Chaguzi za Juu za Noel kwa Zawadi za Hiking & Backpacking

Kichujio cha Maji ya Minimalist: Squeeze ya Sawyer

Utakaso wa maji ni muhimu katika nchi ya nyuma, kwa hivyo Squeeze ya Sawyer ni zawadi kamili kwa backpacker yoyote inayotafuta kuchuja maji kwenye safari yao. Squeeze ina uzito wa zaidi ya ounces mbili, ni pakiti sana, na inakadiriwa kuchuja zaidi ya galoni 100,000 za maji. Ni msingi wa jamii ya backpacking.

Zawadi za Afya na Ustawi kwa Hikers

Wadudu wenye afya: Sawyer Picaridin Lotion

Mosquitos, gnats, flies, and ticks are not only incredibly annoying but can also transmit devastating diseases. This DEET-free Picaridin-based lotion is healthy, easy to apply, and will last up to 14 hours. No harm if it comes in contact with clothing or gear, either, as it dries quickly and won’t damage synthetics.
