OHUB Holiday Gift Guide: All-Season Camping Gear for the Avid Adventurer

While it’s a little on the heavy side (weighs about 10 pounds) the Jetboil Genesis Basecamp system is probably one of the most durable, reliable, and well-equipped camp stove steups you can pick up at just about any online retailer or big box store. The Genesis Basecamp System is the ultimate all-in-one backcountry cooking system, stowing neatly into itself and fitting snugly among your gear. Jetboil’s dual-burner design functions as a standalone stove, or couples with other Jetlink-compatible stoves or a Luna satellite burner to create an outdoor cooking range. The system’s 5-liter Jetboil FluxPot and 10-inch ceramic-coated nonstick fry pan give you everything you need to set a new benchmark for basecamp cooking. A beastly 10,000 BTU heating system boils water in just over three minutes—perfect for melting snow or making coffee. An attachable windscreen improves the system’s performance in any weather; regulated for consistent performance down to 20 degrees F

Sit up for dinner, lean back a touch once you are full and then when the stars come out, adjust once more back and you’re fully relaxing.

The camp stove that started it all. Lightweight, compact, and innovative design makes Lite the solo explorer’s essential.

Exceptional airflow does the heavy lifting so even a novice can boil water in less than 10 minutes. Lite’s unique engineering is the blueprint for our famous smokeless fire pits. The double-walled design and superior airflow make for a flame so hot, smoke is consumed by the heat.

he NEMO Men’s Disco 15 Sleeping Bag is a lightweight down sleeping bag designed for 3-season backpacking. The classic Spoon shape is nice and roomy around the elbows and knees, providing extra wiggle room and comfort for side sleepers, back sleepers, and any other kind of sleeper. The 650-fill down and shell fabric feature a water-repellent treatment for enhanced performance in wet or humid conditions. Thermo Gills on top give you a quick way to vent excess heat during the night, and the built-in pillow pocket keeps a camp pillow, puffy jacket, or wad of clothing positioned where you want it.

The NEMO Hornet 2P Tent is an excellent lightweight option for any kind of camping especially when combined with the NEMO Disco 15 sleeping bags. The NEMO Hornet 2P Tent is a shelter for the backcountry. Hike through the day and when it’s time to set up camp the 2 person tent is ready to protect against bugs and shield from wind and rain. The white mesh offers privacy while the black mesh allows for stargazing at night. A door and vestibule for each person won’t cramp your own personal style, enter and exit without bothering your partner.

For the price and performance you get out of it, the Schrade SCAXE5 is one of the best camping and hiking hatchets out there. The axe features a full tang powder-coated SK5 High Carbon steel head, with a glass-filled nylon fiber handle for better comfort, grip, and cutting power for the miniature 2-pound axe. The SCAXE5 loses a few points for not having a hammer on the opposite side of the axe head but most of the time you can bash your camp stakes in with a handy rock – courtesy of mother nature.

The MSR Piezo Igniter reliably lights most canister stoves with push-button convenience. The ignition element is protected inside the igniter’s tube making it far more reliable than stove-mounted igniters and the tube also collects a small amount of gas further aiding ignition.
Features:

• Durable: Un-mounted design and recessed protected element deliver excellent durability and reliability
• Consistent: Tube collects gas around element for consistent ignition
• Versatile: Designed to work with most canister stoves (Not compatible with the Reactor® stove or other radiant burners)
• Weight: 0.5 oz.

While strikers and fire steels are a fool-proof way to have a reliable ignition source for campfires and camp stoves, sometimes they don’t always work the best when dealing with less-than-optimal fuel sources – especially in windy conditions. The Dual ARC plasma lighter is a fully waterproof USB rechargeable arc lighter that can store a small 0.5oz can of blue pyro putty which is an excellent way to get fires started especially in wet areas of the country like the pacific northwest. The onboard rechargeable battery has up to 300 strikes per charge and the lighter even has a low battery indicator so you know when to throw it on the solar charger.
