OutdoorHub Editor: Keenan Crow 06.09.20
Father’s Day is coming up, and it’s the perfect time to outfit dad with the latest gear for his upcoming outdoor adventures. Whether it’s on the mountains, down in a swamp or on the water, these gifts are sure to put a smile on any outdoorsy dad out there.
First Lite MTN Badge Hoody
When dad isn’t hunting, chances are he’s either talking about his past adventures or, at the very least, dreaming of when he can get back to the chase. Here’s a hoodie for dad that’s super comfortable and perfect for wearing around a campfire, early season deer scouting, small game hunts, fall fly-fishing trips. The list goes on.
A couple of the reviews online say it runs slightly small, so you may want to order a size bigger if he’s in between sizes.
Camp Candles for Conservation
Let dad enjoy the sweet smell of the outdoors by getting him Camp Candles for Conservation. They come in a wide range of outdoor inspired scents, including: Birch Tree, Walk in the Woods, Barnwood, Cozy Cabin and many more.
Also, their candles are hand poured in the United States.
The cool part about Camp Candles for Conservation is 10% of all their candle sales gets donated to a new conservation organization each month. And for the month of June, CCFC announced they will be donating to Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, making a great opportunity to stock up on candles so dads man cave smells a lot less.. well, you know. But it’s also a great way to support his favorite hobby – being outdoors!

Blue Otter Sunglasses
When 2018 New Artist of the Year Luke Combs has time off from tour, he spends it hunting and fishing (with a little golf sprinkled in from time to time, too). And when you’re serious about hitting the outdoors like Luke is, you’re serious about how you see the world around you.
Riley Green was born to play country music. In Jacksonville, Alabama where Riley grew up, his ‘PawPaw’ owned a music venue and first helped him fall in love with music. There wasn’t much else to do in Jacksonville but hunt, fish, drink around the fire and make songs about it, but that was just fine with Riley. That’s all he’s ever wanted to do.
“My favorites are Wet Maple Deep Greens. I’m not too technical of a guy, but I DO know they’re damn comfortable, the clearest lenses I’ve ever had, and 6 months later they’re as new as the day I got them. If I lost ’em…. and believe me I will. I’ll be getting Blue Otters again for sure — You can’t beat the style and comfort of these things.”
