11 Products Every Outdoor Enthusiast Will Love

We love nature, and spending time amongst the trees, fresh air, and crisp breeze can do a lot for the soul. Whether it’s going out for a few blissful hours, or taking off for a weekend or even longer, it’s always a welcome reset button to immerse ourselves in all that nature has to offer.
If you enjoy spending time hiking, camping and being in the great outdoors, you know how important it is to come prepared. There are so many things to think about – bug spray, fresh drinking water, sunscreen, snacks – the list goes on!
That’s why we’ve created a list of hiking and outdoor essentials so you can make sure your bases are covered and spend more time enjoying what you love – being out in nature.
Here are 11 great products to make the most of your hiking and outdoor activities:
Miracle Essential Oils Single Oils
Did you know that you can use essential oils to keep insects and mosquitos at bay without the toxic chemicals found in most bug sprays? Just apply geranium, eucalyptus and citronella essential oils topically or combine a few drops each (to your desired scent) in a spray bottle filled with a carrier oil (such as almond oil) for a safe and effective DIY insect repellant. Miracle Essential Oils has a great line of high-quality single essential oils and blends.
