His book is beautifully presented, and for less than $40 your old man will have all the know-how on campfire chilli crab, top-notch burgers, and the secret sauce behind cooking up a storm on open coals.

Muk Mat 

Whether Dad’s a swag man, a rooftop tent kinda bloke, or likes a good old-fashioned tent, the Muk Mat is an absolute must-have! The Muk Mat uses a clever combination of synthetic grass-style polyethylene yarn to quickly scrub your shoes or feed free of sand, mud, or any other gunk dad doesn’t want stuffed in the bottom of his sleeping bag. They’re one of those products that are so simple, yet so good. There are a few different sizes from tiny little tackers that’ll fit on a caravan or camper trailer step. Right up to huge 1.2m long extra large offerings. You can get him a medium today for as little as $70.
