We are kicking off the men’s gift guide series with some must haves for the outdoorsman in your life. I’ve done my best to focus on essentials here, and have recommended only brands I trust. YETI Sidekick- I ended up winning one at a raffle and am amazed at how often I use it. Not only is it a great dry bag, it’s super convenient for a small tackle bag when fishing. YETI Bucket- This is my go to piece of gear at the beach. I store my cast net in it year round, and use it to move baitfish, collect blue crabs, or just as a drink cooler when filled with ice. It’s basically indestructible. YETI Rambler 36 oz bottle- My go to, EDC water bottle. Fits in the cup holder of my truck and holds enough water to keep me hydrated. It’s also virtually indestructible and keeps ice all day. Backcountry Down Jacket- A puffy jacket is unbeatable when it comes to packability and warmth. I love a hood since I usually wear a ball cap. I love this color for most outfits. Benchmade Griptilian- Benchmades are iconic in the knife industry. Not only are they American made, but they have great customer service. They’ll love carrying one in their pocket each day. GoPro Hero10- Having the ability to record all of life’s adventures at the press of a single button is such a blessing. Get one and use it. You’ll thank me. Simms Hoodie- I hate sunscreen. I always prefer to wear a hoodie when I’m outside all day, keeping my neck, shoulders, and arms protected. These also keep the mosquitos away which is a huge plus. Helinox Chair- A comfortable camp chair that’s light weight and packs up small is great whether you’re tailgating, car camping, or just hanging out. With accessories like rockers and a sunshade available, this one is hard to beat. LTKGiftGuide LTKmens LTKtravel
