The Cabela’s Gift Guide for Every Kind of Outdoor Enthusiast

There’s no one right way to get outside—that’s the fun of it. Maybe your mom’s gearing up for her first multiday backpacking trip, while your brother’s just dipping his toes into camping life. Either way, they both count in our book. And luckily, you can find the perfect gift for each of them in just a few clicks.

Enter Cabela’s—basically the outdoors’ home base. Whether you’re chasing fish, pitching tents, or just finding your next favorite trail, they’ve got you covered. From boats to boots, packs to poles, Cabela’s has the gear for every kind of adventurer. (Yes, even your brother the beginner.) Not sure where to start? Here are eight ideas to get you going.

For the Soft Adventurer

Yeti Rambler Tumbler with MagSlider Lid

Everyone needs a great insulated tumbler, and Yeti still makes the best around. The Rambler is nearly indestructible, keeps things piping hot or ice cold for hours, and fits in all standard cup holders. The best part? It’s now available in everyone’s favorite color—nearly 20 different hues.

Ascend Expedition Quarter-Zip Fleece Long-Sleeve Hoodie 

Once you go hoody, you never go back. The ability to throw on the hood and instantly warm up is a beautiful thing. This cozy midlayer is a great price and the perfect combination of warmth, comfort, and layerability.

Osprey Daylite Hiking Backpack 

We love this versatile little pack. Primarily designed for hiking, it’s simple and versatile, with a large panel-loading main compartment and plentiful storage options and pockets. What sets it apart: the interior sleeve for a hydration pack also fits a tablet, and it’s sleek enough to be your go-to travel pack.

Cabela’s Big Outdoorsman Lounger Chair 

This isn’t your average camp chair. Featuring an adjustable head pillow and thick foam padding across the back and seat, it’s built for serious comfort—even on uneven ground. The multiposition frame lets you sit tall, stretch out flat, or kick back anywhere in between. Your family member might not treat themselves to a chair this nice, and that’s exactly why you should.

For the Seasoned Outdoor Vet

Leatherman Curl Multi-Tool

Every outdoorsperson should have a versatile multi-tool, and there’s no better option than a Leatherman. The Curl Multi-tool combines 15 high-performance tools into one sleek package. From pliers to wirecutters to a 420HC plain-edge knife, it can deliver potentially live-saving performance and should be an essential on any pack list.

Ascend Nine Mile 1-Person Backpacking Tent 

Perfect for the solo adventurer, this three-season backpacking tent is perfect for long stints on the trail. Made of a breathable polyester, it’s comfortable and weatherproof, keeping you cool on hot nights and dry when the forecast looks hairy. It comes with a compression stuff sack and weighs in at just three pounds, so it’s respectfully light, especially at this price point.

Garmin inReach Mini 2 Satellite Communicator 

For that one person who’s always off doing something cool in the middle of nowhere, this compact, lightweight satellite communicator keeps them connected even when cell service disappears. Built tough with impact resistance and an IPX7 water rating, it’s ready for whatever their next adventure throws at it.

Ascend Lisco Low Waterproof Hiking Shoes

If you know a serious hiker, you know they go through footwear fast. Moisture-wicking liners and proprietary waterproof-breathable membranes keep your feet ventilated, dry, and comfortable through all kinds of weather and terrain. Shock-absorbing, ground-grabbing, and ultracomfortable, these are a trustworthy companion for anyone tackling major miles on the trail.
