Pocket Bellows

If you’ve been reading my blog or following me for the past couple years, you know how much I LOVE this low-tech little tool. It’s the perfect way to build a cozy campfire because it allows you to direct oxygen exactly where you want it. It’s a ‘nice to have’ that quickly becomes something you can’t live without!

Sheepskin Insoles

Last year I got these to put in my daily-wear boots and they were amazing all winter long. The quality is great and they are still quite lofty this winter despite near daily wear! Highly recommend.

Shop

Luci Inflatable Solar Lantern

This solar lantern is the perfect affordable gift idea for someone who loves to go camping and backpacking. It’s lightweight, charges quickly, and illuminates an area so well. This is another gift I’ve recommended many, many times!

Outdoor Research Down Mittens

Another repeat gift guide item! A good pair of gloves are a must for any outdoor adventure and I personally love a mitten. I love that these are water-resistant and are made with compressible down to keep your hands toasty warm! I’ve used mine for years now and they basically still look brand new.
