Father’s Day Outdoor Gift Ideas

June 16th is a day that we recognize all dads. Dads handing down their wisdom and practical knowledge is what helped make many of us successful in our lives. They fuel our sense of adventure, tell us when to dust it off, and when we need to stand tall on that hill

They are the complementary of mothers in our lives and balance us to be well-rounded and adaptable people. So, cheers to the dads out there who have inspired adventures and taught us fishing, hunting, and camping. So here are 10 gifts that you can get your dad to show your appreciation for all the lessons.

1.KastKing SteelStream 6pc Fishing Tool Kit 

The Kastking Steel Stream comes with 6 essential tools for fishermen; a fish grip, 7” Fillet knife, 7” fishing pliers, braid scissors, and two lanyards to secure them to your life vest or tackle box. Each tool has a comfortable and secure rubber grip.

2.Cheeky Fishing Fly Fishing Gear

Celebrate your dad by upgrading his fly-fishing gear! Cheeky Fishing currently has a Grads and Dad sale going on through the 16th. Reels, Line, Swag and more are 40% off! Including their new Spray Reel. Click here to check out my review.  

3.Booms Fishing V05 Fly Fishing Rod Holder

Even the Cheeky’s Spray reel is fully sealed salt, sand, rocks can really put some wear and tear on your gear. The V05 Fly Fishing Rod holder attaches to your belt. An extra hand while on the water is always useful.

4.Best Dad Bullet Thermos

Something to do with coffee has to be on this list. Coffee is an essential part of anyone’s diet. This is fully scientifically verified. All joking aside though if your dad is a coffee drinker then a thermos like the best dad bullet thermos. Company “free” coffee is never as good as what can be brewed at home. And 170oz of it is just enough for the day.

5.Morakniv Carbon Steel Fixed Blade Bushcraft Survival Knife

The Morakniv Bushcraft Survival Knife is a tough and durable knife I have owned for years. It is extremely durable and functional and would be great to add to your dad's outdoor gear. You can check out my full review here.

6.Jetboil Flash: Camping and Backpacking Stove System.

I think this is one of the most efficient and packable camp stove systems on the market right now. I will boil water in 30 seconds or less, it packs down into itself and has some accessories you can get like a French Press for coffee. It isn’t the lightest backpacking stove you can find out there. It makes up for that because of the versatility of the platform. The Pot Support attachment is the most useful attachment I have and it packs down and will fit in Jetboil.

7.Toaks Titanium 1100ml Pot with Pan

My camp cook gear consists of the 1100ml pot, the 750 ml pot, the 450 ml cup, and the three-piece cutlery set. Each piece except the silverware comes with a bag. I do not think it was intended but the fact that each piece has a bag for storage when packed together means they don’t rattle in your bag. There are plenty of other things to be worrying about when spot and stalking and rattling mess kit don’t need to be one of them. This set gets 4.5 stars out of 5 from me. Your dad will be able to put them to use for many years.

8.Thermacell: Portable Mosquito Repeller

I am not sponsored by Thermacell, they are just effective at keeping bugs off of you. They make the outdoors much more comfortable when sitting for a hunt or on the bank fishing. I recommend this on the Mother's Day list and I stand by it. Check them out.

9.Fishing Shirt

Better than a tie or socks, a fishing shirt will protect your dad from the sun. I have linked a couple of options that won’t break the bank but will provide comfort and protection on and off the water.

10.Quantum Smoke Spinning Reel

I have owned a Quantum Smoke for over 2 decades. I am not known for being particularly easy on gear. The Quantum Smoke reels are tanks. Even though my model does not have a sealed drag it has never failed. I flush it after every fishing trip and never have had an issue.  This reel will not disappoint as a Father’s Day gift.
