Holiday Gift Guide 2023: Gadgets And Gear For Outdoor Adventurers
11.12.2023 - 16:25 / forbes.com
Is there an outdoor lover in your life? Perhaps a hiker, biker, camper, or other adventurer? Need a gift for them?
Below is a collection of some of the coolest new gear on the market, some favorites plucked from a variety of outdoor segments. From tents and fishing poles to gloves and boots, these will make great gifts for your adventurer this holiday season. Gift cards to any of the below brands (or outdoor companies in general) are also a good idea.
Located on the “Western Slope” of Colorado, Seek Outside is a tent and backpack manufacturer specializing in “hot tents.” That is, tents that can house a small, lightweight stove for use in cold temperatures. The stove, which packs down into a small briefcase that slides into your pack, can weigh less than two pounds (exact weight depending on size), and the tents are also lightweight, making them ideal for hunters and other backcountry adventurers. Check out the line of hot tents from Seek Outside and learn more about how a hot tent works.
This may seem old school, but think of it as a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year. Trails Magazine is a brand-new outdoor publication for backpackers, and it serves up a bit of counter culture: The adventure community has had enough mass produced, ad-filled, cheap magazines from outdoor media monopolies. Trails Magazine isn't that. We're an independent, quarterly, print-only, high-quality coffee table magazine for the backpacking and trail community. Tell Santa about a subscription to Trails Magazine to keep the tradition of print alive.
Got a fisherman in your life? Consider outfitting them with a new rod from Tenkara. They specialize in collapsible fishing rods that are light and easy to transport, say, to a campsite or backcountry lake. The Beartooth, for example, is designed as a “glovebox rod,” small enough to keep around for whenever the opportunity to fish may present itself. Best as a secondary rod for established fishermen, these Tenkara rods are different than a traditional fly fishing rod in that they don’t have a reel; instead, they promote simplicity (and model traditional fishing poles) with just a rod, line, and fly. Tenkara also offers a line of flies and accessories that make good stocking stuffers.
One of the nicest things you can do for a friend or family member who lives in a colder winter climate is outfit them with a pair of versatile, insulated boots. The Renagade Warm GTX Mid from Lowa, for example, is worthy enough for the trail, but also incredibly useful on icy streets and, at least in my view, it looks good enough to be worn around town as a general winter boot. Your feet and toes are kept warm by the fleece insulation and wool ankle cuff, while the grippy outsole gives
