Top 5 Camping Gifts For The Great Outdoors
1) Mosquito & Flying Insect Trapping Light
The Mosquito & Flying Insect Trapping Light uses powerful elimination technology to remove mosquitos and flying insects. Mosquitos are attracted to the UV LED light before the fan system sucks them into the removable base, providing an area for easy clean up after use. Designed with a foldaway handle and hook for convenient hanging and carrying.
2) Personal Cooling System Backpack
ExtremeMist® PCS: Personal Cooling System Backpack - Large
3) Collapsible LED Lantern - Set of 2
This set of adventure-ready collapsible LED lanterns is built-tough and backed by a lifetime guarantee. Each lantern goes button-free; just pull the handles to shine 30 ultra-bright LEDs that can last up to 12 hours of 360-degree brightness. Made with military-grade materials, the water-resistant, shock-proof lanterns are durable but lightweight and collapse down for easy portability.
4) Moki Vehicle Rooftop Doorstep
The Moki vehicle rooftop doorstep lets you reach the top of your car in a safer way. It’s a step-up that quickly attaches to your vehicle's door latch. The aluminum step has space for both feet and treads for extra stability. Use it to access a roof rack or for easier car cleaning, and store it in the glove compartment when you’re done.
5) Tick Removal Tool
This proper tick removal tool takes care of pesky critters the right way. It’s stainless steel and is dual-ended with sharp, thin-tipped tweezers to grab small ticks and a slotted scoop for larger or engorged ones. Designed by a tick expert to comply with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines.
