Became official It’s the first weekend of summer, so it’s time to leave home. Whether the destination was a campsite, a beach, or a patch of grass behind the house, the weather was so good that it couldn’t be seen from the other side of the window. This weekend we found some great outdoor deals to help you get out there.

Beach deals
For other ways to overcome the heat of summer, see our guide to vest sunglasses and vests of reusable water bottles.
Even if you bring your whole family and a few friends, you won’t run out of cold drinks and meals on the beach. 90 quarts is equivalent to about 85 liters. In short, this cooler has a large suitcase storage capacity that you need to check at the airport. Wheels and handles make it painless to pull it across the parking lot, but you may need a friend to help carry it once you reach the sand.
I have tested a lot of foldable camping chairs and beach chairs, but this is one of the most. the Most-I’m comfortable sitting. The construction is solid, the wooden armrests are welcome to relax for long periods of time, and the entire chair can hold up to 250 pounds.
If you’re like me, the first few minutes of arriving at the beach give you the anxiety of raw pork chops just hitting the grill. Save your skin with this overhead shade made for attachment to deep beach sand. The Grande model is big enough to fit seven people underneath, and with aluminum hardware, it’s easy to carry for just around £ 6.
These are certainly the original cult sunglasses. Ray-Ban Aviators mean a metal frame and high quality coating that doesn’t easily wear the lens surface, which is a problem with many cheap sunglasses. The polarized version tends to be used near the water and is priced at $ 170 if you want to cut off some of the glare that reflects off the waves.
Backyard deals

We are big fans of WIRED’s Solo Stove series here. Associate Review Editor Parker Hall states that the larger Yukon model (7/10, WIRED recommended) features nearly indestructible build quality and an efficient combustion design and is easy to illuminate. Currently, all sizes of Solo Stove fire pits are on sale, but the bonfire is one size smaller, making it suitable for limited space. (This includes Solo Stove’s new pizza oven).
Scott Gilbertson, senior writer at WIRED, gave the grill a high reputation for its ability to use both charcoal and gas. yes i know. Insanity. But great madness. Now, if you’re cooking in a large group and don’t want to mess with too much briquettes, you can either satisfy the charcoal broiler or switch to clean burning propane. It also comes with a side burner to warm the side dishes, so it feels good.
Not everyone has two perfectly spaced trees in the backyard to string the hammocks. That’s where this stand comes in. Place your hammock wherever you like with this stand, which can hold up to 300 pounds.hammock it’s not Included, but fits Kammock hammocks such as the Roo Single Recycled (sold for $ 56) and the Roo Double Recycled (sold for $ 64).
Camping and hiking deals
Be sure to check out other camping guides such as Best Tent, Best Hiking Gear, Best Camp Gear for more excuses for heading out to the great outdoors this summer.
These are my favorite shoes for day hikes, long hikes and getting closer to outdoor climbing routes. I have put hundreds of miles into a pair in the last year alone. This includes a week’s trip, which can be up to 15-17 miles a day. From desert sand to tropical mud, they were very comfortable and slippery. These don’t have a Gore-Tex water resistant lining, but I consider it positive. They breathe more easily and, once wet, dry much faster. Women’s sizes are sold at the same price.
Hydro Flask makes some of my very favorite reusable water bottles, thanks to a leak-proof cap and a nail-durable coating. Vacuum-insulated bottles are a luxury for a day or more of hiking trips, but are worth the extra weight when camping at a well-established height so that you can drink icy cold water throughout the weekend. there is.
Base Camp 4 is large enough for four people, and the two doors and entrance hall reduce the number of tentmates overcoming each other. The maximum internal height is 60 inches, and while not everyone can stand up, there is plenty of room to put on and take off clothes. The poles and pole sleeves are color coded for easy setup.
Forget about tinkering with flashlights or trying to place lanterns However Set up a tent, cook a late dinner, pack up before sunrise and enjoy a great hike. Attach the light to the nogin to make it hands-free. The Spot 400 is one of the reliable staples of hiking equipment. Many pledge reliability, water resistance, and a red light setting that is easy on the eyes at night. It runs on 3 AAA batteries, so you don’t have to worry about charging away from home.
