We’ve teamed up with Lipton to bring you guys and gals this great contest. It’s just like most of our contests here on Outdoorzy, in that it’s easy to sign-up. But the stakes are much higher this time folks, we’re giving away this Fuji Crosstown 2.0.
Lipton is no front-porch sippin tea. They are promoting an active lifestyle, and they have the products to go along with that lifestyle. They recently sponsored a video contest where people showed their active lifestyle off by submitting a video to win prizes. There are some crazy ones and some hilarious ones toos. Check out the Free Your Y Contest. You can vote on your favorite video to ensure an “outdoor” activity wins the field of submissions. 
Voting begins tomorrow.
Check out the new White Tea products while you’re there as well. White Tea has Antioxidants, Theanine, Caffeine, and H20, which are all good for the activities we love most.

Dirt Sweat and Gears is the big mountain biking event in the Southeast US each year. And the Outdoorzy team will be in attendance. It will be happening the first weekend in May, and we have it marked on the calendar and we can’t wait to get down there and have some fun. There will be musical performances, tons of free swag (including bike give-aways), lots of outdoor loving people, oh yeah… and lots of mountain bike races!
Outdoorzy will be giving away loads of gift cards to the Outdoorzy Store so you can load up on cycling gear and any other fun summer outdoor gear and clothing you need. Not to mention lots of other gear and freebies. Just drop by our tent and check us out. It won’t be hard to find us, we’ll be the ones with the big Outdoorzy.com banner. There will be plenty of other vendors there as well.
If you’re looking for something to do that weekend and you’re within driving distance come on up and check out all the excitement in Fayetteville Tennessee.

SkullCandy makes headphones, pretty darn good uns too. You want a pair? Okay, read this to see how to get a free pair. Seriously…
I recently got set of these headphones and at first site I thought, okay…. so. But when I plugged them into my MP3 player and started listening to a little 311 (I know I’m old skool) I could see what the buzz was about.
They have a really clear and powerful sound for a small set of speakers. They were comfortable, and seemed reasonably durable. I wasn’t so sure about the part that wraps over your head yet. It seemed a bit, well plasticy. BUT I gave them a good twist one way, then the other… then did that again. They didn’t even creak or moan. So that test went well.
Now would they stand the test of being packed in my backpack, stuffed under an airplane seat, pulled out, dropped, picked up, squished, mashed, scattered, smothered, covered, diced, and chunked. You get the picture….
And, they did. So, my final verdict is 8.5 out of 10. They are $29.95 over at SkullCandy.com, but hey… you could buy a $10 set, then break them the next week. Or get something that is decent. AND, has a SKULL on it. Sweeet.
And what the heck, we are all about contests this week. You want a pair? Send me the name of the 3 bands you’d listen to first on your new set of SkullCandy phones… Let me know over on the Forum and, well, I’ll pick somebody to take a pair home and rock out.

You may have noticed all the ads for Eckerd Youth Alternatives on Outdoorzy lately. Eckerd is a new advertiser on the site, and is going to be advertising with us for a while. I wasn’t familiar with what Eckerd did until I started exploring their site last night. I’m very impressed with the way they provide opportunities not only for the children who attend their camps, but for the employees who work there.
Imagine having a job where you can backpack, camp, AND help teach kids how to enjoy all the outdoor activities you love so much. They have jobs all over the country, and from the looks of their job board they always have openings. There are part-time seasonal and full-time positions available.
Many people question the way they spend their days and wonder if there are more meaningful options out there. It looks like there are always jobs available at Eckerd.

We here at the Outdoorzy headquarters have heard, more than a few times, “You guys should sell gear!”
Well, you’re right, we should, and now we do. With the help of one of the outdoor industries most well known names in outdoor gear Sierra Trading Post.
I’ve shopped with STP quite a few times personally and I can attest to the quality of customer service they provide. I can also vouch for their deals. We wanted to ensure from the beginning that, when we teamed up with a retail company to provide gear, they would not only be reputable and provide good customer service to our members, but we wanted to make sure that we could bring you the best gear at the lowest prices. That’s what we’ve done here.
Please check out our new store, and if you need to buy something feel free to do it here. We’ll be working with Sierra Trading Post to bring you gear give-aways and discounts every chance we get. We’ve also had a Deal of the Day sort of blog in the works for some time, and that will be launching soon as well. Stay tuned, exciting times!

Well ladies, I’m deeply saddened to report that Outdoorzy co-founder Emile is one more step away from your clutches. He is now officially engaged to be married to Outdoorzy member Jennie.
Congrats you two! Maybe we can convince you to have the ceremony in some sweet outdoor locale… Costa Rica anyone?
