It can be hard to find a good gift for a backpacker. We worked hard to find affordable gifts that any backpacker would like to get.
Blaze Orange Pro-Tec Powder Paint – $8
Pro-Tec powder paint is a great durable paint that makes things super visible. The most common application is to apply the paint to tent stakes.
Pro-Tec paint is commonly available at fish and tackle stores and can be purchased online.

The Bic Mini lighter is one of the lightest lighters available. One lighter can easily last an entire 6-month thru hike.
