5 Best Gifts to Give a Hunter or Birder for Fathers Day

Nothing. I'm fine.

Every outdoorsman needs a multitool. It's so important that many men won't even leave the house without one.

From Leatherman to Gerber, there are a lot of brands and functionality to sort through when buying. So, we're just going to give a quick rule of thumb to follow.

These tools are so important that you shouldn't even bother looking for inexpensive 'filler' gifts. It will be a complete waste of money and just get tossed in a bucket or drawer. 

Every outdoorsman needs a flashlight and most need a headlamp too.

The fact is, when in the field we usually have our hands full. Could be a rifle and a map, or a gps and a pair of binoculars.

Whatever it is, a headlamp helps us illuminate the area while keeping our hands free.

Alright, it sounds weird but your feet are the most important part of your body when you're out in the field.

Most people are buying cheap socks at Walmart, but that is the last thing you want on your feet when in the field. Instead, you should have high quality performance socks.

Our favorites are the Under Armor Heatgear socks, which are perfect for the summer and as father's day presents.

Also, it depends what kind of boots your outdoorsman is wearing, but generally crew socks are a little better than ankle socks because it protects the leg from chaffing against the boot. 

There is literally nothing more important than staying hydrated. That's why we love the CamelBak hydrating packs.

They come in all colors from reflective orange to tactical black. But, most importantly, they have an insulated reservoir for water and a shoulder carried tube for drinking.

Taking a sip of water requires no more effort than just drinking from a straw. Your outdoorsman will stay hydrated while hiking, hunting, or just hanging around the woods.

We also love this model because it has extra pouches and can serve as a good daypack.

Obviously, the most important thing to get him on Father's Day is a new pair of binoculars.

The perfect all-around pair at a reasonable father's day budget would be the Vortex Diamondback binoculars.

You're going to want to get the 10x42 or 8x42 most likely, as they are the most versatile and most likely to fit his needs.
