With the holidays quickly approaching, I thought I would do some research into the top best gifts for hikers and campers!

5. Solar Camping Shower Bag- Basically this is a bag of light and heat absorbing material that holds water. You leave the bag out in the sun, which absorbs UV rays, thus heating the water on the inside. Solar showers usually come with some kind of nozzle to turn it into a shower spray, and a loop or strap to hang it up above you.
