How to Choose the Best Outdoor Deals During Cyber Monday

There was a time when we’d say — unless you were buying a gift that needed to be under the tree on Christmas Day — wait until post-holiday sales to buy camping, kayaking, backpacking, sports, or other equipment to get you through the year. Those days are long gone. Retailers recognize that it’s better to keep their inventory on the lean side to begin with; then get in early and offer great deals to consumers before the holidays, starting 2021 with a svelte inventory figure. 

  1. Make a list and check it twice. Take a quick look at your outdoor needs. What’s missing? What needs an upgrade? Check out social media and your favorite gear sites for recommendations, then look for brand or retailer websites for deals. Check ‘em early (starting now) and often. Put together a budget for how much you might be willing to spend, and prioritize your list.
  2. Once you find a great deal on something you’re looking for, take note of when a sale might expire. Are you getting that extra 10% off for adding your email to a mailing list? Every dollar counts, and you may end up being emailed about some great last-minute sales. 
  3. When you find a deal that fits your budget, jump on it. Some of the best deals of the season will be on that upcoming magical Black Friday or Cyber Monday, so don’t take a chance that the product will be sold out before the weekend.

Where to Find the Best Outdoor Sales

First, keep checking us out here at The Manual as we continue to update this and other Cyber Monday deal stories. We’re bargain shoppers, too, so we’re constantly on the prowl for the best deal. 

Second, watch the big boys:

  • Amazon: Outdoor enthusiasts will find all their outdoor and camping gear needs online with special discounted items on fishing, hunting, and camping gear.
  • Walmart: Because so many retailers (particularly brick-and-mortar) canceled or reduced orders when Main Street, USA closed up during the pandemic, brands are stuck with inventory that was already in the supply chain pipeline. To be blunt, their loss is your gain. Brands will be marking down products so they can move it out and recoup their losses. Definitely check out Walmart and other top merchants.

Third, check brand websites. Cyber Monday is when retailing works in your favor. With a focused, disciplined approach you’ll be spending 2021 in the great outdoors with some awesome, brand new toys.

This 29-inch copper fire pit is over $50 off for Target’s Long Weekend sale
29 inch copper fire pit from National Tree Company

As part of Target's Long Weekend sale, also a Labor Day sale, the retailer has discounted a ton of great outdoor gear and furniture. If you want to browse that section yourself, . One great deal I came across, in particular, is for a 29-inch copper fire pit with stand and screen from the National Tree Company. It's a simple but incredible way to get a nice fire going just in time for Fall -- Summer is coming to an end here. Usually $145, which is a bit high, you can instead pick it up for $87 saving you $58. That's an awesome deal.

 
Why you should shop this 29-inch copper fire pit deal at Target
This non-permanent fire pit is a simple and easy way to set up a little fire area in your backyard. Make sure you have plenty of room around it, and don't put it too close to your house. But once it's all set up, you're golden, almost figuratively because this has a copper steel painted finish. It adds warmth and an ambiance to any outdoor seating area.

Jackery SolarSaga 40 mini solar panel with power station connected

We cover power stations a lot here at The Manual, both organically with hands-on coverage and deals coverage, because they usually have some excellent discounts floating around. Well, today, we have something a little different for you and it's a great buy if you already own a Jackery power station. Thanks to Target's Long Weekend sale, which is really a Labor Day sale in disguise, you can save big on a Jackery SolarSaga 40 Mini solar panel. Normally $130, it's only $100 today saving you $30. But with that power station it will save you even more money. How? You can plug it in and charge the station via solar power despite its compact and lightweight design. Heck yeah.

 
Why would you shop this Jackery SolarSaga 40 Mini solar panel deal at Target?
Assuming you have a Jackery power station, and I firmly believe everyone should have some kind of backup power handy, this SolarSaga 40 panel will plug right into it. Why does that matter? Well, normally, you'd power up the station and charge the battery by plugging it into an outlet. But with a panel like this, you can truly go off-grid. So if you're living in a van or in the wilderness somewhere, you can still use your favorite electronics, small appliances, and more. If you're living in a hurricane or storm alley, like I am, when the power goes out, you can keep your precious gear powered up, and a power station charged via solar.
