‘Tis the season — to not suck for once. Ditch the ties or lame gift cards to the Olive Garden. Throw away the gag underwear or those ugly fuzzy slippers. This year, get the killers and adventurers in your life a gift that packs more sack than the fat man himself.

So go ahead, spike that eggnog, rack the slide, and let’s go! This is the Field Ethos Holiday Gift Guide.

2025 FE Holiday Gift Guide​

Alp 50 Cal Wintergreen 9mg Ammo Can​

Alp Ammo Can


You know that ol’ saying — “Open up a 50-pound drum of whoop-ass.” Well, Alp has you covered with a .50-Cal can of the same. The Alp 50 Cal Wintergreen 9mg Ammo Can puts 40 tins of nicotine goodness into an American military symbol of straight badassery. This is the gift the people want — and desperately need, especially when the in-laws arrive.

Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbine​

Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbine


Nut up this Christmas and get the dude/veteran/red-blooded American in your life a true piece of G.I. history. The M1 Carbine helped smack down the Axis powers and saw good use in Korea as well. Find a surplus G.I. sling and magazine pouch for the ultimate range day warrior. Only a legit battlefield gun can beat it. But this Auto-Ordnance M1 is the one you’ll want to shoot with your Montucky-drinking buddies.

Barrett Model 82A1​

Barrett Model 82A1


If you’re shopping for the gun nerd who has everything, and you got a fat wallet, why not get the very best. Then shoot for the moon, and with this gift you can nearly hit it, with the Barrett Model 82A1. The big Barrett .50 screams American military might. Own this and you get to harness 32 pounds of recoil-operated, semi-automatic thunder, launching a lead pipe of a bullet way, way downrange. Finding a place to stretch her legs will be your biggest problem. But that’s a good problem to have.

FE X Chicken Cock Clash of the Casks​

FE X Chicken Cock Clash of the Casks


The ultimate kickin’ chicken, FE partnered with Chicken Cock to bundle a single-barrel bourbon versus a single-barrel rye. Old school boxing inspired, with hints of Prohibition thrown in for good measure, the Clash of the Casks bundle pairs some seriously good whiskey. Only 500 of these bad boys will ever exist. So get ‘em while you can.

Hogue EX-T01 Tomahawk​

Hogue EX-101 Tomahawk


Hogue makes some serious blades, whether fixed, folder or specific for filleting fish or boning out game. Whatever your outdoor passion, they got you covered aplenty — great for any Christmas stocking. Or you can dial up your badass to a thousand and grab your killer/adventurer an EX-101 Tomahawk. Keep it in the back of the truck, affix it to your pack, or stow it for setting up camp — the tomahawk remains an extremely versatile tool for outdoorsmen. Hogue also offers hammer, spike and pry bar attachments as accessories, so you can fit your tomahawk for mission/adventure-specific needs.

Horse Soldier Bourbon​

Horse Soldier bourbon


You can’t talk badass without mentioning, in high regard, the bourbon that is Horse Soldier. On 9/11, terrorists sounded a call answered by elite warfighters training on the Cumberland River. Some of them delivered the first retaliatory blows, famously on horseback, in Afghanistan. Today, that spirit lives in Kentucky’s Pulaski County, distilling that famed brown liquor. The story alone is worthy. But it’s a damn good pour as well.

FE X Henry SPD CRUSR Rifle​

FE x Henry SPD CRUSR


FE and Henry teamed up to create what we think is the ultimate rough country rifle. Chambered in .45-70, the FE x Henry SPD CRUSR packs serious punch to take down toothy critters from Africa to Alaska. Weighing 6.7 pounds and measuring 32.25 inches overall, it rides in packs and trucks with ease. It features a stainless-steel barrel tension-wrapped in carbon fiber. Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) and Midnight Bronze Cerakote finishes, along with the FE logo, round out this workhorse.

Yamaha Viking EPS​

Yamaha Viking EPS


When it comes to offroad capability, it’s pretty tough to beat a Yamaha side-by-side. For a hunting machine, the Utility line includes the EPS series. It comes in Tactical Green, so it’s already colored right for hunting pursuits. Better still, it harnesses a 686cc engine and an 84.1-inch wheelbase. On-demand 2WD, 4WD or locked 4WD gives you the ability to traverse whatever boulder, stream or neighbor’s fence line gets in your way. The EPS tows up to 1,500 pounds, and the stamped-steel dump bed handles 600 pounds of meat and gear. So, it’ll easily haul your scraggly spike back to camp.

Taurus 605 Executive Grade​

Taurus 605 Executive Grade


The GX2 is a badass carry gun, the 650 the perfect shower gun, and the Taurus Deputy is just really cool. But if you want something a bit different, the Taurus 605 Executive Grade stands apart. Chambered in .357 Magnum, this hand-built pistol is legit enough to serve as that beside defender or carry gun. Pair it with some high-end leather and make your friends seriously jealous next range day.

SCI Membership​

Love hurts in Africa.


Want to preserve our legacy? Then gift a membership to SCI, the leading organization out there defending our freedom to hunt. SCI promotes sustainable-use wildlife conservation around the globe. That translates into protecting the animals and their habitats. And pulling the trigger and hanging heads on the wall.

FE Outrider​

Outrider-Lead-1024x576.png


Once you’ve aligned yourself to protect all we love, you might as well double down on the hunt, fishing trip or adventure of a lifetime. With FE Outrider, we’ve done all the homework for you. Our listings feature the very best outfitters, guides and experiences from Africa to Alaska. From running with the bulls to chasing the salmon run, FE Outrider delivers the experience and memories in which we sufferers of wanderlust all search.

Steyr AT Pistols​

Steyr Pistols


This all-new pistol line from Steyr is still flying under the radar a bit, so jump on it now and have something on the range few of your buddies can match. The ATd is an aluminum-framed SA/DA carry gun, and the Compact Comp in that line gave our tester wicked John Wick vibes. Meanwhile, the ATc brings competition-level bells and whistles. The steel-framed, full-size blaster rocks a 5-inch barrel and is built to dominate your peers.

Field Ethos Print Journal​


Get your subscription to the premier lifestyle publication for the unapologetic man. It’s like a really good cocktail—a strong pour of adventure, mixed with history, travel, products and time afield. We even throw in a garnish—a back issue for free as our little way of saying thanks, and welcome to Field Ethos. The secret sauce? We may know our way around a bottle of Pappy, but we can still get down with Mad Dog 20/20. We’re classy like that.
