Those freestanding hammock frames are pretty great, not everyone has trees at just the right distance to tie up to.

Oh yeah, absolutely. Thatβs what I use at my place, great investment.

Organic whole or skim?
turd_sculptor t1_j185hfz wrote
I think if you're staying true to the "fat ass in a glass" then the recipe calls for whole.
IamSauerKraut t1_j18u68o wrote
Wise choice. Skim is undrinkable.

I saw someone selling Maine-shaped boards at the Fryeburg fair a year or two ago that were really nice. Canβt find their card now of course! There was also someone (maybe the same vendor) who would custom cut signs in the shape of βyourβ lake. They had some precut of Sebago and other big lakes which was pretty cool. Can anyone refresh my memory for OP?

Oh yeah they're there every year! I might have a card, let me look around

Does he like like cheese? Some high end cheese with a cutting board.
Binoculars so he can check out whatβs happening across the lake.
A nice camp hatchet like the Estwing with a stacked leather handle. Useful, beautiful, and made in USA.
A Buck knife. Usually made in USA, lasts forever and whittling is a good way to pass the time by the fire pit. Even when friends are with you.
Nice flannel or chamois shirt.
Wool blanket.
A mechanical mantel or wall clock that chimes the hours.
A painting of a lake scene.
A freeze alarm that calls you when youβre away to let you know if thereβs a power outage or if the temperature drops below a certain level. Some even let you check the temperature of the cabin while youβre away.

+1 on the Estwing, they make a nice splitting hatchet with a fat wedge. Perfect for making kindling. Watch your fingers, straight from the factory they have a nice edge, and the mass makes even a small tap a bloodbath. (Use the typewriter above to describe the event in 3700 words.)

The Estwing hatchet is so beautiful, you don't even want to use it.

My 25 year old framing hammers are proof that you should. A 20 Oz. hammer and a Stanley Wonderbar are about the perfect gifts for a first time homebuyer. (OK, nobody buys a first home now...)

If you are going for fancy grab a weather station that works with wifi, if going more lowkey get them a mug or framed print that includes the lake outline

A warm coat, flannels, tools for repairs, a field guide to local plants/wildlife, fishing gear, hunting gear, wood for heat, sporting goods gift card, or anything of that nature.
Depending on the cabin (does it have heat, electricity, or other basics or is it more like a house with cable, internet, modern amenities?) you could get him a space heater, blankets, cookware, etc.
