1. A lightweight hiking daypack with 5K reviews so your dad has enough space to pack lots of snacks, extra layers, and the wilderness survival kit (he insists on bringing everywhere) on all the outdoor adventures.
2. A flint multi-tool carabiner that has six tools packed into it — a bottle opener, utility blade, screwdriver, hanging slots, a fire starter, and extra ferro rods — because every dad should have to ability to start a fire anywhere, anytime.
3. A waterproof, fold-up blanket ready to be dad's new go-to nap/picnic blanket. No more complaining about wet grass at the park!
4. A monthly Jerky Snob subscription for anyone who appreciates real jerky – because depending on anything else to fuel outdoor activities is a big *mis steak*.

16. An engraved pocket knife that just may make you the favorite child this Father's Day.

28. A Paracord key chain sure to *unravel* your dad's heart (seriously though, it unravels into very useful survival rope!).
29. A seed kit for anyone who wants their life (and their recipes) to be filled with funky vegetables — this kit comes with everything you need to grow striped tomatoes, purple carrots, red Brussels sprouts, yellow courgettes, and rainbow Swiss chard!
30. A pair of waterproof binoculars well-suited for some serious bird watching.
31. A monthly fly-fishing subscription to help you get dad something he really wants, even if you don't know a flying thing about fly fishing.

37. A personalized engraved pocket compass dad just might treasure too much to take into the woods.
38. A pair of Nike Air Zoom Terra Kiger 5 running shoes as colorful and supportive as they are easy to clean! These speak to my personal dad aesthetic andddd I am smashing that "add to cart" button right now.
39. And a pair of waterproof socks to ensure dad stays dry the next time he is up against a slippery river rock, a three-day rainy bike trip, or a jog in the rain.
40. An outdoor fish and game cleaning table with a quick-connect stainless steel faucet that should have existed back when my dad and I were getting fish guts all over the deck after a fishing trip, but alas. This table is also super handy for a convenient water-hookup at campsites or outdoor work sites!
41. And a coffee table book filled with an illustrated history of national parks for any outdoorsy dad to enjoy the wilderness and all its glory from home.
