How do you give a gift to someone that’s done so much for you? He changed your diaper, passed on his love of baseball, and bought you your first bike. Give him a gift he can really use this Father’s Day!

The Beach Bum Dad

If your dad loves the sun and sand, he’s going to need some sun protection. While sunblock is a great idea, it is less than impressive as a gift. Grand Trunk’s Parasheet is a great gift to give to your dad. Unlike the usual beach towel, the Parasheet allows you to fill the corner pockets with rocks or sand so that it doesn’t fly away. Parasheet.jpg

The Chill Dad

After  a long day of work, most dads just want to relax. The Grand Trunk Double Hammock is a durable and comfortable way for your dad to relax outdoors. Our hammocks are high strength and come with nautical strength carabiners.

The Outdoorsy Dad

Props to this special kind of dad! He’s the one that taught us how to pitch our first tent and build a fire. We recommend the Uinta Quick-Set 4 Man Tent for your outdoorsy father. This tent is a total game-changer. This tent’s easy set-up will ensure that your father spends less time figuring out his tent and more time having a beer around the campfire.

The Travelling Dad

For the dad always jetting off on vacations or business trips, the gift of comfort is the most valuable. The Grand Trunk Hooded Travel Pillow serves a lot of comfort as well as convenience. Whether its a plane, train, or automobile, your dad can get some shut eye in peace thanks to the memory foam lining and fleece shell on the Hooded Travel Pillow.

There are many kinds of fathers out there – but none as special as your own. Find him something he’ll genuinely enjoy this year! We hope you find the perfect gift for your dad – no matter what he’s into.

Happy Father’s Day from Grand Trunk!

Speaking from experience, there’s nothing better in this world than a spontaneous adventure. From last minute festival tickets to an impromptu camping trip, opening yourself up to adventure can lead to the most memorable moments of your life. The time of your life may be waiting for you around a campfire in the woods, or wandering by the edge of a lake guided only by the moonlight.

Whatever the case, being spontaneous does not mean that you have to be unprepared. And for that, we’ve gathered our top five camping essentials.

1. When you get a group of guys together to set up tents at your campgrounds, there’s always a competition. Who has the coolest tent? Who can set it up faster? Rest assured that you’ll win the race with the spacious Uinta Quick-Set 4 Man Tent.

2. In an effort to stay green, no camping trip is complete without reusable cookware. We suggest the Zebra Stainless Steel Tiffin Box food carriers and the Multi-Purpose Spoon to decrease your carbon footprint.

 

3. Weight can be a limiting factor for many journeys. Packing an ultra-light Collapsible Camp Stool can take pounds off of your load.

4. Nights in the great outdoors can get cold. For that, there’s the Bamboo Blend Travel Blanket. It’s so soft and warm and – oh! – there’s a foot warmer pocket!

 

5. When your weather conditions are nice enough, the Parachute Nylon Double Hammock is a fun alternative to sleeping in a tent.



Free spirits, rejoice! This list is all you need to be ready at a moment’s notice for any camping adventure that awaits! See you on the other side, friends!
