Geigerrig Giveaway – Celebrating 1500 youtube subscribers!

Posted by: Paul Posted date: August 24, 2012 In: gear, prizes | comment : 14

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.

I want to continue to work on losing a 1-3 pounds, but keep similar comfort, so that will take a while because it will require $$ I don’t want to part with yet And I am pretty happy with the system. The pack held, inside-no danglies, all I needed, including fullsize bear canister, for a week in CO this summer to my surprise. So I think I can look at other areas, like my food choices, to lose the weight that I am over in my BIG 3.

Pack: Osprey Exos 34 (a small size so it is really only 32 lts) Weight 32 oz
Shelter: TarpTent Rainbow – weight 32 oz
Sleep System: UltraLite 800 Fill 3-Season Quilt (Long) weight 26 oz and NeoAir long weight. 19oz.

Thanks for you informative and fun site!
