Cheap Hiking Gift Ideas

Mid Priced Hiking Gift ideas

  • Lifestraw Flex filter – Better than Sawyer filters? I recently changed to this filter.  A great gift for the backcountry.
  • Amazon Kindle – Small, lightweight, exceptional battery life and the ability to store 1000s of books.
  • Audible Audio Book Gift membership – There is nothing better than listening Audiobooks while out on the trail or late at night in the tent. Listen to all the great stories about long distance hiking trips such as the Lord of the Rings and even better all the Game of Thrones Books. Spoiler alert – the Game of Thrones Audiobooks are even better than the TV shows.
  • Petzl Actik Core 450 – The headlamp has adjustable light intensity setting depending on how bright you want the light. Super bright for trail running, medium light for hiking at night or midnight bathroom excursions outside the tent and a low light for inside the tent when a bright light might annoy fellow hikers.
  • Altra Lone Peak – Super comfortable trail running shoe that are more at home as a light weight trail hiking shoe.
  • Vasque Breeze 3 – Possibly the best waterproof hiking shoe on the market. Very popular on the Appalachian Trail
  • Merrell Moab Ventilator– A favourite non waterproof, very breathable hiking shoe. Very popular on the Pacific Crest Trail.
  • Outdoor Research Helium 2 Rain Jacket – My go to rain jacket for the last 5 years. With over 7000 miles of hiking with this jacket it is reaching the end of it’s life and now in need of replacing.
  • External battery Anker –  Stay connected and fully charged in the backcountry with this external; battery. Use it to charge Phones, GPS, GoPros, cameras and more.
