Even city slickers will go wild for this outdoor gear

By Promila Shastri February 21, 2022

Escaping city life for the great outdoors is easier than ever, thanks to innovative outdoor gear that can make a walk on the wild side an exciting experience even for die-hard urbanites. Nothing ruins a jaunt into the country like being uncomfortable and unprepared for the rigors of a hike, bike ride, or camping trip—so being properly equipped with appropriate outdoor gear can be the difference between an inspiring, invigorating reprieve, and a tiresome, frustrating one.

The innovative tools and equipment we’ve selected here are examples of how a few smartly chosen outdoor products are well worth investing in, even if they’re only going to be used a few times a year. Whether planning on a single summer camping trip or regular weekend escapes, the key to gearing up for an adventure, is, well, the right gear.

Moving our bodies, breathing fresh air, and slowing down to take in the wonders of the natural world are, we know, enormously beneficial to both body and mind. Thankfully, embarking on a new outdoor regimen doesn’t have to be a massive (or expensive) undertaking. By taking advantage of new and innovative tools and products, specifically designed to make outdoor adventuring more accessible, leaving the city for greener terrain may very well have the power to entirely change the landscape of a life.

If you love someone who loves the outdoors, it makes sense when shopping for a gift that you incorporate their love of nature. If they spend a lot of time camping, hiking, or getting lost outdoors, there are items they'll need and others that would just be fun to have. We've tracked down a few of each to give you some gift ideas when the next holiday arrives (or just because), so you can wow them with something new to take on their next adventure. If that someone is you, don't hesitate to splurge on yourself, too.

We love all of these items because they mix practicality with fun for any trip outdoors. They are all portable and won't take up too much space in your car or backpack, depending on how far you are heading. It's important to stay dry and safe in the outdoors while managing to squeeze in some fun while you're away from the day-to-day of life. Happy adventuring!
