Loading ...The one thing all of us that visit this blog, and Outdoorzy have in common is an appreciation for the outdoors. A love of being outside and taking part in an active lifestyle. We can all agree on that. But I believe one other thing that is a very close 2nd at binding us all is our love of the gear that gets us out there.
So this week I will be attending the Outdoor Retailer conference in Salt Lake City, UT. For the uninitiated this is the big trade show that the outdoor industry holds each year. All the new gear is debuted, new companies launch, the gear that was new this year is upgraded, and people shmooze.
My goal this week is to gain entry to this show, visit every booth (probably thousands), blog multiple times a
day, and keep all of you up-to-date on what is coming out for 2009. Just imagine, this year, you can be that one friend that is always like "..oh, did you say the Moutain Hardwear Goat Jacket? Yeah I know that one, has the fleece liner and the built in martini bar in the inside pocket." Yes you! You'll be the coolest Outdoorzy friend on your block. You can show your friends you're the real deal, not Matthew McConaughey outdoorsy. No need to drive an old Land Rover Discovery, or leave your canoe on your roof rack all week. You'll have the 4-1-1 and can talk the talk. 
Anywho, in celebration of this event we want to give you some Gear. The first 3 people to enter 8 gear reviews before Friday night will win one of three prize packs. The prize packs are like outdoorsy grab bags. They are each going to be a high quality daypack full of little gear items. Who knows what you'll 
get... clothing, guidebooks, headlamps, solar chargers, mp3 players, t-shirts, shoes, water filter??? Gear freebies I pick up to review at this trade show will go into the 3 daypacks. You'll be the first one to get your hands on some of these items.
So get hoppin! And your gear review doesn't count if you half-ass it. Don't review your new climbing harness and say "It was great, it kept me alive" We want more detail than that people..... work for it!

I am assuming this freakin awesome contest is not available to those who work for outdoorzy.com?
Absolutely not Mr Emile.
Yo. Great contest. I'm down with some camping gear reviews if they count. No camping category yet? What do you do all day?
Eric
Okay, okay... we'll get a Camping category added Family Campman. Thanks for the reminder!
I just dropped up a review and a pretty sweet deal on the SPOT Messenger.... AM I first?
Kevin, you are first to do a review. Review 7 more products before everyone else and you get yourself one of these packs filled with goodies.
Wow.. That is a ton of work bossman... I will see what I can come up with.
Kevin
They don't have to be as detailed as your SPOT gear review. 4-5 lines about what you thought of the product, along with an image of it will do just fine.
I'll be you have plenty of gear to review
Okay, we have our winners...

All great reviews, all well worth the prize at the end of the rainbow. Each of you winners please send me a message with your address, shirt size, shoe size, and I'll see what we get your prizes out within the next week or two.
Thanks to all, and we'll have more Gear Review contests coming in the next month or two!
