How do you make a camping lovers gift basket?

Question

yes i want to know what goes into this basket you will be making thanks

Answer 1

What kind of camping?

For car camping: games like dominoes and cards; nice flashlights; some kind of propane powered gadget; other gadgets, like those hot sandwich makers or marshmallow sticks

For backpacking: dehydrated food; "just add water" mixes like for pancakes; compression sacks; lightweight entertainment, like a small book or a tiny pack of cards. I'm still putting together my own backpacking gear so it's hard to think of other ideas at this time.

For both: annual pass to a state or national park system; books about camping in the area or in an area they want to visit; a multi-use tool; gift certificate to an outdoors store

Answer 2

The age of the person receiving the basket, as well as the experience level, would determine what goes in it. For the "Camping Lover", I would assume that they already have many of the basics. So, I would choose things that I'm pretty sure that they don't have or things that are unique. LL Bean has an "ice cream ball". I would add a "camping journal" with a pen, all the ingredients for making "s'mores", a book with campfire stories or songs, some beef sticks, trail mix, and a tee shirt or ball cap with a funny quote.

Answer 4

well first instead of a basket..use a hiker's backpack. Fill it with a water bladder, some matches,  a compass, topographical maps, one of those all-in-one knives, things of that nature
