In our last edition of Off Road Xtreme’s Ultimate Fathers Day Gift Guide, we presented an assortment of high-end off-road gear. All of the latest equipment one would need for a successful outing on the trail is very necessary. Equally important is having good hand tools and adequate safety supplies.
Our fathers are pretty important to us. Off-roading is fun but it should be taken seriously. Having a well-equipped first aid kit and a working fire extinguisher on hand should not be overlooked. We want grumpy guts coming home eventually.
This specially designed 1Life Trauma First Aid Kit is made specifically for off-roaders, Jeepers, duners, and UTV enthusiasts. First developed for off-road desert racing made by racers, for racers, the 1Life Trauma First Aid Kit is dust-proof and crush-proof with a water-resistant, o-ring sealed, high-density plastic box.
The kit is well thought out and professionally equipped similarly to trauma kits costing $300 or more. The 1Life Trauma First Aid Kit sells for $200 with an optional cage mounting system available.
Fire extinguishers really should be in every vehicle, especially in off-road rigs. When selecting a rugged and durable fire extinguisher, it is not the best idea to go for the cheapest option. SafeCraft designs and manufactures high-quality fire suppression systems for motorsports, industry, marine, and aviation. Their products are tried and true in off-road racing which is why they get a mention here.
The SafeCraft Models PB3 / PB5Halotron™ I CLEAN AGENT fire extinguishers are 3-pounds and 5-pounds respectively. Unlike other extinguishers on the market, these SafeCraft extinguishers effectively suppress vehicle fires using a non-compacting liquid extinguishing agent. They are aluminum cylinders, manually activated, portable systems that can be flat mounted or fixed to a roll cage.
The optional quick-release bracket is custom-designed to offer the versatility of placement and ease of use. Just FLIP the lever, GRAB and GO for rapid deployment.
Safecraft produces each product by the highest manufacturing standards. Basically, this means it is all made out of super trick billet machined pieces. Dad will love it, but your wallet will suffer. The 3-pounder starts at $259. By the time you add a quick-release mount, it is over $500.
There is not a guy in the world who does not appreciate nice new tools. Every dad who ventures out on off-road adventures needs to be packing good reliable hardware. We recently came across Gerber’s Overland Collection of problem-solving gear and equipment. Gerber owns a strong and renewed reputation when it comes to its products. Soldiers deployed on the battlefield and first responders serving in the homeland rely on Gerber equipment every day.
If the gear is good enough for them, I feel confident recommending it for dads out on the trail.
A good compact digging tool is essential. I do not have enough fingers or toes to count how many times I have come across a vehicle buried up to the frame. In every scenario when a shovel was available, it was very helpful. For this reason, I always carry a compact folding shovel in my rig, and your dad should too!
The Gorge Folding Shovel from Gerber weighs in at only 28 ounces and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Gerber’s Fathers Day sale special price has it listed at $26.
Its ergonomic design reduces weight and improves grip for long-haul use, and the blade features machined relief for deeper cuts. Made out of forged steel and weighing in at 2.4-pounds, the Bushcraft Hatchet is a durable corrosion-resistant survival tool with a limited lifetime warranty. It is listed at $70.
Multi-Tools are my favorite piece of my on-person EDC. With these things usually costing a hefty investment, I spend a great amount of care, selecting the tool right for me. I typically clip it on the inside of my front pocket so I do not want something bulky. I just want it to work well packing the few tools useful to me. Most dads will likely find it useful too.
Gerber’s Center Drive multi-tool features a center-axis driver that opens to align like a real screw driver. It also boasts a complete bit set, spring-loaded pliers, is berry compliant, and comes with a sheath. The fact that it is made in America has me sold for $135.
A good fixed blade should be waste-side on every outing. I am a knife fanatic, and I am sure most dads are too. If your dad does not have a serrated edge, full tang 420HC steel blade, then it is time to consider the Gerber’s USA-made Strongarm.
When I hold this knife in my hands the first thing that stands out is the rubberized diamond-texture grip wrapped around the striking pommel. The Strongarm comes with an array of carrying options for traditional drop-leg, horizontal belt, or vertical molle system. It is a great buy at only $90 for a full tang steel blade made in Portland, Oregon.
Another cool thing is that Gerber allows for unlimited personalization of several of their top knife products including the Strongarm. The customization options include choosing from images, symbols, patterns, or uploading graphics to spur up dads old memories. To make this the perfect Father’s Day gift, text can be added for further personalization.
I can tell you right now if you want to change your dad’s life this coming Father’s Day, all you need to do is hand him one of these. The BOXO KOH Tool Bag with Tool Set, and Trail Bag is a super deluxe complete setup. This thing is loaded with an 80-piece metric tool kit of professional mechanic grade and comes with a solid lifetime warranty. The bag itself is stitched from high-quality Cordura® Nylon to ensure your tools stay organized and rattle-free.
Giving dad a full kit, organized, easy to access, and easy to stow away will make you the number one cherished child forever. Right now BOXO has this priced at $550. Online financing is offered to make small monthly payments and lesson the burden.
If your dad is anything like mine, he can barely see during broad daylight and he really struggles at night. When it gets dark, having ample lighting is so important. Having the ability to illuminate light where dad needs it when he needs it while being hands-free is both a time and a life saver. I consider a good headlamp at the top of my most essential gear provisions. Surefire is a top manufacturer of high-quality lighting products trusted by soldiers, search and rescue, first responders, and professionals everywhere.
Your dad would put to good use the Surefire Minimus Variable-Output Headlamp . The trick part of this device is the adjustable housing can rotate to angle light precisely where you need it. The push-button on/off switch offers variable of 5 to 300-lumen output. It can be worn with or without a helmet and it is a super durable hard-anodized aluminum water resistant body. Designed to last a lifetime, you are buying the Surefire quality product, the name and the price that comes with it at $199.
