Claycomb: A Christmas list for the Outdoorsman
Bass Pro Shop used to have me write five Christmas List articles yearly which brings up, it’s time to start Christmas shopping. Maybe you’re getting sweet on an outdoorsman, or maybe you’ve been married to one for 40 years and still don’t have a clue what to buy them. Don’t worry, 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.

There's nothing worse than running out of water mid-hike, but with the Sawyer Mini Water Filtration System, you can make any fresh water ready to drink in minutes. It filters out everything from sediment to bacteria from the water, and can be a real lifesaver in a pinch.
