Gifts for Hikers

If you have a loved one, who is a hiker, a hiking gift can really show them that you care.
So I thought I would write down some great gift ideas for hikers.

Swiss Gear Hiking Pole: Now, every hiker needs a good walking stick and this is one of the best. I have found that it reduces the strain on my knees and ankles. Also, I have less falls when I hike with it. There are fancy walking sticks out there with all kinds of gadgets, but if you are looking for a cheap reliable gift, look no further.

Headlamp: What people from cities and towns don't understand, is just how dark it gets out there. At night there is nothing but endless black. Normal torches are too heavy and only leaves one hand free. Ever try to pitch a tent at night with one hand? That dog just won't hunt.
The headlamp is a life saver for any hiker and an excellent gift.

Coleman Survival Kit: Hiking is generally safe, but it is possible to pick up some minor scrapes or get lost. If things go wrong, this emergency kit can help you out. It has bandages, antiseptic pads, scissors, emergency blanket, emergency poncho, drinking water tablets, waterproof matches and glow sticks.

Victorinox Swiss Army, Swiss Champ Pocket Knife: There are many types of Swiss army knives for sale, but this is the one that made them all popular. The original and best Swiss army knife. As all hikers know, you have to carry everything with you. Because this knife has so many features in such a small package, it is ideal for hikers.

Garmin eTrex Vista CX Color Handheld GPS: Garmin is the market leader in GPS technology and they brought out the eTrex line especially for hikers and campers. It is used with one hand and runs for 20 hours on 2 AA batteries. You will be able to download maps specific to your area and install it on your eTrex.
This is the best premium gift for hikers and campers.
