1. This nifty camping lantern that doubles as a fan, to help make sure that their tent is as functional (and comfortable!) as possible. Both the fan and the light swivel, so they can adjust the angles to whatever best suits their setup.
2. This insulated backpack that'll make sure their drinks and snacks stay fresh and cool while they're on the trail. Reviewers say it's super sturdy and that their icepacks are still cold after a full day in the scorching sun.
3. A portable tabletop BBQ, so they can grill wherever they go. It comes with a cork lid that doubles as a trivet, so they won't scorch the surface they set it up on.
4. An insulated tumbler that'll keep their morning coffee hot into the afternoon. It'll also keep their drinks cold — reviewers even say they'll still have ice in their cup after six hours.
5. A fish-finding sonar that'll give them the scoop on where the heck those trout are hiding. It has five different settings for various types of fishing environments, so they can use it whether they're throwin' lines from the shore or on a kayak.
6. A pair of Bose Bluetooth sunglasses that are perfect for the dad who loves to cycle. These babies will let them listen to their tunes and the road (and protect their eyes, of course), so you can feel a little better about their road-side touring.
7. A Spikeball Pro set that'll spice up their next backyard BBQ. It's an active two-on-two game that requires "spiking" the ball onto the net so it ricochets toward their opponent, with a few rules that'll make it equal parts fun and challenging.
8. A fire pit that'll let them enjoy a campfire in their own backyard, without building one up like they're actually in the woods.
9. A rechargeable headlamp, so they can see where the heck they're going when they pop out of their tent for a midnight pee. Reviewers say it's wildly bright for how small it is and that it's super durable.
11. An insulated thermos, so they'll always have a hot cup of Joe to accompany them on their morning hikes. This thing is big, so they'll definitely be able to share it with their go-to hiking bud, too.
12. A portable chair, so they'll have somewhere to put their tush when it's wet outside. They're great for camping, too, so they can sit down on something with some back support to 'lax in after a long day of hiking.
13. A solar-powered charging bank that'll come in handy if they ever need to reboot their headlamp, camera, or phone. Reviewers say this baby is small, but mighty, and that it will power up multiple devices on a single charge.
14. A portable espresso maker, so they can still have their Americano even when they're off adventuring in the woods. All they'll have to do is scoop their grinds into the filter basket, pour their boiled water into the tank, and press the pump.
15. This insulated bottle and tumblers set that'll keep their summer bevies (for two!) chilled all day long, even on a sweltering afternoon at the beach.
16. An inflatable sleeping pad, because let's face it: No matter how "outdoorsy" they may be, there's nothing worse than a lousy sleep after a hard day of portaging. Reviewers say it's thick enough that they don't feel the ground when it's inflated, but small enough to comfortably tuck into their hiking pack.
17. A lensatic compass that'll help them make sure they're headed in the right direction, or get back on track if they ever get lost. Its interface glows in the dark, so they'll be able to use it easily even at night.
18. A LifeStraw that'll filter bacteria, parasites, and microplastics out of contaminated water as it travels through the straw's microfiltration membrane. It's super light and easy to pack, which makes it the perfect tool for backcountry camping.
19. A heavy-duty camping stove, if they are pro-car camping and gear weight isn't a particular issue. Reviewers say they're impressed by how sturdy it is and love the protective case it comes with, too.
20. And finally, a rain shell that packs down into its own little pocket! It'll keep them dry when the weather turns, and won't take up much space in their pack when it clears up.
Because I know too many dads like this:
