Five Star Gift Ideas

For a friend who is passionate about wilderness survival training, there are plenty of thoughtful and practical gift ideas that they will truly appreciate. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Outdoor Gear: Look for high-quality gear and equipment that would enhance their wilderness survival experiences. Items such as a durable camping tent, a lightweight and sturdy backpack, or a reliable multi-tool can greatly benefit them during their adventures.

2. Wilderness First Aid Kit: Safety is crucial during outdoor activities. Consider gifting them a comprehensive first aid kit specifically designed for wilderness situations. Look for one that includes essentials like bandages, antiseptic wipes, insect repellent, and medications for common outdoor ailments.

3. Survival Books: Books are always an excellent gift for knowledge seekers. Opt for well-regarded wilderness survival books that cover a range of essential skills, such as foraging edible plants, building shelters, and navigating in the wilderness. Titles like "Bushcraft 101" by Dave Canterbury or "SAS Survival Handbook" by John 'Lofty' Wiseman are highly recommended.

4. Outdoor Cooking Gear: If your friend enjoys cooking in the outdoors, consider gifting them portable cooking gear, such as a lightweight camping stove, cooking utensils specifically designed for outdoor use, or a durable camping cookware set. These items will allow them to prepare delicious meals while enjoying their camping or hiking trips.

5. Wilderness Skills Workshop: Give your friend the opportunity to further develop their wilderness survival skills by gifting them a voucher for a wilderness skills workshop or course. They can learn from experts and gain hands-on experience in areas like fire-making, navigation, shelter-building, and emergency wilderness medicine.

6. Subscription to Outdoor Magazines: A subscription to outdoor magazines or online publications related to survival skills can inspire and educate your friend throughout the year. Magazines like "Backpacker", "Outdoor Life", or "Field & Stream" frequently feature articles on wilderness survival techniques, gear reviews, and inspiring outdoor stories.

7. Personalized Survival Kit: Put together a personalized survival kit that caters specifically to your friend's needs and preferences. Include items like a compass, water purifier, fire starter, paracord, emergency blanket, and a whistle. Present it in a durable and compact carrying case for easy transportation.

8. Outdoor Adventure Experience: Surprise your friend by organizing an outdoor adventure experience. Plan a camping trip, hiking expedition, or wilderness survival weekend together. This will allow you to share their passion while creating lasting memories together in nature.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that shows you understand and support your friend's interests. Choose something that aligns with their love for wilderness survival training and reflects their unique personality.

Or you can get her/him a star map with an important date you share.
