Father’s Day doesn’t always have to be about buying a new shirt or booking a restaurant table. If your dad loves the outdoors, why not do something a little more memorable this year?

Every trek needs a sturdy bag. If your dad doesn’t already have one, a compact daypack makes a practical gift. It should hold water bottles, snacks, an extra shirt, and a few small essentials without weighing him down.
8. Snacks, Water & Must-Haves
No trek is complete without fuel. Pack high-energy snacks like trail mix, granola bars, and fruits, along with at least one litre of water per person. Don’t forget a basic first-aid kit, sunscreen, and a multipurpose tool better to be safe than sorry.
9. Something Fun for Camp Time
If you’re camping overnight or taking breaks along the trail, throw in a deck of cards, a compact board game, or even a small journal. Dads (and kids) can jot down memories, sketch what they see, or simply unwind with some fun.
Why an Outdoor Experience Beats Traditional Gifts
Sure, shirts and gadgets are great. But a trek? It’s an experience. It lets your dad slow down, connect with nature, and spend meaningful time with the family. It’s also a wonderful way to introduce kids to hiking and the great outdoors.
