Great ideas of what to get your mom for Mothers\u2019 Day<\/h2>\n

Opinel Surf and Turf<\/h3>\n

\"Opinel<\/p>\n

Joseph Opinel developed his first folding knife in 1890 while working for his father in France. That knife, still offered today (the Opinel #8) gave rise to a brand that offers great classic knives at reasonable prices. And those affordable, they aren\u2019t \u2018cheap\u2019 \u2013\u00a0I still own and use a #8 classic folder I, a young teen at the time, received it as a Christmas gift in 1980!<\/p>\n

The latest offering form Opinel also makes a great gift, and outdoor adventuring moms will love the Surf and Turf blade set. This set includes a #08 Mushroom folding knife and the #09 Oyster folding knife!\u00a0The Oyster knife features a Padouk wood handle \u2013 padouk is a water-resistant hardwood that can stand up to the rigors of use around salt water. The blade on the Oyster knife sports a blunt tip to keep your off-hand safe while your work the blade into the oyster shell.<\/p>\n

The \u2018turf\u2019 side of the kit features a concave curve on the blade edge to allow it to \u2018hook\u2019 around a \u2018shroom stem. At the base of the beechwood hand is a small boars-hair bristle brush to gently clean your harvest of forest debris. \u00a0$52 for the two-knife kit. Buy now.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

REI Flash 22 pack<\/h3>\n

\"REi<\/p>\n

Sometimes, less is more. When traveling, weight and space are valuable. So anything that helps you save on one or both makes sense. Enter the Flash 22 pack. This ultrapack daypack proved itself as the perfect personal item carryon for domestic and internatlonal travel. It\u2019s compact enough to easily slip under airline seats, while still leaving room for your feet when you stretch out. It\u2019s roomy enough to swallow an emergency change of clothes (in case your checked bag gets lost) as well as a pad or laptop, headphones, reading materials, waterbottle, and other essentials. And it is comfortable enough with modest loads to be useful as a trail pack for long dayhikes on rough terrain.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve used the Flash 22 extensively on the trail, through airports, and even on river rafting trips. It\u2019s proven to be a tough, efficient pack that performs exceptionally well. \u00a0$60. Buy now.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Regardless of the season, mountain camps can get chilly in the evening. And even if a campfire warms your front, most camp chairs don\u2019t provide any insulation for your backside. Enter the Kuma Lazy Bear Heated Chair.<\/p>\n

This cushy camp chair provides a well-padded seat and backrest that insulates against the cool night air. But built into what insulation seat cushion is a heating element that, using a small rechargeable power pack, provide hours of adjustable heat to your seat.<\/p>\n

The heating element can be linked via Bluetooth to a simple app on your phone to allow ready access to the heating controls.<\/p>\n

The folding chair is weather-safe so you can sit in warm comfort even when its snowy or rainy. $250. Buy now.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

One way to make camps more comfortable for mom is to help her keep the bugs at bay. The new Kuma Super Bear Den Deluxe Gazebo does just that, with minimal effort.<\/p>\n

The pop-up shelter takes no more than a minute to set-up, and at nearly 10 by 12 feet, it offers enough screened room for a table and seating for 6, along with space for a cook stove and work area. The shelter is tough and durable and weighs just 32 pounds. It\u2019s a great way to enjoy the outdoors while keeping pests away.<\/p>\n
