Mwongozo wa zawadi uliofanywa kwa nje kubwa

Our rugged crew at the Albany Democrat-Herald and Corvallis Gazette-Times have created a holiday gift guide for outdoors enthusiasts.

These are some of the items we swear by and take or wear on almost every hiking or backpacking trip — and even on car-camping jaunts in certain instances.

As a bonus to you, cost-conscious shopper, these products won’t break the bank, and a few are perfect stocking stuffers for the wild ones in your family.

See the full gift guide by Kyle Odegard on the Gazette Times' website here.
