Outdoor Holiday Gift Guide

​
Since I already put together a hiking gear gift guide in 2017 where you can look at some awesome gift ideas for that special hiker/backpacker in your life from $1-$200. This year I thought I'd put together a gift guide geared towards those outdoor lovers in your life who might already have all the gear they need. These outdoor inspired gifts are all hand made or made by small local Pacific Northwest companies and range from $3-$450.
The CNOC Outdoors Vecto bag is one of the best pieces of gear in my backpacking arsenal. This flexible water bag is compatible with a Sawyer water filter and with it's wide opening at the top, it makes collecting water very easy. The Vecto bags are extremely heavy duty and will last you thousands of miles of backpacking. 
CNOC Outdoors is a company based in Portland, Oregon and owner Gilad is extremely dedicated to making sure all of the products that the company sells are great quality and he truly cares about his customers.

The design side is waterproof, so no moisture or liquid will leak through to your hand when holding it.
