Raise your hand if you’ve already got a father’s day gifts lined up for your old man. Normally I’d be one of you with the hands down, but luckily one of the items on this list is already on deck for my dad. He’s probably reading this and should know which one it is when he sees it. So act surprised, dad. Your gift idea was too good to leave off the list.
Hill People Gear – Recon Kit Bag
$95 – Link – https://hillpeoplegear.com/Products/CategoryID/1/ProductID/5
The Recon Kit Bag is great for the tactical fanatic, as well as the occasional hunter or recreational shooter. It’s got enough room to fit any one of a number of [reasonably] sized pistols, or plenty of hunting essentials. My favorite feature is the mesh backed H-harness, which allows you to wear the bag snug against your chest.
Countycomm – Anodized Aluminum AAA Flashlight
$39.95 – Link – https://countycomm.com/collections/aaa-flashlights/products/aluminium-anodized-aaa-flashlight-by-maratac-rev-3
If your dad is into everyday carry (EDC) gear, then this flashlight is for him. Measuring 2.6″ in length by .5″ in diameter, he will hardly notice this addition to his pocket. It comes with a fairly heavy duty, replaceable, pocket clip, runs on a single AAA battery, and shines up to 170 lumens. This little dude even has a low, medium, and high setting for brightness.
MasterClass – Aaron Franklin Teaches Texas Style BBQ
$90 – Link – https://www.masterclass.com/classes/aaron-franklin-teaches-texas-style-bbq#
Once upon a time Aaron Franklin was just an average smoked meats enthusiast like you and I. He’s still a smoked meats enthusiast, who also happens to be the unequivocal king of Texas BBQ. This MasterClass includes 16 video lessons, a downloadable cookbook, anytime access, and a chance to learn from the best. If your old man likes to fire up the grill and dabble in BBQ from time to time, this is a great gift for him!
Buck Knives – 722 Spitfire
$51 – Link – https://www.buckknives.com/product/722-spitfire-knife/0722FAM01/
Easily my favorite knife of all time, the Spitfire is slim, light weight, and durable enough for a near perfect EDC. I saw these online a couple of years ago and took a chance on the unknown. I’ve had one in my pocket every day since. I’ve cut rope, opened feed sacks, and even skinned and gutted entire deer with my Spitfire. It comes in a variety of colors and even has a customization option that gets real dangerous ($) real quick.
Huckberry – Craighill Wilson Keyring
$20 – Link – https://huckberry.com/store/craighill/category/p/58098-wilson-keyring-carbon-black-enameled
Dads have keys to everything. Keys for the house, the barn, the hunting lease/ranch, the truck, the side-by-side, etc. Help simplify all that by getting him the last keyring he’ll ever need. It has space for enough keys that it will make a janitor jealous.
TX Sunrise Outdoors – T-shirt
$25 – Link – https://www.bonfire.com/txsunriseoutdoors/
Does your dad like soft, well-fitting, high quality t-shirts with great graphics? Here’s the perfect solution. TX Sunrise Outdoors is one of my premier partners, a fellow member of Texas Outdoor Writers Association, and a friend. He’s doing his first t-shirt campaign featuring the kick ass logo above, which makes for these perfect Father’s day gifts.
Game Guard – Dove Bucket
$19.99 – Link – https://www.amazon.com/GameGuard-2301GGC-Dove-Bucket/
Dove season will be here before you know it. Don’t let your dad be the guy who didn’t bring a chair. Don’t let him be the guy who doesn’t have a place for all the birds he talks about shooting. Solve both of those problems with a single bucket that comes in the always popular Game Guard camo colors.
