1. A knot tying tool so you don't have to struggle to get that perfect bait knot when fishing. And you can use this handy tool to help tie knots on a regular basis which is never a bad thing.
2. A pocket-sized multi-tool that is simply necessary for every outdoors person. This has scissors, a knife, a bottle opener, a nail file, and pliers. It's a toolbox in your pocket!
3. A wood splitter because you never want to be stuck outside without any firewood. This two-in-one tool helps you split and break firewood so you can stay warm outdoors.
4. A rain defender for people who want to stay dry but not be bogged down by a heavy coat while they're outside. This lightweight jacket will keep you dry if the weather suddenly turns but still be comfy if it stays warm.
5. A camp shovel that's compact so you can carry it everywhere with you. You never know when you're going to need to dig a hole in the forest.
6. A waterproof license holder to keep your valuables safe when you're out on the water this summer. This handy package attaches easily to your bag so you don't have to worry about losing it or ruining the important info inside.
7. An electric snow shovel so you can hate shoveling snow a little bit less. Sure, we're moving into summer but might as well prepare for next winter since we know you spent this one complaining about shoveling snow.
8. A life jacket that you really should always have on you whenever you're in the water. This compact life jacket is easily inflatable so you can be safe on the water without lugging around a massive life jacket.
9. A water filter in case you find yourself in a situation without potable water. This handy tool will pump all those little things you *don't* want to ingest out of dirty water so you can stay hydrated.
10. An insect repellent that's a necessary addition to any outdoor enthusiast's supplies because the last thing you want to be worrying about when you're taking in mother nature, is all the little bugs she sends your way to drive you out of her.
11. A set of fire sticks because starting fires really doesn't need to be that hard. Sure, you could rub two sticks together and hope that the friction will start a flame or, you could pack these babies and a lighter, and have a fire in minutes.
12. A lantern to help light your way when the sun goes down. Solves that pesky problem of no lighting in the forest.
13. A survival blanket that we sincerely hope you never have to use but is a good thing to have on hand in case you do need it. It could also just be used as a blanket and not in life-or-death situations.
14. A set of heated mittens because having cold fingers is genuinely a terrible feeling. This way you can keep your hands out of your pockets but still keep them warm in cold temperatures.
15. A handheld fan for those days when the sun is your enemy. This device will keep you cool and windblown all day long. Def still wear sunscreen though.
16. A pop-up garbage can so you can have a place to toss your trash that isn't the forest floor. Also, it stakes to the ground so the wind won't blow it over and little creatures won't be able to get into it.
17. A stormproof match kit that will keep your fire essentials safe from getting wet and is *way* more powerful than just regular old matches.
18. A knife sharpener because you don't want to be stuck outside with a dull knife. This compact, easily transferable tool can be used to sharpen hunting knives, fishing knives, kitchen knives, and so much more.
19. A walking stick with a compass so you don't even have to worry about getting lost and having no cell service. You literally have a compass attached to you.
20. And a survival kit because you never know what's going to happen when you're in nature and it's best to be as prepared as possible. Happy trails!
