The couple hasn't shared any additional details on the engagement or their upcoming wedding plans, but it wouldn't be surprising if they celebrated their big day outdoors. In April, Bubba teamed up with Amazon Amazon Sports + Outdoors to curate his own storefront. It's a one-stop shop for your camping, hiking, and fishing needs with great picks from brands including Columbia, Beats, and Coleman. Now that summer is in full swing, it's time enjoy the sunshine and to stock up on some outdoor essentials, but there are just so many products to choose from. That's where Bubba comes in with his product picks.

Bubba shared that he loves being outdoors "just to get away from reality," explaining that "being able to escape and relax and just enjoy the sites and scenes just gives you a piece of serenity."

Bubba's favorite items are must-haves for camping enthusiasts, but they can also be used at tailgates, outdoor concerts, and beach outings. Check out his picks and race over to Amazon.
