Get an entire pride of mythical Ligers by WXtex ($20) to hold up and protect your tent or tarp. These unique tent stakes are made of 50D DRS nylon and 7000 series aluminum. They only weigh 1.5 ounces each so its easy to stow in your pack.
Eat, drink, and be merry on your next camping trip with this GSI Outdoor Stainless-Steel Nesting Wine Glass ($13). This wine glass offers compact storage by unscrewing the plastic base and snapping it into the rim. It holds 10 fl. ounces of your favorite beverage and weighs only 4.7 ounces. Now, the real decision is if you need a bottle of red and white!
A new twist to brightening up your campsite is this Snow Peak Hozuki LED Lantern ($90). This unique and versatile lantern offers three brightness settings and and runs on 4 AA batteries for 40 hours of operation on low.
The outside shade of the lantern is made from durable silicone rubber and the integrated hook allows the lantern to be hung for added use.
A neat feature of the lantern is its “candle mode” which allows the LED to respond to sound or wind with flickering light.
Perfect for the RV, traveling, or even car camping, the Mainstreet Classics Table Top Air Powered Hockey Table ($35) would make an awesome stocking stuffer this holiday season. It’s small, lightweight, and runs on 8 AA batteries. Thanks to our friends at Makais.com we were able to get our hands on one to review it.
When we first received this item, we were definitely skeptical to whether it could perform as well as a real full size version. The table measured a mere 22″ x 12″ x 4.25″ so it was definitely small enough to fit on most tables or be thrown into the trunk of your car.
After opening the box, we discovered that the table included two pushers, two pucks, as well as parts and screws to build the goals. You definitely need a Philips head screwdriver to complete the table and we were slightly disappointed that it didn’t come with the 8 AA batteries needed to start playing right away.
Dress up your camping experience with the ENO Twilight LED String Lights ($20). These portable LED lights offer a 113 inch length and 23 LEDs to make your tent, hammock, or campsite festive and distinct.
The lights easily store inside an included pouch and can run for 300 hours on 2 AA batteries.
This Play Visions Zoo Lights Carabiner ($10) is a fun little light that’s perfect to make any camping trip special for those young or young at heart.
The mouths open up by pressing the button on the animal’s back, revealing a bright, colorful LED light.
Each little animal has a grippy rubberized finish and spring loaded tail clip to easily attach the light to backpacks, belt loops, and key rings.
There’s multiple animals available including lizards, toucans, and frogs.
Don’t be fooled by the celebrity name that’s usually associated with less then stellar products. While the Gerber Bear Grylls Survival Series Ultimate Knife ($80) does have a large orange “BG” emblazoned on its handle, it also seems to have a ton of other useful features.
This 4.75 inch serrated knife offers a full tang, stainless steel construction and ergonomic rubber grip handle. The base of the handle features a stainless steel pommel that can be used for hammering or pounding.
The attached lanyard has a loud emergency whistle built in and the included military-grade nylon sheath comes with both fire starter and diamond blade sharpener.
All in all, a pretty feature-rich knife that would be ideal for survival, hunting, and camping situations.
You don’t need to be a monkey to think that this Banana Guard ($6) is a pretty cool solution to protect your favorite yellow fruit. It should fit most regular sized bananas and keep them from getting bruised. It’s perfect for backpacking, biking, school, or anywhere you’d like to go. As a bonus, there’s a popsicle slot to make frozen banana pops in the summer.
