Deer hunting season is winding down, and the holidays are heating up! If you haven’t already started, it is time to start thinking about shopping for the best gifts for the busy people on your list. This year give them gifts that are not only incredibly useful, but will be exciting to unwrap with our Christmas gift guide for outdoorsy folks.
Christmas Gift Guide – HybridLight Campfire Kit
HybridLight offers free shipping to the 48 continental states. The HybridLight Campfire Kit contains four rugged, multi-functional lights and a Micro USB cord. Power can be transferred from one product to another as needed. A nice feature is that the flashlight and lanterns can also charge cellphones. The packing of this kit is remarkable. It arrived snug and safe, tucked into a beautifully crafted black box with a magnetic closure. The lights were charged and clicked right on, providing an intensely bright beam. The lights were a lifesaver one November evening after a member of our hunting party shot a big 8-point buck at 4:40pm just a 1/2 hour before sunset. Not only was night falling quickly – making tracking difficult – but it was a remote area of wilderness and his cell phone battery was about to die. The Atlas FIRE Camping Lantern became a cell phone charger enabling him to communicate with the rest of his party and recruit help for tracking and dragging. The Journey 300 Flashlight and Navigation Headlamp illuminated a wide, bright path through the thick Adirondack Mountain darkness while the hunters took care of the harvest.

The Atlas FIRE Camping Lantern really is bright enough to replace the glow of a campfire. It is also lightweight enough to easily bring along in a pack. This could come in handy in the backwoods on a variety of adventures, such as after a long day of hiking when the idea of having to start a fire feels too grueling.

I tried this set out in the cold, blustery November conditions of the Adirondack Mountains and it did not disappoint! It kept me toasty and comfortable. One of my frequent frustrations with some hunting apparel is that it is too loud. The DSG apparel was quiet, and they were actually cut to fit a woman’s curves the way clothes should. I can’t say enough good things about DSG. I felt like no stone was left unturned and every pain point was addressed. I was authentically impressed.
