on getting the dad in your life some high-quality outdoor gear to get him on his next adventure!
