What’s important to your hunter? Some of the reasons why the hunter in your life enjoys being outdoors are the thrill of the hunt and the survival instincts that kick in when out in the wilderness. Hunting, like other outdoor activities, depends on being properly prepared. A novice hunter is usually shown by a more experienced hunter how to survive, stalk, shoot, trap, cook, build a shelter and pass the time in a deer stand. There’s a lot that goes into hunting, but the most important thing to remember when shopping for gifts for hunters is preparedness.
Hunting Means Being Prepared For Anything
Imagine you are sitting in a forest, high up in a tree. The light is fading, and you have yet to make your first kill. You’re sore, hungry and tired. It’s time to gather up all your gear, climb down from your tree stand, and then make the walk back to camp. For most hunters, this means first finding your flashlight or headlamp. Most hunters will have one of these two items on hand in their breast pocket or in any easy to reach zippered pocket of their pack. Instead, you reach to the bill of the hat you’ve been wearing all day and squeeze: instantly and effortlessly you have a clear beam of light illuminating all your gear, and in addition, one less thing to worry about.
A Powercap, a hat outfitted with a light source ranging anywhere from 42 to 181 lumens, is the perfect upgrade for the hunter in your life. Gifts for hunters are notoriously hard to select. Sure, there are tons to choose from, but finding one that will be useful is hard to find. An upgrade to an existing product may just be the next bulls eye gift you’ve been looking for.
More Than A Headlamp
Headlamps are useful because they free up your hands while providing a clear light source. The problem with headlamps, and the reason why they need to be upgraded, is they’re uncomfortable. A headlamp has to fit over a baseball cap, winter/fleece/wool cap, or worse still, a bucket style hat. Fitting headlamps over caps is uncomfortable and inefficient. The bill of the hat often obstructs the light beam; the fitting straps often pull at the felt caps allowing cold air in and adjusting straps to fit your hat/head in the cold can be downright frustrating. Powercaps come in all the styles, colors and camouflage configurations and make a great gift.
