Claycomb: A Christmas list for the outdoorsman
If you are holiday shopping for an outdoors person and don’t know what to buy, Santa’s little helper is here to help you out. The good news is, outdoorsmen love their gear and gizmos, BUT they are very specific in what they want. But with a little research you can blow their socks off. I’ve gotten to test a lot of outdoor gear this year and will list out some of the new items that have caught my eye as well as a few old tried and true items. Let’s get started.
CAMPINGSea to Summit tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad and pillow. All were top quality and worked great. Tent is super nice, pad uses the bag to inflate it and the compactible pillow is awesome.
