Top 5 Camping Gifts For The Great Outdoors
1) Bonfire Steel Fire Pit

The age-old tradition of sitting around a fire just got an upgrade. This sleek stainless steel bonfire pit is durable enough to last a lifetime. Its double-chamber build circulates preheated oxygen to fuel the flame, burning easily and with less smoke. Its minimalist design is as timeless as the campfire ritual itself.
2) Ground Screw

This Made in the USA spiral ground anchor screws into soil to secure lines in a simple, easy-to-use design. It doesn’t take a lot of pressure to drill it into the ground. To anchor in firm soils, insert the drive handle for added leverage. It’s a great solution for tents, tarps, or quick tie-downs that can handle up to 650 pounds.
3) Tie Down Straps - Set of Two

Tackle many jobs—from the simple to the tough—with a heavy duty tie down strap built to handle up to 110 pounds of wrapping and securing. There are different lengths to suit your task, and the quick-grab end lets you connect multiple straps. Industrial-grade webbing is durable and flexible (and made in part from recycled plastic bottles) and hook and loop fasteners let you tie down and secure your stuff in one easy step.
