Winner of the Geigerrig Giveaway

A couple weeks ago we posted an invitation on youtube and here on the blog to participate in our Geigerrig Giveaway. We had a couple video response entries and a bunch more via comments on the blog post and the youtube video. As always there were a few that unfortunately didn’t read the instructions and whose comments didn’t qualify.

After making a list and zipping over to random.org, we have a winner. Before we say who it was, we’d like to share the video responses and encourage you to head over to the comment section on the blog post and youtube video to find what other people are carrying as their backpacking system.

WHO WON THE CONTEST ALREADY?

A special thanks to everyone and congratulations to Steven Smith of Mylifeoutdoors.com. Drop me an email and we’ll work out shipping!

Geigerrig Giveaway – Celebrating 1500 youtube subscribers!

As of this morning, we have reached 1527 subscribers and over 400000 views on our youtube channel. We’re using the opportunity to giveaway an awesome hydration system, filter and pack by Geigerrig. It’s the Rig 500 including an inline filter, and it’s an awesome pack for your daily pursuits.


We posted a review and did a video about the bigger brother the Rig 700 on the Hydration summit where we looked at the benefits of a pressurized system that doesn’t require sucking to get hydrated and we can’t recommend the system enough. As for the backpack, it’s a comfortable and durable setup that you won’t be afraid to chuck around or be rough with.
A special thanks to Geigerrig for giving us a RIG 500 and filter to give away to one of our reader or followers.
Check out the video review below and the giveaway announcement above for more information on this great system that has won numerous awards. Read on for how to enter.

Here’s how to enter:
I want to know what your backpacking system is. By that, I mean your backpack, sleep system (sleeping bag, quilt, sleeping pad if you use one) and shelter. I’ll give you 1 entry for a comment and 5 for a video response.
The contest is open to anyone in North America. Anyone outside NA can enter, but will have to pay for shipping. Any customs fees will also have to be covered to the winner.
One more time:
  • Leave a comment below telling me what your backpacking system is (see above for more details)
  • or subscribe to our youtube channel and leave a comment on the youtube video (link here
  • or subscribe to our youtube channel and post a video response to the video (link again) showing the kit.
We’ll be running this one for 3 weeks (until the 14th of September) to give time for people to put together a video response. We’ll also be sharing the video responses on Facebook as we get the chance.

If you haven’t heard of the The Gear House, here’s the story:

The Gear House Profile

Chris Pund of Maryland started selling outdoor gear on ebay in college. His business quickly started growing and pretty soon he was working with a number of well-known brands, (Eagle Nest Outfitters, Light my Fire, Big Agnes, Adventure Medical Kits, Petzl, Granite Gear, and more).

After a while he started his own website, as well as making appearances at festivals and events throughout the Mid-Atlantic. They don’t have a physical store, but that keeps the prices lower and allows him to pass on a bigger discount to you and me! The Gear House also makes it a point to try out the products they sell. They don’t want to just sell a whole bunch of stuff. They sell equipment that you and I would be happy to use.

Check them out and look at the variety of outdoor gear that they sell. Oh and don’t forget the discount that he’s sharing with this code adventure211 for the next month.
