I just want to personally thank CampSaver for helping us with this giveaway. Those guys are seriously awesome to work with and came through with a way cooler prize than we were expecting. Really a great gear shop! And if you live in or around Utah, you usually get your stuff the next day since they're just up in Logan. Highly recommended! Now if only I were eligible to win that bag! :mad:
 
I'm so going in for this. Great prize and great motivation to end my winter slumber.

FYI - You can also pick up your order from their warehouse in Nibley the same day you order it! I've did this a few times as I was leaving the next day. Just call them after placing your order and let them know and they'll have it waiting for you in the front office.

Also, they are currently building a new warehouse that is going to have a store in the front of it!
 
Am I reading the fine print correctly that a Trail Guide requires a KML file to be eligible for the drawing?
 
Just a reminder - to be a qualifying trip report, it must contain at least 1 paragraph and 5 photos or 1 video. It does not have to be a new trip report, feel free to dig into your archives, but it must not have been previously posted on backcountrypost. Happy trip reporting!

What are the timelines? Does a trip report I posted last month count? If not, when does the trip report have to be posted by? Now I understand why there are suddenly so many trip reports, hee hee.....:D
 
From the fine print:

Trip reports and trail guides must be posted between 12:01 AM March 1, 2013 and 11:59 PM April 30, 2013, Mountain Standard Time.

:)
 
Just a little over a week left in this. Get those trip reports in now. Every trip report = 1 entry in the giveaway!
 
Last day to get trip reports in for an entry to win the Marmot bag. Winner will be announced tomorrow as well as another giveaway for the month of May. :)
 
Drumroll please!

We just did the random drawing from all entries, and the winner is....

Aldaron!

Congratulations, Keith! I'll be in touch with how to collect your killer new sleeping bag courtesy of CampSaver.com.

For everyone else, we're announcing a new giveaway for the month of May later this afternoon, so keep those Trip Reports and Trail Guides coming!
