It's been almost two years since the traumatic day when I had to be rescued while traveling solo in South Africa. While I can't remember what I ate for lunch yesterday, that sunny Monday morning in Table Mountain National Park is forever etched into my memory. I did a lot of things wrong that day-for starters, hiking alone on a dangerous trail.
Temperatures are dropping fast, but seasoned shoppers know exactly what that means-the Black Friday deals are heating up as I write. As an outdoor gear outfitter, I've fielded countless questions from concerned shoppers looking to stay warm in the coming months or find the perfect gifts for their loved ones. I take this time seriously, so when I heard that Eddie Bauer has hundreds of items on sale, you better believe that I rushed to check it out.
I've been camping my whole life starting with backyard campouts and local overnights and growing into longhaul RV vacations and backpacking trips. One thing I always bring with me is a hammock (and yes, we even had one set up for backyard camp nights.) I've never regretted the extra bit of weight when relaxing at camp after a long day of hiking in the sun.
You have to get your loved one a space heater because otherwise, they are sneaking around when you are not home, turning the heat up to 75 degrees, leaving you wondering why you are suddenly sweating while you're trying to watch TV. (Look, I'm not proud of myself, but it's a struggle to survive around here!) This Dreo Whole Room Heater is our top space heater pick. It's compact, good-looking, and doesn't tip over and won't burn your loved one to death in their office.
The Yeti Hopper Flip is one of our favorite soft coolersafter years of testing. We've tossed this cooler off of cliffs, swam with it in the ocean (it floats!), and even checked it in a large suitcase for use on vacation. It can fit up to 16 cans plus ice, is 100 percent leakproof, and comes in 22 fun colors.
Samsung The Frame TV 55-Inch (2024 QLED) While it's not the newest release, the 2024 Samsung Frame TV is currently $300 off. We've tested it several times, and the quality is undeniable. The QLED version is among the best frame TVs we've found, and setup is a breeze. My guess is that this will be one of the best sale finds of the entire event.

Huckberry is where we send a lot of guys for one-stop shopping. The retailer stocks brands like RRL, Barbour, Danner, and all the stuff that we're into. Those brands are big names that rarely hit the sale section, but just in time for fall some of the smaller brands on the site are included in a nice little end of season sale. You can stock up on seasonal items, like lightweight crewneck sweaters from Faherty and Chelsea boots from Huckberry in-house brand Rhodes.

An average flashlight doesn't cut it, and the high-powered ones are pretty limited in uses. So when I go camping, I want the the strongest lamp there is. Something that puts out sharp, clear light. Bonus points if it has a few extra bells and whistles for me, a tech guy in the woods. All I had to do was turn to America's most trusted battery brand f0r the perfect solution. This Duracell rechargeable lantern is damn near perfect.
The Landing Zone weighs next to nothing (1.7 ounces) and makes the vestibule much more usable, keeping your gear dry even if the ground gets wet. It's a nice feature I've come to appreciate on rainy days.
