As we approach Christmas and start to scrabble for some last minute gifts, I decided to compile a list of my five favorite camping gear stocking stuffers. I want you to know that finding camping equipment small enough to fit into a stocking isn’t that easy!
1) Garmin GPS devices. Garmin is one of the biggest manufactures of GPS devices. These devices are great for campers because they are compact and provide easy directions to the campgrounds. Because some models are handheld, these are also great for taking on hikes. The Garmin GPS devices cost between $100.00 and $600.00.
2) Streamlight Stinger flashlight. Streamlight flashlights are highly regarded as the best flashlight in almost all camping gear reviews. The Stinger flashlight is a great compact rechargeable flashlight. The Stinger has 125 lumens and is about 6” long. The Streamlight Stinger flashlight costs about $75.00.
3) Casio Pathfinder hunting timer watch. This Casio watch features five alarms, digital display, and is backlit for easy reading. The Pathfinder watch is water resistant to 100 meters. The Casio Pathfinder watch costs about $49.99.
4) 5.11 Tactical Gear socks. While getting socks for Christmas might be the most exciting gift, they can sure safe your feet on hikes! 5.11 Tactical Gear started out making the socks for police officers since they are on their feet so much. Since then, they have become popular by just about everyone, including campers. They socks are constructed with multiple zones of compression and fabric blends for increased blood circulation, heat reduction, and moisture wicking. 5.11 Tactical Gear socks can be found at some camping gear stores and all police equipment stores. The 5.11 Tactical Gear socks cost between $9.99 and $19.99.
5) You can never go wrong with a gift card to your favorite camping gear store like REI or Cabelas. Gift cards allow the person to pick out their favorite camping equipment without the hassle of having to return a gift.
I hope this list gives you some more ideas for camping equipment stocking stuffers! Have a great holiday!
