Pink Camping and Hiking Gear

73

By Drwibble

As we all know when shopping for camping equipment there are many factors to take into consideration, such as weight, cost, size, reliability, usefulness. If you are a male then all of these are sensible and logical criteria to select your ideal camping gear. However, if you do go shopping for camping equipment with a female then you will soon realize that only criteria which carries the greatest weight when selecting camping gear is the color pink. So with this in mind, here are some pink camping gear for your viewing pleasure.

Pink Hiking Footwear

No Amazon products found

Gentle reminders to the female hiker that pink hiking footwear will not stay that color for long makes no difference if her eyes have caught the glint of pink.

Notice, how the pink shoe laces match the pink hiking boots. What more do you want, perfect color co-ordination. Pink hiking socks will be ideal compliment to your pink hiking boots.

However, a quick word of warning, once a single purchase of pink hiking gear has been made, you are on a fast and slippery slope. The phrase "Well, if I buy this pink fleece, it will match my pink walking boots" will soon be parting the lips of the female hiker.

Pink Hiking Backpack

Hydrapak Aqualine Hydration Backpack
Amazon Price: $44.99

My partner loves her pink rucksack as she knows that I would not been seen dead using it on permanent loan unlike some of her non-pink camping gear. However, what she does not realise is that if the load gets heavy, no way am I carrying a pink backpack, not even half way up a mountain during a hike.

Pink water bottle

Contigo AUTOSEAL Water Bottle, 24 Ounces, Pink
Amazon Price: $9.99
Contigo AUTOSEAL Water Bottle, 32-Ounce, Pink
Amazon Price: $12.64
List Price: $12.99
Trudeau Cool Off 24-Ounce Hydration Bottle, BCRF Pink
Amazon Price: $5.93
List Price: $11.50

Contaminated water, stagnant pond water, who cares when you have a pink water bottle to drink from. Through the transparent pinkness of the pink water bottle that brackishness water does not look too bad. mmmmm taste that pink freshness.

So you like hiking and seeing the great outdoors with all of its wild life in its natural habitat. Great so do I, therefore according to the female brain, logic dictates pink hiking clothing is a perfect camouflage to blend in with your natural surroundings. I am sure that bear will appreciate the effort you took to blend in whilst he eats your pink flesh.

In case you did not know, pink hiking clothing keeps your warmer, comfy and snug unlike those other inferior colors. (Allegedly)

An additional benefit to pink hiking clothes is that it allows you to spot any dirt on your clothes a lot easier than those dirty green and browns camouflage clothing.

Also don't forget pink hiking clothes will allow you to be more color co-ordinated with you other pink camping gear.

If you are looking for something as a gift for valentines day, Christmas or even her birthday for a women outdoors enthusiast then you can't go much wrong with pink camping gear and accessories. As when I asked my partner what she would like for christmas, she said "pink hiking boots", I naively replied "what sort?", she said "pink ones" So there you have it, Pink hiking gear makes the perfect gift.

Anyway back to pink outdoor accessories, At night you will be glad you have packed this pink torch to allow you to bask in the pinkness of your other pink camping gear. As they say "there is never enough daylight hours to appreciate the color pink."

Pink Pepper Spray is a great idea as when you have to spray your attacker. The last color they will ever see will be pink. If I had to go blind then a pink pepper spray would be my choice, you could not choose a better color to go blind with in my opinion.

Pink Outdoors knifes

Wenger Evolution Series Pink EVO Pocket Knife
Amazon Price: $21.95

You see not even a knife can be dangerous if it is colored pink. Nevertheless, if you did mange to accidentally cut yourself with a pink knife, don't panic as red blood would not clash too bad with all your pink camping gear.

An additional benefit is that if you misplace your pink knife in camp, it should be easy to spot amongst all your other pink camping gear.

Pink Sleeping gear

Grand Trunk The Pink Collection Silk Sleep Sack
Amazon Price: $49.99

This pink hammock and silk sleeping bag liner will allow you to have plenty of beauty sleep with lovely pink and fluffy dreams, so you wake up refreshed and ready to face the world for another day.

As you can see with pink camping gear you don't need to worry about all those other specifications written by the manufacturers, they are just added to keep the males happy. So, the next time you are buying your camping equipment, just think pink.

It was inspired from my girlfriend, in response to what would she like for Christmas, she said "pink hiking boots". I said "what sort", she said "pink ones".

Okay, not quite fair, but very funny. Your girlfriend trusts you! She knows you can find what is really needed and find it in pink, so don't be so hard on her! And really, would you like her so much if she DID NOT like pink? :)

I did find a nice pair of pink hiking boots for my girlfriend in the end. Lots of grip for the snowy/icy weather we have been having lately. I am lucky that she likes the outdoors as much as me.
