The best gift for the hunter

You can argue for a long time about the ethics of hunting and the justification of this activity. But an indisputable fact is that in any city there are hunters. Therefore, many people need to know how and what to give them for their birthday or New Year.

Speaking about the best gift for a hunter (both a young guy and an experienced gray-haired miner), one cannot ignore sleeping bags. They are much more effective than any blankets protect from the cold. The classic design of the bag “blanket” resembles a rectangle in appearance. A clasp is sewn around its perimeter. Such a sleeping bag is intended only for relatively simple conditions of summer, early autumn.

The design of the "cocoon" type is distinguished by a warmed hood, it is narrower in the legs than on the belt. A similar product is recommended for the most difficult exits to winter forests and for hiking in mountainous areas. Sleeping bags "cocoons" are also relatively compact. This is very important for hunters who have to carry a lot of cargo.

But for wet areas, bags with synthetic fillers are much better. Errors can be eliminated if we take into account the thermal conditions for which the sleeping bag is designed. At the same time, temperature indicators are distinguished for being in a tent and outdoors. If insufficient attention is paid to this, if the bag for hunting is selected only in appearance - it can create many problems.

When choosing sleeping bags for the off-season, there are much more problems than with purely summer or purely winter samples. Suitable products can only be found in the assortment of the largest companies. The main focus when choosing will have to pay air temperature. The fact is that the temperature drops to critical values ​​during this period is very frequent. And if the bag is not warm enough, there can be serious health consequences.

You should not choose sintepon bags. If only because it is frankly cheap material, such a purchase will reasonably be perceived as disrespect for the hunter. In addition, the durability of a sleeping bag on a synthetic winterizer does not exceed 2 years. And with a very tight packing in a backpack, the insulation will wear out a lot. As for the outer coating, it is best that it is not made of nylon, but of membrane materials. Additional criteria for choosing a quality product will be:

• fastening hood (less risk of unauthorized opening of the bag);
• dark color (it is less easily soiled, warmer, promotes accelerated drying);
• high-quality seams;
• durability and reliability of lightning.

A hunter who has a sleeping bag can safely be presented with a tent. After all, these are mutually complementary accessories for hunting. When there is one and the other at once, access to the forest or nature immediately becomes more comfortable and safer. An indispensable requirement is the density and mechanical strength of the "field house". A good tent, unlike clothes, is made not of natural, but of synthetic threads. The higher the density of the fibers, the better the finished product.

Connoisseurs invariably advise checking this parameter with an accompanying passport, not satisfied with the words of sellers. No less important is special impregnation. Even single hunters will be happy if they have a double and not a single tent. Then it will be more convenient to stack various supplies, loot and supplies. Other things being equal, tents with high water resistance are very good.

They are comfortable, even when rain pours outside, there is a thick fog. Important and additional equipment stove. Even in the summer months, it’s cold in the wild at night. And even in light frost, an unheated tent becomes a real torment. The best options are those where the hearth is included, because then the design is initially consistent.

If there is an opportunity not to save, feel free to buy the most expensive stoves. They can even cook food, regardless of the weather outside the walls. It is worth paying attention to the mass of the structure. The smaller it is, the more pleasant it is to use. But of course, to reasonable limits - after all, the people themselves and all the things they need should be free in the tent.

When choosing a gift for a friend who is fond of hunting, it is useful to pay attention to backpacks. No matter how important the tents and bedding are, the main equipment and the main part of the boot are carried exactly behind. And therefore, a person always cares:

• what is the capacity of the backpack;
• what is its strength;
• how many branches are there;
• Is the construction resistant to water?

But if the tent, rug or sleeping bag can still be picked up in absentia, then the backpack is chosen only together with those people who will use it. Like boots or a hat, the backpack should be carefully tried on and checked to see if everything is comfortable, whether there is any discomfort. A tiny inconvenience in the first minutes can turn into a real nightmare in a matter of many hours, especially a multi-day running hunt.

