10 Camping Gift Ideas for Under $30

Hunting for gift ideas to give a friend or family member this holiday season?

Check out this compilation of gift ideas for $30 or less, ideal for the camping and outdoor enthusiast in your life.

1. Flashlight. Its compact size and screaming output place the Princeton Tec Attitude in a class of its own. The smooth, intense, white light of the Attitude is achieved by the unique triangular configuration of three Ultrabright LEDs.

2. Compass. Suunto M-2D Compass features a large liquid filled capsule and adjustable declination correction scale. Another convenient feature is the serrated bezel ring, easy to turn even in cold conditions while wearing gloves. The M-Series is ideally suited to navigating in conditions of poor visibility.

3. First Aid Kit. The Adventure Medical Kits Mountain Day Tripper first-aid kit is organized by injury type (cuts, aches, sprains, etc.) so that you don't waste valuable time in the case of an emergency. Out in the wilderness you can never be too prepared, get the Adventure Medical Kits Mountain Day Tripper and hike with confidence.

4. Water Bottle. Klean Kanteen's most popular size, the 27oz Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Sports Cap is perfect for your on-the-go life. Just one or two fill-ups will keep you hydrated and happy all day.

5. Knife. The Petzl Spatha (Large) is an easy-to-open knife featuring a carabiner hole. It can be attached to a harness or a bag, making it easy to access and difficult to lose.

6. Sporks. The Brunton Lite My Fire Spork (4 pack) (spoon-fork-knife combo) brings a bit of civilization to the wild or a bit of the wild to civilization. The Spork is perfect for boating, camping or use around the office.

7. Dehydrated Food. Settle into camp with Backpacker's Pantry Fettuccini Alfredo or try their Paella with Saffron Rice. A true backcountry delight, you'll begin to wonder if you're in fact "roughing it."

8. Multitool. The Gerber Curve Mini Multi Tool is about function, and it looks pretty stylish too. The Gerber Curve has all the basics for cutting, screwing and opening in a sleek design that can even fit on your key chain.

9. Camelback. The Camelbak OMEGA Reservoir (100 oz.) is excellent for warm summer backpacking and expedition trips. Camelbak recently refined their OMEGA Reservoirs with a HydroTanium polyurethane film that further enhances the integrity of one of the most burst-resistant hydration reservoirs in the industry.

The OMEGA also features a self-sealing silicon Big Bite Valve to give you water when you need it without any extra drips on your pack or fleece jacket.

10. Socks. Whether your hike is a short Saturday morning getaway or a multi-day go-light excursion, the SmartWool Hiking Light Crew socks care for your feet every step of the way. The Hiking Light Crew socks' dedication to foot comfort is further demonstrated by the inclusion of sole area cushioning and a spandex reinforced arch brace that holds the sock in place and supports the foot.

About dehydrated food. Years ago I tried the early commercial dehydrated food. It was terrible!

Last winter I was given several different types of modern commercial dehydrated food. Wow! I am now using dehydrated foods in my at home cooking as well as my motorcycle camping.

[Coleman Signature Tent]

Coleman makes a great fan for tents that I think should make the list at http://anglerhangout.com/product/3/3706/Discounted-Coleman-Tent-Fan-On-Sale.html Pretty cheap and it works awesome for those hot muggy days.

[swiss knife information]

I think a swiss army knife would be better to have for a camping gift.

We are like wheat, here on earth to ripen. We ripen intellectually by letting in as much of the universe's complexity as we can. Morally we ripen by making our choices. And we ripen spiritually by openig our eyes to Creation's endless detail.

[New Jordans 2011]

Maybe after a couple of many years, our society will turn out to be massive special comepare with all the condition now. No matter what will come to be later, now what we must do is usually to modify the mattress to turn into properly. Preventing and wish you might have a wonderful mood every day.

Although christmas has passed, i have some birthdays coming. Thanks for the list, id add a GPS system of some kind.

[Light Bulbs]

LED is the new kid on the block. I find LED torches are much smaller than standard torches and therefor lighter to carry. The tiny LED's produce a crisp bright light, which is more than enough to light up the surrounding area. They are an essential piece of equipment when camping.

[cns949]

Aquaroll and coolbox and blow up bed.

[Tim]

The blow up beds are a must for me. I also take the breakable night lights that i use when i got fishing. They come in very handy if your touch goes on the blink.

Every time I go camping I always bring along a pocket knife. I love the pocket knives i have, they have a 1001 uses. A good pocket knife makes camping a lot easier and enjoyable because of these uses. I know that Gerber, Case and SOG all carry great pocket knives. And they are inexpensive gifts..

[plaid suits]

A knife would be a great camping gift. But I agree that the flashlight should be first on the list. The flashlight is a must when attending a camp. Kudos!

[Best Flashlights]

Good list you got here. By the way, just want to add some things. LED flashlight is the new way to go. It's brighter with less energy consumption.

Strange, I had no a Camelback could be bought for under $30. I was always under the impression that it would be quite costly. Good to know, thanks :)

[beijing hostels]

Thank You so much for sharing!

A knife would be a gift site. But I agree that the lamp should be first on the list. The flashlight is a must attend a camp.

[Jen McCleve]

These are some really great gift ideas. If I were to get a camping gift I'd want to get some more lights and lanterns. It seems like we are always misplacing them. You can't have too many flashlights.

[cheap uggs]

Me and my friend were arguing about an issue similar to this! Now I know that I was right. lol! Thanks for the information you post.

[Linda Messier]

This is a good list. Might wanna write this down when going shopping next time.

If, like many widows, you have never had a line of credit in your own name or have only been listed on joint credit card accounts, it's time to make a name for yourself.
