Xmas Gift Ideas

[IAhunter12]

Looking for ideas for my brother in law. It will be both of ours first time backpack/high country hunting this next year. I'm wondering what are some things that you guys would give or like to receive that would be used on a hunt. Supposed to keep it around $50. Thanks!

A stove fits the budget. I have an MSR micro rocket and Soto amicus that I like. Everybody love socks for Christmas, maybe some darn toughs. Black diamond headlamp. Storm model specifically. Klymit sleeping mat. Those are the 50ish dollar items I can think of in my pack.

+1 for the MSR Pocket Rocket.

Thermal Rest Z Seat, very useful comfort item.

Bino Harness, anker portable battery pack, decent set of boot insoles.

A Primus Micron lantern is a nice thing to have in that price range.

+1 on a good pair of wool socks. If you’re going after elk, a hand full of different reeds. A SteriPEN would also put you near that $50 mark.

I agree on the stove or a nice headlamp.

How about a life straw bottle?

 

[ShakeDown]

Good set of game bags.

Darn Tough socks, steripen, havalon/outdooredge, sea to summit pillow, wool gloves, onx premium(would probably give him a gift card and get the elite for all states), there's also a decent pair of Costco Trekking Poles that is around that price point.

An empty Aquafina (or similar) bottle filled with a $49 bottle of bourbon.

 

[Jskaanland]

How about a cotton rokslide hoodie?

A set of ultralight pullouts would be a good option. Something I don't think I would have bought but I'm really glad I got them as a gift. The set of 4 runs 45 bucks plus shipping.

Thanks for the ideas guys!

 

[mnhoundman]

Sleeping pad, the klymit static v is about in that price range too. I like mine!

 

[BenFrank]

The sea to summit pillow would make a good gift. It's something that first timers might not think much about but will make a big difference in getting a goods nights sleep.

 

[camelcluch]

Costco trekking poles.

 

[bluetick78]

TAG game bags, Outdoor Edge or Havalon knife, Darn Tough socks, merino wool t-shirt, SuperFeet insoles, gift certificate for Heathers Choice meals.

 

[jrc645]

Headlamp or tyto knife

 

[Gunnersdad49]

steripen, good socks, inflatable pillow, good book, ON-X maps, gift card, Tyto or Havalon (or a box of 100 blades),

 

[Chesapeake]

A long handle spoon for mountain house meals makes a good stocking stuffer.
100 feet of 550 cord.
Synthetic game bags.
