My husband is a wildland firefighter who works outside and sleeps in a tent on the job. When he isn’t at work we love camping, fishing, and hiking together as a family. As such, we have purchased and reviewed so many different brands and types of gear and gadgets that we feel expertly qualified to recommend the best products for your Father’s Day gift this year.

Father’s Day Gifts For The Hiker Or Camper
- Give Dad the gift of relaxation with this Bear Butts 2 Person Hammock. We have several of these for the backyard, camping, hiking, and festivals. These pack up small, making them perfect for on-the-go, and are comparable to Eno hammocks without the hefty price tag.
- If Dad has an interest in orienteering, keep him on course with a Suunto compass. These compasses are easy to read and fit well in a hiking pack.
- A survival knife with a flint fire starter is an excellent Father’s Day gift idea for the dad who loves to be outside. This is an excellent knife for camping and can be used to start campfires. We keep a small jar of dryer lint in our camping supplies to light campfires with this knife.
- A Jetboil is our biggest outdoor gear recommendation for dads who love to camp. We use our Jetboil to make coffee and dehydrated meals when camping.
- Thermarests are the top tier sleeping pads for tent camping. Thermarests are comfortable, easy to inflate, and are small and compact.
- For the car camping enthusiast, consider this Coleman Road Trip Grill. We love that this grill folds up compactly and fits into a bag with wheels and a handle. It’s a favorite of our car camping gear for cooking at campsites.
- A good pair of zip off, water resistant hiking pants are a must-have for the outdoorsy dad in your life. We recommend this pair from Mountain Hardware.
- Every hiker needs to take good care of their feet. Keep dad comfortable on the trail with these Merrell wool socks.
Father’s Day Gifts For The Hunter Or Fisherman
- Our favorite fishing gear recommendation are these Zacx Fish Lip Gripper Pliers. These pliers are durable and lightweight. They also don’t rust and are super easy to use.
- This Lure Making Kit from Man Crates is an excellent gift for the fisherman who has everything. This unique gift can make approximately 40 lures.
- This Duck Call Making Kit from Man Crates is a fun and unique gift for the waterfowl hunting dad.
- A good processing knife is essential for the hunter in your life. We love this 4 piece hunting knife set for it’s affordability, sharpness, and the inclusion of the gut hook and bone saw.
- If your fisherman dad doesn’t already have a collapsible fish net, we highly recommend this one. The fold up design makes this net perfect for kayak fishing.
- Polarized sunglasses are a must have for being out on the water. This pair by HUK is one of our favorites.
- Consider this universal gun cleaning kit for the hunting dad. This is great for an outdoorsman with several types of hunting firearms.
