The busiest shopping day of the year is just around the corner. Happy shoppers will start queuing at retailer stores and shopping centers. Before you join the line, here are some gift considerations that you might want to put in mind when choosing for a gift for your hiking buddy.

1. Headlamps
Hikers who love to go out hiking early mornings or early evening should have a headlight with them. Gift them with one that is comfortable and lightweight. Look for headlamps that are at least 300 lumens with multiple modes.

2. Fire starters
Hiking and camping on backcountry are never complete without a bonfire. And the best way to build a campfire is with a fire starter. Buy a fire tool that is easy to use and has a robust rod. Surviveware offers a functional and economical fire tool that’s easy to use and lasts longer than normal fire starters. It also comes with a whistle and paracord that can be used during critical situations.

3. Universal Camera Lens Kit
If your friend or hiking buddy loves using their smartphone cameras to take pictures, then this is the best gift that you can give them. Buy your friend with a compact and convenient lens kit that has a macro and wide angle lens. These lenses are compatible with the majority of smartphones in the market.

4. Lightweight First Aid Kit
Hikers and campers experience many types of injuries. From minor cuts and bruises to broken bones and dislocated joints, name it, they have experienced it. Therefore, one of the smartest and reliable gifts that you can give is a first aid kit. Get them a Surviveware’s Small First Aid Kit. It’s light and compact, lightweight, and packs a lot of punch in it. It also comes in a large first aid kit that can be used at home or in the office.

5. Multipurpose Tool
Multipurpose tools are classic hiking “must-haves” for any hikers. It’s light, useful, and works well for both trail and home use. It’s also a nice gift that any hiking enthusiasts can have. There are available heavy-duty, multipurpose tools available in the market that you can choose from. Just make sure to scout for a device that will fit the personality of your friend as well as your budget.

6. Water Purification Tablets
Aside from removing the hygiene comforts, hiking at a time, also remove the availability of potable drinking water. Therefore, water treatment tabs are excellent gifts for hikers who want to be assured that they have a back-up when a water filter is not available.

7. Hammock
Have a friend who’s on the go? Or a camping family member who loves to unwind at the end of the day? Why not give them a hammock. It’s a lovely gift that can take relaxation to the next level. There are also high-quality hammocks available in adventure gear stores. Look for one that’s ultralight and durable for extended use.
