Here are our top picks to help you make the most of your time outdoors:

Best outdoor stove deal

Why we like it

Watching Outlast gave me a new appreciation for kitchen appliances. If you plan on making anything more complicated than s’mores over a campfire, you might want to consider getting an outdoor camp stove.

The Eureka Ignite 2-Burner Camp Stove is 40% off and has everything you need to make a proper meal. It has 10,000 BTUs, a push-button ignition (so literally anyone can use this thing), and a stainless steel drip tray for a quick and easy cleanup. It’s also compact, portable (only 10 pounds), and durable.

Best tent deal

Why we like it

Unless you have a camper or RV, a quality tent should probably be the first thing on your list when gearing up for a camping trip.

Mashable Deals

The North Face Wawona 4 Tent is spacious enough to fit four people, but compact enough to fit nicely into a stuff sack when not in use. It has two doors, a double-wall construction (which you’ll appreciate if it rains or gets windy), a large vestibule to store gear or set up a makeshift living room, and color-coded poles for easy set-up.

Best smartwatch deal

Why we like it

Camping isn’t the only way to enjoy nature. You can also go for a run or a hike and reap the same benefits. If you want to track your activity (whether for fitness or just curiosity), a smartwatch can help you do that.

The Garmin Forerunner 55 GPS Running Watch isn’t the most advanced watch on the market, but it does have hundreds of reviews and a two-week battery life (without GPS mode; 20 hours with). The PacePro feature gives you real-time, adaptive pace guidance to help you hit your goals, and the heart monitor can track your training and recovery.
