Ever wondered what's on the wishlist of the Founder of an outdoors brand? We got the inside scoop from Shaun Lynch, owner of Dog & Gun Coffee, outdoors expert, and self-confessed gear addict.
Shaun’s eyeing some practical items for adventures in wild places as well as the urban jungle, from an advanced smart watch, to stylish and practical boots, and a versatile grill for cooking outdoors. Scroll down to discover what’s on Shaun’s wishlist right now.
Garmin Fēnix® 7 Pro Sapphire Solar Edition
This watch does so much more than just tell the time… it can track your health stats, navigate with GPS, connect with your phone and even charges with the sun, giving a battery life of up to 22 days. The Titanium with chestnut leather band looks premium.
Cobb Grill Gas Bundle
We’re always cooking outdoors and when I saw our friends rocking one of these Cobb Grills at camp, I was super impressed with how versatile they are. You can grill, bake, fry, steam and even roast with them.
Modern Pirate Hair + Beard Serum
I’m not a huge fan of oil in my beard, so this serum from Modern Pirate looks perfect for keeping it healthy and hydrated without feeling oily.
Yeti Rambler French Press
Durable, double-wall insulated and looks slick. I don’t brew French press style as much as I should but with this in the kit, that would definitely change.
Blundstone 585 Boots
Comfortable, hard-wearing and easy to get on and off. The Classic 585 (in Rustic Brown) would be stylish enough for the office but also rugged and suitable when out in the field.
Leatherman Arc Multi-Tool
Not a day goes by where I don’t need quick access to some kind of tool. I don’t know why I haven’t already got one of these but the Leatherman Arc has 20 tools, is one-hand operable, has a pocket clip and should be super durable.
Peak Designs Slide Camera Strap
I’m already running the Peak Designs Capture System for carrying my Sony camera on my belt or pack… but sometimes you just want to run a camera strap. The Peak Designs Slide looks really slick and comfortable.
reMarkable 2
This is a much better idea than the 200 post-it notes and 4 different notepads. I’m currently rocking the reMarkable 2 for scribbling ideas, planning and taking meeting notes.
Alton Goods Midweight Merino Socks
Spend a lot of time walking up and down hills in boots and you’ll soon learn how important good socks are. I’m a fan of these Merino ones because it keeps you warm even when wet, is odour-resistant and bonus points because it’s a sustainable resource.
Dog & Gun Pre-Loaded™ Drip Filters
I might be a bit biased but the Pre-Loaded Drip Filters from Dog & Gun make having a quality brew on the go a real treat. Filled with Specialty-grade coffee and sealed for freshness, there’s no excuse for crappy go-go juice no matter where your adventures take you. Just add hot water.
