Impervious to a “honey do” list, Father’s Day is the perfect time for Dad to park the mower and hop in the boat, pitch a tent, or open up some cool gifts for the outdoors that he either doesn’t have, or need major upgrading.

Outdoor News has options below that are sure to please him before he fires up the grill.

PEET DRYER

Wet boots don’t just ruin a hunt – they make Dad unbearable to live with. The PEET M-97 Original Shoe/Boot Dryer solves that problem quietly and completely, using gentle convection heat to dry footwear overnight. He can leave it running 24/7 without a second thought – boots come out dry, odor-free, and ready to go the moment he slips out the door.

It’s not just for hunting, either. After a soggy soccer game with the grandkids or a long day on the job, the PEET Original Shoe/Boot Dryer keeps every pair of boots and shoes in the house fresh and ready. And for the waterfowler or fly fisherman on your list, let the PEET Original Wader Dryer tackle waders too — because even the best waders trap sweat from the inside out, and nobody wants to pull on a damp pair at 4 a.m. Made in St. Maries, Idaho, USA.

RETAY

Retay has released the Asend Rimfire, which is engineered for the discerning marksman who demands out-of-the-box accuracy at an affordable price (just like Dad likes).

By merging Retay’s legendary “Deep Bore Drilling” technology with a modular, modern chassis and furniture system, the Asend is poised to become a new standard for hunters and long-range enthusiasts alike. The Hunter model is available in classic walnut, and the Sporter model is available in synthetic stock with a 10-round rotary magazine, which is compatible with the Ruger 10/22 magazine.

POCLINK

Just in time for Dad’s trips to Canada, “Up North” or maybe even a sports event that doesn’t have solid WiFi, Poclink, a U.S.-based communication technology company, is redefining what a two-way radio can do.

The POC-1 series ditches the range limitations and dead zones of traditional walkie-talkies by running push-to-talk communication over LTE cellular networks – delivering instant, crystal-clear team communication with virtually no distance limit. Instead of transmitting radio waves between devices, Poclink routes communication through the LTE cellular network.

One button, and Dad’s voice reaches the whole crew instantly. Whether they’re 500 feet or 500 miles apart, Mom always knows he’s safe. There is no FCC license required and it works in 80+ countries where LTE is available with no monthly fee.
