Touch Grass: These Walmart Buys Will Help Make Nature Your Entire Personality

Once you go binoculars, you never go back. It's insanely cool to get up close with birds, mountaintops, or treelines after decades spent vaguely squinting and commenting, "Wow, so pretty." A center dial makes focusing this pair easy (aka no expertise required), and the specially coated lenses help brighten everything up for better viewing. Whether you're an aspiring birder or just want to experience your next outdoorsy trek differently, these are an MVP waiting to happen.

You may have all the purses in the world, but do you have one appropriate for tucking in wild flowers or mushrooms? This adjustable sack is approximately the same size as your average cotton tote, but it's equipped with thick mesh and a sturdy bottom (to help avoid crushed goods). If your outdoorsy scavenge is more about finding pretty rocks or cool sticks, no shade. This works for that, too.

There's something special about cooking alfresco that makes even the most basic meals taste better (and your guests mega-impressed). This portable find weighs in just over 20 pounds and has foldable legs, so it can easily be propped up anywhere. And while it's billed as a pizza oven, you can use it for veggies, tarts, desserts…the sky is the limit.

If your new thing involves patiently waiting and observing, you'll probably want someplace to chill. The classic folding chair is still the best in the game due to its easy-to-use, lightweight design. This one has a backrest and a bevvie holder, and comes in colorways that match your style.

Dad style has always been low-key cool, and when it comes to prepping for extra hours in the elements, it's his floppy fish hat that we're coveting. It's a simple shape with some performance-minded features that fashion-forward styles probably won't include: a drawstring to make sure gusts of wind don't send you scrambling, and a mesh ring at the top to help with ventilation.

Blank pages to scribble or sketch are always a good idea. Whether your new hobby is about botany or birds (or just sitting and looking for some really great shapes in the clouds), it's going to be easier to dive in deeper if you have a spot to jot it all down. This is the perfect size for backpacks and totes, and the top spiral bind is ideal for flipping.

We all know sunscreen is non-negotiable every day—and especially so when you're logging extra hours outside. So toss any expired bottles and refresh your bag with a brand-new one. This one pulls double duty with its moisturizing formula. And it even kinda smells like vacation.

Imagine you just spent an epic morning in the great outdoors, getting your fill of nature and adventure and whatever else is tickling your fancy. You go to switch your phone off do-not-disturb so you can tell the relevant parties that you're headed back into reality when, crap, you realize it's dead. There's definitely no open outlet in sight out here, but fear not: With this handy solar charger tucked into your bag, you'll be back online and sharing your location in no time.

For anyone who's ever dreamt of growing their own flowers or fresh veggies, please consider this a sign from the universe to start getting dirty. Get into it with this eight-piece set—nine, if you count the cute carrying case.

All water bottles are not created equal, and once you try one that can be sipped with its built-in straw or tilted back for a big ol' slug, well, you won't want to drink any other way. (It's all about options, people.) The leakproof design and triple-layer insulation mean you can throw this in your bag without worrying whether you're headed for leak city.
