If you plan on giving this to your dad as a gift, I wouldn’t mention the name of the product. Hammocks are extremely relaxing ways to enjoy the outdoors, and I think the reason it’s called a fatboy is because of how many people it can accommodate.

My family has a golden retriever dog that loves to play fetch. The only problem is Dad is the only one the dog will play with, and Dad hates picking up the tennis ball after it’s been in the dog’s mouth. We solved that problem with one of these. This chuck-it will toss the tennis ball and Dad doesn’t have to touch the ball with his hands.

If Dad enjoys a brew every now and then, now he can take one with him in this beer holster when he goes for a hike or is at the grill. Of course, I can see a couple of younger guys getting their hands on these and having a chug-down in the middle of the street. And it doesn’t matter if you drink from a bottle or a can, both fit in the holster.

My dad has a boat tube similar to this one, and I have to say it is some of the most fun you can have on the water. Water skiing is too taxing on the back and anything you have to straddle cramps your leg muscles. But this is pure fun. Lay or sit down, grab a handle and hold on for the ride of your life.

If your father really goes like to hunt, then this is something he will seriously enjoy this. This hunting knife has a 4 inch blade and is easily carried. I just think about John Rambo’s line when asked what do you hunt with a knife; he said, “Name it.”

The theme for this week, if you haven’t guessed it, is outdoor gift ideas for Dad. Today’s gift idea is a paintball gun set. For those that aren’t up to speed, paintball is a chance for guys and girls to experience urban combat without the real bullets. Of course, if Dad isn’t into this, he can always use the gun to paint the house Jackson Pollock style.

After Dad has bagged his limit, he’ll probably want to celebrate with a mini-barbecue. This outdoor grill is the perfect size for transporting to a campsite or other remote location. There’s also a mesh cover that allows air to circulate while keeping sparks from escaping and getting onto the surrounding grass.

If dad likes to go hunting throughout the year, then this is the gift for him. These hunting bib coveralls are lightweight, so dad won’t feel like he’s carrying unnecessary weight around. The camouflage pattern also helps blend into the environment to lure the prey within shot.

It’s never too late to start preparing for the upcoming season. Even though we’re in the middle of a heat wave, looking ahead to the colder temperatures will save you some money. For instance, this is the perfect time to start shopping for a wind breaker/fall jacket.

If you have a dad who is seriously into fishing, then you’re going to want to take a long look at this fishing rod. This fishing rod has a downlocking fore grip for better comfort and more secure grip. The ceramic rings and tips make for a stronger and lighter rod. And each rod is custom weighted depending on which reel you get.
