Stuff We Want: The Great Outdoors
The change of seasons presents a unique opportunity in the world—it doesn’t matter if you are in the northern or southern hemisphere —it is a great time to go outside.
Say you’re going into winter right now - for one, sorry, but now is your last chance to bask in the glory of the outdoors before your extremities no longer understand what the meaning of warmth is. And if you’re going into summer right now - congrats, welcome to the outside season. Now to do this outdoor experience right there are a few objects that make the overall escapade a lot more enjoyable. They are included below. Remember to apply sunscreen and slow down. We wish you well.
IGLOO ECOCOOL LITTLE PLAYMATE 7 QT COOLER
What would a day outside be without an ice cold drink and what better way to keep it ice cold than with this mini portable igloo. What’s better is that this one is the first of its kind to be made with recycled post-consumer recycled resin so you know you’re doing your bit for the environment while also keeping your beverages refreshed.
Ergonomically designed so it never feels like it's weighing you down no matter how much shit you pack into it or how long you are slinging it over your shoulder. The one shoulder numbers are the absolute shit now and this one is the one we run.
Socks. Crucial for outdoor activities particularly ones that involve wearing shoes, especially ones made from wool to regulate your tootsies no matter the conditions. Don’t be like that finance bro fool who wears pink socks as the only marker of colour in a devoid personality and treat yourself to a pair of the best.
RAPHA MEN'S EXPLORE LIGHTWEIGHT GORE-TEX JACKET
Nature is beautiful, amazing and very smart. So smart that it waters itself which is likely when you will be outside at some point. This Gore-Tex jacket by Rapha will ensure you don’t feel even a single drop of rain and it folds down nicely so that you can carry it in your pocket. Just like the one Boo here is wearing from his series ‘Be Well With Boo.’ Very nice.
BRIXTON BUILDERS CARPENTER PANT
Going outside also means putting on clothes and what better pants to put on than a pair of Carpenter’s to give yourself the feeling of being an outdoorsy, handywoman/man. These bad boys are built with stretch canvas made from REPREVE® recycled polyester derived from plastic bottles and finished with a water-resistant coating and reinforced seams. As durable as a mozzie that you thought you got but didn’t.
YETI FLASK
Drink to your stealth with the most high tec flask on the market. Whether you’re jumping a music festival or waiting for the fish, this little number will keep you chipper.
Here is the world’s best outdoor oven for ovening outdoors. Roast, smoke, steam or bake, super fast or low and slow. Bring the wood fired adventures with you wherever you go. Impress your friends not only with your cooking abilities but your fire-starting abilities, which let's be real, is the most important skill to judge someone on their outdoorsyness.
The ultimate cool guy/girl hat for protecting the noggin outside. Seriously, if you know you know and if you don’t we are here to tell you to just buy one.
Beers and the outdoors go together like nothing else. This particular beer is only available for our northern hemisphere friends but it’s so damn good we had to plug it.
ZIPPO LIGHTER ROSE DAGGER TATTOO
Get that fire started with a old school zippo. This one features a rose dagger tattoo design on the outside which I will personally guarantee everyone will tell you is cool because I have this exact one and this happens every time I whip it out.
THE JAMES BRAND X MONSTER CHILDREN ‘FOLSOM’ KNIFE
What would a listicle on stuff you should buy be without plugging our own shit? Irrelevant. Every one of us in the office has one of these bad boys and let me tell you it comes in handy for the most unusual situations. I’ve physically said the words ‘wow that is so handy,’ several thousand times when putting this thing to use and you will too.
There isn’t a single vehicle that screams ‘I go outside’ more than the landy. Too bad you can’t actually order a new one because they’ve genuinely sold out and even if they were available you’d never be able to afford one anyway. Still, would buy.
