We take our gear and gift guides seriously here at The RV Atlas. But we don't believe in excessive consumerism around the holidays either (at least Stephanie doesn't!). For us, it is not about buying a lot of gifts for the ones we love--but it is about buying the right gifts at the right price points. On this gear guide we are focusing on the needs and desires of gentlemen campers! These are fancy (but mostly affordable) gifts for men that love to work hard and play hard. Those are great gifts for fancy men that love to shop and are not afraid to moisturize. These are classic gifts for men who love to walk around the campground with a bit of style--and perhaps a splash of something fancy in their coffee cups!

Stephanie literally ran a mile away when I suggested this topic--so I decided to call upon my dear friend and fellow man shopper Jon Anderson.  He is a gentlemen camper through and through and I knew he would have classy and sensible gift ideas to share. To say that he knocked it out of the park would be an understatement.

After Jon's list of gifts I have my own list to offer my gentleman camper friends!

To listen to Jon and Jeremy discuss their lists and take themselves and their man gear WAY TOO SERIOUSLY, click on the media player above or subscribe to The RV Atlas wherever you get your podcasts. Or just read on right here! All of the gifts are listed below.

Happy holidays to all of the Gentlemen Campers out there and to the women and children that tolerate their many trips to Cabela's, L.L. Bean, Ace Hardware, Sharper Image, or wherever it is that they go to run "errands" on a Saturday afternoon!

Jon's List of Classic Holiday Gifts for Gentlemen Campers

OneBlade Wet-Shave Razor ($20)

It's 2020 and Jon is all about self-care this year. And for many men like Jon, self-care starts with a good shave at home. His recommendation in this department is based on a classic design--the single sided safety razor. This is how our grandpappies shaved in the 20's and 30's. When it comes to a good wet shave Jon loves the OneBlade “Core” for 20 bucks. You can also get a razor with 10 blades for 30 bucks. A pack of 30 extra blades is $30 on Amazon. Jon says he has tried them all--and this one is by far the best for a clean and comfortable shave.

Grip6 American Made Belts ($35)

Real gentlemen shave with their pants on and their pants up. And what man wants to walk around the campground with saggy pants? Not me--and not Jon Anderson. That's why Jon recommends Grip6 American made belts--especially for those of us whose weight fluctuates throughout the winter--and perhaps even over the course of the day. Grip6 belts do not have notches. So they are more flexible and personalized based on waist size. They are also stylish and reliable--much like the gentleman camper in your life. Jon loves the "Men’s Classic Combo Pack" for $87. Because three belts are always better than one. They sell individually for about 35 bucks each.

Ridge Aluminum Wallet ($75 and up)

I have never owned a wallet that I really loved. The ones I have owned never fit all of my credit cards and camping club memberships without them spilling out of the sides. Jon, however, has fallen in love with his Ridge Aluminum Wallet for 75 bucks. This wallet is so slim and portable that he often forgets it is in his pocket. This wallet is practical and stylish, but its not exactly cheap. But Jon thinks it is worth every penny. You will too.

Muck Boots ($78 and up)

When Jon first shared his list with me these boots jumped out as something that I too would love. Muck Boots are rugged and well built for men who do physical work, but they are also stylish and comfortable for men who just want to keep their feet warm while walking their dog around a muddy state park campground.
