Long ago — like a couple-million years — man started outside. We had to learn how to make shelters for ourselves. Luckily the tools we have today are much more advanced than the ones those early humans had. And while technology is fun and useful, there’s nothing like simplifying things when heading into the wilderness. This is something dads have always understood, so for this Father’s Day, get your own pops some of the best outdoor gear to aid him on his next adventure.
The James Brand The Anzick Knife
Camp cooking can be a blast but you’re not going to want to bring your favorite kitchen knives on your next camping trip. They can succumb to corrosion, swelling, and damage, both cosmetically and structurally. That’s why the James Brand collaborated with SITKA GEAR on the Anzick, a chef’s knife made for the outdoors. Built with a high-carbon CPM MagnaCut blade for incredible corrosion resistance, the 8-inch Anzick still performs with the function of the best kitchen blades. Made in the USA, it also sports a two-tone G10 handle and weighs just 7.4oz.
Gerber Fire Starter
Gerber’s Fire Starter is the Father’s Day equivalent of a stocking stuffer. It’s a fantastic value and can fit in as an added bonus to whatever else you get Dad this year. Waterproof at IPX4, the ferro rod and striker capsule can also house a bit of tinder. Plus, the unit comes with a 100-decibel emergency whistle.
Klymit Luxe Pillow
Chances are, Dad could use a good inflatable pillow for camping. And honestly, there are few better than Klymit’s Luxe Pillow, a plush diamond-quilted option designed to keep your head in place.