Only rare purchases over the Internet are successful. As for the volume, most hunters believe that 25-35 liters are enough for a one-day exit. If there are no special requirements for the product, you can limit yourself to hiking army bag. Such equipment is used even by some experienced people. True, they caution that discomfort may occur on a long trip or under heavy load.

A hunting backpack differs from a tourist one, by the way, with minimal noise. Any sound can frighten off animals. It is recommended to check how loudly the filled backpack is removed and put on, whether it makes noise when walking. As for wear resistance, the best versions are made according to the method of weaving.

When a person loves hunting, it means the desire for a while to leave civilization. But it is not necessary to give up all its benefits. If in the tent and in the parking lot as a whole you can warm yourself with the help of fires, stoves, then thermos helps during the trip. It is recommended to choose models with an expanded mouth. Such products will make it possible to prepare hot food in the morning and eat it warm in the evening.

Thermos with a glass bulb is not suitable for hunters. The metal construction is much better. As with the selection of other accessories, it is recommended to read reviews. It is necessary to check whether the lid will independently unscrew from the bulb. Of course, you should give preference to products of renowned companies.

It is very important for a man who enjoys hunting to have a camping lamp. Often such products are mounted on the barrel of the gun to free hands. And this is the case when focusing on reviews is hardly reasonable. It is better to consult with the gifted themselves - they know exactly what they need. In any case, it is necessary to take into account the correspondence of the flashlight and specific models of the gun.

The rational length of the field lamp is 0.145-0.15 m. The diameter is not higher than 1 inch. Weight max 0.3 kg (otherwise the balance of shooting will deteriorate). Of course, strength is also important. The best products are made of aluminum, do not let water through, turn on and off easily.

It is not so important whether a hunting gift is given for a birthday, New Year's Day or February 23rd. The main rule is the same as in other cases - the gifted should experience the joy of the presentation. Choosing a surprise for the husband or intended for the father, you can inadvertently ask and find out the individual requirements of the birthday man. If the gift is given to friends, acquaintances, colleagues or distant relatives, the choice is significantly complicated.

For the boss, you can also give specific hunting presents. But it’s better to give up “cool” things. Only close and well-known arrows make sense to give something with humor. In order not to make a mistake when choosing a surprise for poorly familiar people, you need to devote some time to familiarizing yourself with the topic of hunting in a particular area.

Do not choose elite gifts if a return present of the same level will be expensive for a person. This immediately puts both sides in an awkward position. It’s worth immediately telling about what it’s definitely not worth giving. This weapon - all hunters buy it for themselves (even if they are interested in reviews of other people). It is foolish to give souvenir and decorative weapons - the only exception is those people who are especially interested in him.

Do not give away consumables (ammunition, gunpowder, canned goods, flares). It is not recommended to give money. But to pay for a license on your own or to purchase special literature is very correct.

Speaking about the original gift for an anniversary or on another occasion, it is worth pointing out - personal tastes come first. So, obviously not drinking alcohol, sets of glasses and glasses are hardly suitable, even if they are decorated with thematic drawings. Moreover, almost any person will have the full right to be offended when receiving such a presentation. In the absence of imagination, “win-win” options will come to the rescue:

• satellite navigator;
• walkie-talkie;
• waterproof tablet for documents;
• aluminum or plastic flask;
• miniature kettle;
• hiking boots;
• Swiss knife;
• camouflage gown;
• binoculars;
• night-vision device;
• shockproof waterproof mobile phone.

Not so important - it was decided to give hunting souvenirs or more “weighty” things. A lot depends on the filing. Any hunter is pleased when a gift is discovered unexpectedly. For example, appears on the table on the scheduled day.

Small items are presented in decorative bags. They are sold in gift shops, and even in bookstores. Given the severity and seriousness of most hunters, you must abandon the rally or think it through very carefully. If you plan a joint trip to a restaurant, cafe, a romantic dinner at home - gift giving can be combined with these events. Original present gift will help:

• cake box;
• sports bag;
• another, non-thematic gift (next to or with it, inside which the main thing is located).
