Giving outdoor supplies as gifts

Believe it or not, there are now a whole number of outdoor supplies that can be given to friends as gifts. You may think that there is nothing glamorous about equipment designed for stomping around in the great outdoors, but some outdoor supplies combine gadgetry with practicality, to make a great gift. What’s more, if they like camping, trekking or hunting then any of the following will be well received.

For example, everyone knows that the Swiss army knife is an essential piece of equipment for anyone going on a trek. Now, however, this great range of outdoor supplies and accessories has been augmented with a digitally enhanced version – the Swiss army knife with USB memory stick. While this might not immediately appeal, and may not have much use in the field, it is certainly a novel gift for someone who likes both computers and trekking.

Along the same lines, many stores stocking outdoor supplies are now offering digital compasses right next to their exiting analog range. The attraction is immediately clear – it gives a better reading, can be used in the dark, and usually comes with additional features such as a calendar. Of course, a step up is a full fledged GPS, but this remains out of reach for most gift givers, unless that someone is really special.

Finally, there are also a whole range of ultralight outdoor supplies, anything from clever stoves to tents and packs. Also, one of the latest sleeping bags packed with down and waterproofed for maximum comfort could also make an excellent camping gift.
