If he hikes, buy him a nice Thermarest self-inflating sleeping pad. Even if he already has one, he'll eventually need another, or he can alternate to share wear and tear between the two. It's the one thing just about every hiker wants or can use.
If he fishes, get him a gift card to Bass Pro, Cabela's, Tackle Warehouse, Simms/Orvis, etc. If you don't fish yourself, then you have no way of knowing what he'll want.
If he hunts, same deal. Get him a gift card.
I mean there are gifts any fisherman or hunter would appreciate, but they're expensive, and I know from long experience that a woman won't buy expensive gifts for a man unless she's a cougar sugar mama. So those are pretty much off the table.
Field Notes has a set of pocket notebooks with art inspired by national parks on the covers. I really liked them and got the set but it's a shame that they aren't waterproof, as I likely won't actually bring them with me outdoors.
In that vein, rite in the rain notebooks are always welcome and he WILL find a use for one. Same goes for fixed blade knives.
Every holiday season, on outdoors forums and message boards across the internet, women ask the same question. The parameters are always the same:
>don't know shit about outdoorsmanship >can't be bothered to find out anything about it, what he's got, how it works, what he needs, etc. >y'all go outside, what should I get him? >no no not that, it has to be cheap >gift card? no that's not thoughtful, it has to be thoughtful >even though I've put absolutely no thought into this >and my budget is $50
Let's see, I bought my sister and my Mom $400 each worth of shit this year, $300 spent on my niece, around $250ish each for two cousins who will be coming to Mom's this year, and ~$1,000 on my woman. I work for a living, too, though I'm definitely not below the poverty line. I have to save up and make sacrifices and choices.
Ah well, every outdoorsman in modern history has experienced the same thing... and then they get mad when you buy a $300 reel. Incredible.
No point, she's already getting the Write in the Rain notepad, if "she" is even a she/even exists.
A good result, all told. When he receives his el cheapo thoughtless gift, he'll know she doesn't really give a shit what he thinks or wants, and can choose whether that's a situation he finds acceptable in exchange for getting his peepee wet (a choice he may already have made).
That's not how gift giving works.
If he's into a certain activity and you aren't, then he knows way more about it than you do. Chances are that anything you buy will be a poor choice from his perspective.
Gifting PrepHole stuff is a good idea if he is an interested beginner and you're the experienced one. Then you can make good desicions and he will be happy about the gift. The other way around is just a recipe for disappointment.
Imagine not knowing what to give as a gift to your boyfriend because you don't know enough about him, but thinking that strangers on PrepHole will. If you talked with him enough you would know what to give him.
The literal definition of SOULLESS.
If you’re in the states book them a weekend at your nearest national park.
He needs your love, whatever you give your bf, he will be happy

Pocket bellows. Cheap and the one thing he'll use more than anything if he's somewhere that won't get b***hy about fires.
