1. A 10-Tray Deluxe Dehydrator that makes packing food for a camping trip as easy as adding hot water. You can make full meals or dried fruits and nuts for a mid-hike snack. We promise you won't regret it.
2. A hammock for the person who just wants to relax under the rustling trees in a backyard, forest, or any other wooded area. It's lightweight so it'll prevent you from sweating unnecessarily and it's super packable and easy to set up, which is always a plus.
3. A Hydro Flask bottle because hydration is key. It will keep your water cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12, making it perfect for any outdoor activities you have planned.
4. A sleeping bag so you can sleep comfortably all summer long. It's insulated enough to keep you warm during chilly nights and breathable enough that you won't wake up in a total sweat.
5. A four-burner gas griddle that'll make grilling out with family and friends a truly memorable experience. If you've been looking to replace your rusty old grill, this is a huge upgrade that will deliver incredible meals every time.
6. A pair of Keen whisper sandals for the person who's a total water bug. It's ideal for swimming, but can also be used for short hikes or walks.
7. A short-sleeve T-shirt because what says summer more than a breezy top? It's the perfect cut to provide coverage without clinging to your skin and will definitely provide some much-needed ventilation whenever it's hot outside.
8. A Yeti Rambler so your little one can get the absolute most out of their outdoors experience. If you're away from home, neither you nor your child have to sacrifice access to cold water, this to-go Yeti is great for all summer activities — fishing, camping, boating — you name it.
9. A Keen hiking shoe that is super lightweight and perfect for all-terrain. They're truly a universal shoe and you really can't go wrong with Keen.
10. An exercise skirt for the person who likes to look cute while they exercise. It's super stretchy and makes for the perfect outfit while running, dancing, hiking, cycling, or even just walking around the neighborhood.
11. A big lounge chair with a side table and cup holder because it's never a bad time to invest in your physical health. Sitting on the ground or or even on big rocks can really take a toll on your body. By adding a chair to your camping setup, you'll offer your body some much-needed respite.
12. A North Face hat so you won't get a weird neck tan line. It's perfect for those who aren't the best at applying sunscreen and will keep you from getting a wicked burn that tends to ruin perfect summer days.
13. A Carhartt sweatshirt that is as comfortable as it is cute. It has the classic Carhartt logo and will make for a perfect comforting layer on any hike or overnight camping trip.
14. A backpack for the person who appreciates super-high-quality products. If you're looking for a pack you'll have forever, look no further than Cabela's.
15. A four-person tent because it's arguably the most important piece of gear you can buy. It's perfect for breezy nights and will keep you protected no matter what else the weather has in store.
16. A rain jacket so you can be prepared for inclement weather. This is even handy to keep around for next summer. Just because it'll be mostly sunny doesn't mean you won't experience a rain shower from time to time. Best to be ready for anything!
17. A pair of Under Armour shorts that will make your summer adventures much less sweaty next year. It's the perfect addition to any summer activity since they're breathable enough for any adventure.
18. A sleeping mat for the person who loves to camp, but still appreciates a quality night of sleep. It's the perfect way to elevate your tent set up and you won't regret the investment when your back isn't killing you post-backpacking trip.
19. A collapsible dog bowl because sometimes the best items are the most essential ones. Your dog will definitely need a bowl or two for any outdoor adventure you take them on, so why not make it a super-beloved one?
20. A cast iron skillet so you can make the absolute most of your camping experience. It's a great way to whip up delicious meals all while enjoying all the outdoors has to offer.
