Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson jacket
Flint and Tinder’s selection of rugged clothing is among our favorites for how well it blends timeless Americana with cutting-edge construction methods. We especially love this Waxed Hudson Jacket, which takes a vintage hunting silhouette and transposes the style for everyday wear, built with a shell made of 100% waxed cotton canvas from the iconic Halley Stevensons, insulated with cotton plaid flannel.
The MeatEater Outdoor Cookbook: Wild Game Recipes for the Grill, Smoker, Campstove, and Campfire
If you’re unsure what to eat out in the wild, you’ll be glad to hear that outdoorsman Steven Rinella is back again with the latest entry in his popular MeatEater series, this time with over 100 recipes working with wild game during your outdoor excursions.
Patagonia Range Earflap Cap
Whether you’re going for a frigid hike or trekking through the woods looking for some food, patagonia’s Range Earflap Cap is a great heritage-inspired pick, with a shorter brim that won’t obstruct your view and tie-up ear flaps for multiple wearing options.
VSSL Nest Pour Over Coffee Kit
VSSL recently rebranded away from their gear capsules to exclusively making coffee-related items for the outdoors, including this new all-in-one Nest Pour Over Coffee Kit. Compact enough to fit into your camping bag, this coffee maker includes a pair of 10oz stainless steel mugs and a pour-over dripper with reusable mesh filter.
Überleben Stöker Stove
After making a name for itself with its minimalist EDC-friendly fire starters, Idaho-based Überleben decided to come out with this minimalist camp stove that utilizes twigs as firewood and weighs just over 1lb. For the outdoorsman desiring a fresh new take on camp cooking, this stainless steel unit is perfect.
Nomadix Puffer Blanket: National Parks and Monuments Map
For the National Park enthusiast in your life, get them the Nomadix Puffer Blanket, which itself is like a quilted sleeping bag for the campfire. Released a few months back, this special-edition version features a map of America’s National Parks and Monuments.
Santa Fe Stoneworks Ironwood + Turquoise Damascus Knife
Evocative of the outdoors itself, this folding knife from Sante Fe Stoneworks also features slivers of real 150-year-old brachiosaurus bones built into its handle, allowing you to carry around something pretty special in your pocket. If that’s not enough, the Damascus blade is made from 110 layers of 440C and N690 high alloy steel.
Grayl GeoPress Ti 24oz
Water bottles might not always be the most gift-worthy item. But this year, Grayl changed all that by debuting a titanium version of its 24-ounce GeoPress, which not only looks superb but features a unique filtration system. The bottle also comes with or without a cooking lid.
YETI Cast Iron Skillet 10”
After acquiring Butter Pat, YETI naturally debuted its very first cast iron skillet collection using the former’s proven methods that date back to the 19th century. Made right here in the USA, YETI’s pans have some improvements such as ergonomic handles and dual pouring spouts.
Timex x Worn & Wound WW75 V3
Timex and Worn & Wound just dropped the third version of their annual WW75 field watch collab. Available in both Sunflower and Sunset colorways, the 37mm watch is originally based on a ‘70s quartz watch, fitted this time with an automatic movement, making its $239 price tag all the more impressive.
HOKA Kaha 2 Frost GTX Hiking Boot
Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean you should stay indoors. Recently, HOKA took its Kaha 2 hiking boots and gave it 400g of PrimaLoft Gold Insulation, still equipped with waterproof-breathable GORE-TEX lining. These might just be the best-looking HOKA boots around.
Norse Projects Jens Gore-Tex Infinium 2.0
If you’re looking to give the outdoorsman in your life a really nice top, look no further than Norse Projects, whose form-meets-function approach to its Nordic-inspired outerwear is purpose built for the wilderness. Equipped with plenty of pockets, the latest iteration of its Jens Infinium is backed by waterproof-breathable GORE-TEX and lightweight, durable Octa Mesh fibers.
Norda Toolbox Duffel
Earlier this year, Norda — known for its stylish trail running shoes — debuted its first-ever bag. Made entirely out of Bio-Dyneema, the world’s strongest and lightest fabric, the Toolbox Duffel doesn’t just look fantastic but it can also be carried like a backpack for hiking.
