Does his idea of “the great outdoors” involve a pub garden? Challenge him with the Heimplanet Mavericks tent. For the price of a decent used car, this isn’t camping; it’s a portable fortress. Designed to withstand 180 km/h winds, it’s hilariously over-engineered for a British summer but perfect for surviving a music festival or a toddler’s tantrum. With more floor space than a London studio flat, he can set up this solo expedition basecamp in minutes. It’s the ultimate gift for the man planning to conquer Everest, or more likely, just wants to exile the in-laws.
