　　And anyway, you dont have to be a dad to enjoy the nostalgia of Smokey Bear sunglasses or the frivolity of a fly fishing iPhone case. Find your next favorite piece of outdoor gear right here.

　　CAMP Smokey Bear Eyewear

　　(Photo/CAMP) Obviously, none of us could ever be as cool as Smokey Bear, but this CAMP Eyewear collaboration comes pretty close.

　　The collection includes five of CAMP’s bestselling sunglasses, designed with rustic, vintage-inspired colors and details reminiscent of Smokey Bear’s 1970s public service campaigns. Made from plant-based bioplastic, the sunglasses feature laser-engraved wood accents, Smokey’s hat emblem on the temple tips, and the “Only You” tagline on the lenses.

　　Each pair is priced at $80, blending eco-friendly materials with a nostalgic tribute to Smokey Bear’s legacy in environmental stewardship. CAMP Eyewear will contribute a portion of each sale to wildfire prevention efforts.

　　Stio x Taylor Guitars

　　(Photo/Stio) Long before the collaboration launched this month, Stios founder had a deep appreciation for the iconic sound of Taylor Guitars.

　　As we began opening our Mountain Studios, I made a dedicated spot for a Taylor guitar within each store and encouraged people to play by offering discounts of 5% off for one song, 10% off for two, and 15% off for playing a short set, Stio founder Stephen Sullivan said. It’s been wildly successful and I think it’s really fostered a unique community element within the store similar to a campfire hangout.”

　　Now, the Jackson Hole-based brand has worked with nine local artists to make a limited-edition run of custom Stio x Taylor GS Minis. The artwork draws inspiration from Wyoming landscapes, mountain town culture, and the artists personal styles. All nine custom-designed guitars are available for purchase at Stio.com for $700 each and can be made to order.

　　Skida Running Cap

　　(Photo/Skida) Summer sun gets more potent every year, and the Skida Running Cap aims to offer extra protection to keep you outside.

　　This lightweight, packable Running Cap offers UPF 50+ protection and a moisture-wicking brim for ventilation during intense workouts. Its design ensures a snug fit, and the cap is made from soft, crushable polyester with stretch mesh sides, making it easy to stow in fanny packs, running vests, or pockets. An adjustable strap allows for a personalized fit.

　　Available in three patterns — Mulberry, Battenkill, and Honeydew — the Running Cap retails for $48.

　　OtterBox x Fishe iPhone Cases

The OtterBox x Fishe Collection includes Steel My Heart, with a steelhead illustration, and Mt. Cutty, for those more interested in cutthroat trout.

　　These cases are compatible with iPhone 15/15 Pro, iPhone 14/14 Pro, and iPhone 13/13 Pro devices and are priced at $50.

　　The cases feature built-in magnets for seamless attachment to MagSafe chargers and accessories. They meet DROP+ standards, surviving three times as many drops as the military standard.

　　TINCUP Bourbon Barrel Firewood

　　(Photo/TINCUP) The 1984 adventure film Romancing The Stone had many classic scenes, but my personal favorite is when Michael Douglas character finds a crashed plane in the Colombian jungle and proceeds to make a campfire from the ganja piled inside. (Now thats what I call a campfire, he says in the film.)

　　I imagine theres a somewhat similarfeeling with TINCUPs limited run of Bourbon Barrel Firewood, made from the same charred oak barrels used to age the brands bourbon. The unique firewood will turn your campfire into a bouquet of cinnamon, pine, honey, and freshly cut grass, according to TINCUP.

　　The firewood costs $92, or $150 when bundled with TINCUP 10 Year Bourbon. Each bundle includes burnable, eco-friendly rope for easy and sustainable use. Proceeds from the firewood sales will support TINCUP’s annual donation to Leave No Trace.

　　(Photo/Roofnest) Roofnest introduces the Meadowlark XL, a soft-shell rooftop tent designed for adventurers who need additional roof space for gear.
