Favorite Things: Outdoors & Wildlife

Here you’ll find durable clothing, footwear, packs, and survival gear plus things like binoculars, trail cams and bat boxes.


We want you to know if you buy something using the retail links in our posts, we may earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you). We will never recommend anything we don’t believe in. Not for all the butter in Sweden. You can read our full policy about these things or contact us if you have questions.

  • Filson Wool Mackinaw

    This coat has been made in Seattle since the Alaskan Gold Rush. It’s a time-honored, lifetime coat that keeps us warm and connected to a rich history.

  • Filson Packer Coat

    When it’s too warm to wear the wool mackinaw, it’s usually a great time of year to wear the packer coat. Made of a type of waxed canvas called tin cloth, this coat has lots of pockets and keeps the rain off without synthetic materials.

  • XTRATUF Clogs

    We love XTRATUF boots for the same reason they’ve become a northwest staple: They are comfortable for wearing long wearing in wet conditions, and they never get slippery. These clogs are perfect for quick trips outside.

  • Wireless Trail Camera

    This trail camera uses fewer batteries than many models and even has an app you can use to view footage from afar.

  • Cloud-based Trail Camera

    This trail camera can track data in the cloud with a simple additional plan.

  • Bird Bath

    More than anything, wild animals struggle to find water in the environment. This is a beautiful way to provide for them.

  • Bee House

    Pollinators are essential to thriving gardens. This bee house provides a variety of shapes and sizes for different bees to call home.

  • Bat House

    Bats are great to have around your homestead to help eat mosquitos and other insects. This bat house can hold up to 20 bats.

  • Woodpecker House

    Woodpeckers can be great neighbors - unless they try to drill into your siding. This is a wonderful alternative.
