Top 5 Camping Gifts For The Great Outdoors
1) All-Natural Insect Repellent

Keep mosquitoes and other pests at bay with organic insect repellent. It’s non-toxic and made with 15 natural oils like citronella, lemongrass, and castor, along with other natural ingredients to ward off insects without any DEET, parabens, or harsh chemicals. Spray it on before you head outside. It helps soothe bites and stings, too. Made in the USA.
2) Stainless Steel Camping Cups

These stainless steel camping cups are a great addition to your camp kitchen and a wonderful companion for any outdoor activity. These cups are double-walled for insulation and are stackable to easily pack and carry.
3) Murphy's Naturals Insect Repellent & Relief Balm

Murphy's Naturals: Murphy's Naturals Mosquito Repellent Balm - 2.0 oz
4) Portable Campfire - 6 Pack

Enjoy the magic of a campfire in a tidy, transportable package. Incredibly easy, this quick-light log provides a self-contained flame that lasts for up to two hours. All the fun of an outdoor flame without the risk or commitment of a full campfire.
5) KindleQuick Log Splitter

The KABIN KindleQuick Kindling Splitter is the easiest and most effective way to make—and carry—your own kindling from regular firewood. Kindling is a key component for lighting fires in fire pits, chimneys, and fireplaces, but is too thin to cut with an axe and can be tough to find and expensive to buy. Instead, cut it yourself with the KindleQuick.
