How to Choose the Best Outdoor Deals During Cyber Monday

There was a time when we’d say — unless you were buying a gift that needed to be under the tree on Christmas Day — wait until post-holiday sales to buy camping, kayaking, backpacking, sports, or other equipment to get you through the year. Those days are long gone. Retailers recognize that it’s better to keep their inventory on the lean side to begin with; then get in early and offer great deals to consumers before the holidays, starting 2021 with a svelte inventory figure. 

  1. Make a list and check it twice. Take a quick look at your outdoor needs. What’s missing? What needs an upgrade? Check out social media and your favorite gear sites for recommendations, then look for brand or retailer websites for deals. Check ‘em early (starting now) and often. Put together a budget for how much you might be willing to spend, and prioritize your list.
  2. Once you find a great deal on something you’re looking for, take note of when a sale might expire. Are you getting that extra 10% off for adding your email to a mailing list? Every dollar counts, and you may end up being emailed about some great last-minute sales. 
  3. When you find a deal that fits your budget, jump on it. Some of the best deals of the season will be on that upcoming magical Black Friday or Cyber Monday, so don’t take a chance that the product will be sold out before the weekend.

Where to Find the Best Outdoor Sales

First, keep checking us out here at The Manual as we continue to update this and other Cyber Monday deal stories. We’re bargain shoppers, too, so we’re constantly on the prowl for the best deal. 

Second, watch the big boys:

  • Amazon: Outdoor enthusiasts will find all their outdoor and camping gear needs online with special discounted items on fishing, hunting, and camping gear.
  • Walmart: Because so many retailers (particularly brick-and-mortar) canceled or reduced orders when Main Street, USA closed up during the pandemic, brands are stuck with inventory that was already in the supply chain pipeline. To be blunt, their loss is your gain. Brands will be marking down products so they can move it out and recoup their losses. Definitely check out Walmart and other top merchants.

Third, check brand websites. Cyber Monday is when retailing works in your favor. With a focused, disciplined approach you’ll be spending 2021 in the great outdoors with some awesome, brand new toys.

Camping just got a lot easier … with a shoe organizer?
Here's how a shoe organizer can make your camping trip great
Shoe organizer

Camping is all about adventure and relaxation, but nothing ruins the experience faster than a messy campsite. If you've ever found yourself rummaging through bags for your flashlight or struggling to keep your hygiene items off the ground, a hanging shoe organizer can help.

Personally, I love shoe organizers. As someone who lives in a shoebox apartment, they are an absolute must to keep my shoes tidy and tucked away. But believe it or not, they are actually pretty handy at keeping the chaos at bay when you go camping, too. Here's everything you need to know about camping with a shoe organizer.

Helinox reimagined its OG packable camp chair (again) with the Chair One (re)
Even stronger, more stable, and more eco-friendly, this is the last camp chair you may ever need to buy.

Packable camp furniture (everything from chairs to tables to folding camp sofas) is so ubiquitous in the loadouts of almost every backpacker, car camper, and overlander these days. Improving on such a simple concept might seem impossible, but that's exactly what the good folks at Helinox have done with their latest Chair One (re) camp chair.

Helinox, the California brand that singlehandedly kicked off the packable camp furniture craze with the debut of the Chair One, has reimagined and redesigned it as the Chair One (re). This latest iteration adds a number of improvements, including dual-tension technology. It's essentially a second tension line within the chair's perimeter that better distributes weight for improved stability and comfort. The company further redesigned the nylon resin hubs and a 30% taller underseat crossbar. The result? It's much easier to get in and out of, plus there's no more wobbling on soft sand beaches and uneven campsite ground. The new Chair One High-Back (re) offers the same improvements, plus better shoulder and upper-back support.

The Naledi is a tiny teardrop travel trailer that’s surprisingly big on views
With matching "floor-to-ceiling" windows, this pint-sized towable offers more panoramic views than most.

It's getting hard for even the best teardrop travel trailers to stand apart from the crowd these days. That's why Naledi Campers decided to go big with its namesake model, with some of the biggest and best views of any pint-sized towable on the market.

The most standout feature of the Naledi Camper is also its most visible. The South African RV maker bookends its design with two large, nearly floor-to-ceiling glass windows — one on either side of the cabin. Unlike traditional teardrop trailers that can feel dark and cramped, the Naledi offers more than twice the glass. This ensures a bright, airy interior with panoramic views of whatever epic campsite you happen to be overnighting at. Two awnings are included, one with drop-down sides for extra privacy.
