Gifts Ideas for Camping-Glamping Cooks+Tailgaters

Part One

NYC/SLC

"Camping" to retired couples we know-means taking their RVs and parking them at some electrified site with plumbing facilities.

 For others...it's driving the family/friends oversized vehicle- parking  somewhere else -like a well attended park site---or uneven more well attended parking lot-before the BIG GAME---while camping for pals we hike with-constitutes trekking off the grid -and pitching a tent in the wilderness without other humans for miles.

A common thread-for sure-is the need to eat/drink - and practical gear to make/take some of the tastiest tastes and liquids- portable-y available.

Because no matter the definition of camping -as glamping or roughing it for hours or days---cooking up some eats-and quenching thirsts requires durable functional stuff that can be hauled around.

For drinks-hot and cold...double walled, vacuum-insulated bottles and containers- keeps beverages and food at proper temps for hours.

FIFTYFifty 40 oz double wall insulated stainless steel recyclable, non-leaching bottle-pictured comes in bunch of colors $37.99-paracord not included but great idea imo. ALSO available 64oz-75oz growlers-for beer-wine, and new food containers...and different lids.
