Christmas shopping for the outdoors person

Body
For the past 38 years, sometime around the end of November, I’ve listed some gift ideas for the sportsperson on your list. Some items, such as the Smokin Tex electric smoker (www.smokintex.com) is at the top of the list every year because the majority of my friends are outdoors people and they all like cooking the fruits of their hunts/fishing trips and I consider a good smoker as essential gear. But there are other items that you might not find on the shelves of box stores that are equally useful. This week, I’ll give some ideas that might help make your shopping easier. Many you will need to order so that’s the reason I write this column several weeks before the big day.
It’s time to think ahead and shop for the outdoor person on your list. Do they need a new cast iron skillet or possibly an electric smoker? How about a kit for starting a campfire anywhere? Luke’s column this week might help you decide. Photo by Luke Clayton
