2. Kokopelli Delta Roll Top Dry Bags
You can never have enough dry bags. They keep your gear clean and dry on the river. They also make great all around little bags for taking to the gym or even slinging over your shoulder for short hikes.
The Floater ammo can is a great gift for dad, because let’s be honest, what dad doesn’t love fire? It is one of the best things to bring camping on the river. It’s a quick and easy set up, super warm, and is a great to gather around with friends and family. While the fire can and propane tank are a little too big to fit inside the packraft to carry down the river, it’s great for after paddling or having a friend in a full-size raft take it down on your next multi day river trip

The Modl Infinity tool is a multipurpose strap that you can use to connect almost anything. It's great for strapping bags to the D-rings on your packraft, or clipping a water bottle to your backband, or lashing a bike to the bow of your packraft.
Dads love dogs! So make sure his pup is also safe out on the riverDog life jackets are great to have. Even if your dog can swim it helps keep them floating easier. It also has a handle on the top making it easier to help pull your pup back into your packraft.
