but only for a limited time. We’ve also curated a bunch of other great Prime Day deals on camping and outdoors.

The usually $64 Intex Challenger K1 is already discounted. But it gets a bigger price cut as Deal of the Day. You can save a total of $22 on this one-person inflatable kayak if you order before the time expires. The

complete set,

which includes the Challenger K1, an 84-inch aluminum oar, and a high-output manual hand pump, can also be bought on Amazon for $150.

Our beautiful country has many serene lakes and slow-moving rivers one can explore with a small watercraft. If you are planning to go on a solo backpacking trip somewhere with calm waters, the Intex Challenger K1 Kayak is a great addition to your gear. This kayak comfortably sits one adult weighing up to 220 pounds.

The Challenger K1 is made of heavy-duty, puncture-resistant vinyl. It is designed with two separate air chambers for stability and an inflatable I-beam floor for rigidity.

Once the kayak is inflated, it is easy to get cozy in the cockpit of this one-person kayak. Its seat even comes with a backrest and can be adjusted to your preference. But before you set out on your ride, be sure to attach the removable skeg and secure all your necessary gear in the kayak’s cargo net storage.

Amazon Prime free trial: Get an entire month for free

amazon discounts prime membership for us military and veterans

Shopping online is more popular than ever, and few destinations are as universally praised as Amazon. The retailer carries nearly every product under the sun, making it a one-stop shop for all your consumer needs. Whether you're searching for a new gaming laptop or a fancy robot vacuum, there's a good chance you'll find what you need at Amazon.

Most online shoppers have probably heard of Amazon Prime -- a monthly subscription service that gets you free two-day shipping, among other perks -- though you may have been put off by its hefty fees. Despite the monthly fee (which seems to grow larger every year), anyone who uses Amazon a few times a month will find the service to be a worthwhile investment. Coupled with access to Prime Video and Prime Reading, there's a lot of value packed into Amazon Prime.

Celestron telescope with its many attachments.

Want to level up your stargazing game? Right now is an interesting time to get into the hobby, with incredible images from the VLT Survey Telescope being released and new rockets being launched every few months. This Celestron StarSense Explorer DX telescope isn't going to give you views of planets in other solar systems, but it has a bunch of cool features to help new astronomers get excited about space. As part of Prime Day telescope deals, this Celestron is discounted from $470 to just $320. Grab it before Prime Big Deal Days are over.

Why you should buy the Celestron StarSense Explorer DX telescope during Prime Day
The biggest feature of the Celestron StarSense Explorer DX that makes it great for beginners is the ability to hook it up to your smartphone. Connecting your phone lets you use the app to get a guided tour of the sky. Just point the telescope up in the sky (on a clear night) and connect the app. Using StarSense technology, the telescope figures out exactly what it's looking at. It knows where you are in the world, what time it is, and what it's looking at. From there it can point you in the direction of interesting things to look at based on your location and time. This is great for people just starting out in the world of stargazing.

Prime Day in October: Get a pack of 12 AA rechargeable batteries for $18

AmazonsBasics AA batteries being inserted into a game controller.

As much as we try to avoid it, sometimes, you just have to buy those pesky household items you never want to spend money on. But if you're lucky, you can take advantage of some excellent discounts, like Prime Day deals, which provide the perfect opportunity to stock up. Amazon's Prime Day Big Deal Days event makes those discounts even sweeter. While we are close to an AA-battery-free world, it hasn't happened yet. Fortunately, we have a rechargeable option to spend less money and throw fewer batteries into landfills. Right now, you can get a 12-pack of Amazon Basic rechargeable batteries for just $18, thanks to a 10% discount on Prime Day. This deal will likely only stick around during the sale, so if your battery drawer is running low, grab them as soon as possible.

Why you should buy Amazon AA rechargeable batteries during the Prime Day Big Deal Days sale
Of course, there's not much I can tell you about batteries that you don't already know. These Amazon Basics brand AAs have a 2,000 mAh storage capacity. That's lower than a traditional alkaline battery, but it has enough power to last for a good three to four hours of continuous use. Then the rechargeable factor comes in. You can recharge these batteries about 1,000 times before they die out. Think about how many batteries it will save you -- and how much money. Let's do some quick napkin math. 1,000 recharges... alkaline batteries cost around one-third the price of a rechargeable... factor in the difference in storage capacity... It could be as much as $300 in savings over a single battery's lifetime. A lot less waste too.
