If the hunter or huntress you’re thinking of ventures into National forest or public lands where there are no restrooms available but camping is permitted, then they’ll need a toilet system that’s both portable and sanitary. Digging a pit latrine out in the field is no fun, and oftentimes it’s against the rules. Owning a portable camping toilet is an easy solution to this predicament that is fortunately quite affordable.
This option is nothing fancy, it’s essentially just a five-gallon bucket fitted with a specially fitted toilet seat. This at least gives you a place to rest your bottom while relieving yourself and makes packing out your waste as easy as possible – especially if you pair this toilet with Reliance Product’s Double Doodie Waste Bags.
If you like the idea of gifting a camp-toilet but figure the hunter you have in mind likely has a five-gallon bucket already laying around, you can purchase just the snap-on toilet seat here.

Here’s a failsafe go-to gift for your favorite hunter that is both practical and fun without breaking the bank.
What you see is what you get with the United By Blue 22 Ounce Water Bottle, it’s a simple stainless steel vessel with a vacuum-sealed lid.

In terms of insulation, this option is good but not great – it’s included here for its awesome aesthetic more so than its function as a high-performance insulator (check out our top list of thermoses for some more impressive options in this realm).

Having a keen lay of the land is, of course, a huge part of hunting. Spotting groups of birds when shooting waterfowl, surveying the landscape when pursuing big game and identifying species from afar all requires a nice pair of binoculars.

I find the coolest (and most practical) feature of these binoculars to be the internal rangefinder and compass – it allows one to accurately determine distance, size and direction of objects from a long way out. No doubt a righteous tool for any style hunter.
All in all, this is a killer pair of binoculars at a very reasonable cost to own for a variety of hunting applications.
