Happy Holidays from Camp Chippewa! ‘Tis the season of giving, and there are a few gifts I have received that I use and value more than camping equipment. An Apple Watch does sound nice, but an REI Flexlite Camp Chair sounds even nicer after a long day of paddling. Here is our latest update to the Chippewa Holiday Gift List full of great gift ideas for your camper!

Sea to Summit Head Net – $10.95

Bugs are no fun, this head net can fit in any pocket. I cannot recommend bringing a bug net on the trail highly enough!


MPOWERD Luci Outdoor 2.0 Inflatable Solar Lantern – $24.95

This lantern is perfect for reading a book, playing cards, or going over maps in your tent. It packs down small and is super easy to recharge. The days of dead batteries are behind us!


REI Shower Roll – $29.95

Staying organized on the trail is a crucial skill, and toiletry kits are a great way to keep all your small gear in one place. There are many different models and sizes, but I’d recommend getting one that you can hang in a tree at a campsite!
