July Birthday Gifts for Men - 2023

Wise Owl Hammock

Since the first time my daughter used the Wise Owl Hammock she hasn't let it go. We can't get her to sleep in the tent now. We've had to order multiples so the rest of us can enjoy the comfort of a hammock.

What we love:

1. Quick setup
2. Self containing stow-away bag
3. Straps come included
4. Light weight

Drone with Camera

We bought a drone a few years ago. This thing is amazing in comparison! While it's geared for beginners, it has some awesome features. The price is amazing as well. There are thousands of 4+ star reviews. Great trendy product!

Things We Love:

1. Compact design let's it go anywhere
2. Built in camera
3. Beginner mode 

RC Truck/Car

My son LOVES this RC Truck/Car. It's fast on every terrain - I mean REALLY fast. It's pretty sturdy, if you don't abuse it. We did end up burning out the servo (plastic like most this size) but the company has replacements you can buy. Great little RC car.

3 Things We Love:

1. FAST!
2. Easy to control
3. Just the right size to take on any outing

Fishing Rod - Abu Garcia

Baitcasting is awesome! We fish for pike and other awesome sport fish. This Abu Garcia bait casting rod/reel combo is a great package to get started.

What we love:

1. The length and stiffness are perfect for larger fish
2. The reel has a great ratio and drag system

Awesome Fly Fishing Hat

Capture the moment of the catch! This fly fishing baseball cap shows a trout chasing a fly just before the big moment! Perfect for the big fisherman in your life.

Hat for Rock Climbers

Coleman ComfortSmart Cot

My son wanted to get his Eagle Scout before he turned 13 - Whew! As Scout Master I was committed to 20 campouts in 26 months. Don't get me wrong, I love camping, but on car campouts this cot was a lifesaver!

Paired with the Coleman dome tent we were protected and comfortable night after night.

What we love:

1. Long enough - I'm 6'4 and fit fine
2. Comfortable - a big step up from ground pads
3. Quick set up

Waterproof Hiking Shoe - Keen

All the time we spend outdoors requires durable, waterproof footwear. Keen waterproof shoes have proven to be great, every day shoes.

What we love:

1. Aggressive soles
2. Waterproof shoes
3. Attractive designs

Coleman Dome Tent for Camping

This is the tent you take for overnight car camping. Best for 2-3 people. 2 cots fit great.

This one is the right size, has that dark room technology (seems gimicky but you can sleep after the sun has risen), and it takes a beating. Takes 5 minutes to set up.

* Keep an eye on the price, it goes on sale frequently.

What we love:

1. Affordable - tents wear out, you don't want to feel pain when it gives out
2. Dark room coating - actually works
3. Waterproof
4. Rapid setup
5. Tent actually fits back in the bag when you pack up

1. Ultra comfortable
2. Perfect for summer chillin
3. Stylish back yard relaxing
4. Instant Shade
5. Insect resistent

Yes We Own It, Can't Live Without It!

The Wave is tough, versatile and has just the right tool set. While we use the Leatherman Freestyle for our EDC, the Wave is our go-to for more challenging needs. 

What we love:

1. Multiple cutting blades
2. The saw
3. Multiple driver bits
4. Leatherman support and warranties
