I know I have posted a note about this web group before but I thought I'd throw it out here again in an effort to get more AZ testers.

Check out http://www.Backpackgeartest.org and consider becoming a tester. If you have questions feel free to email me. I'm not an official spokesperson for the group but I am one of the testers and I'm happy to answer questions.

The group is totally free and open to anyone who has a passion for hiking. Basically, you apply to test an item, if you get selected you test it for 60 months, write 3 reports about it then the item becomes yours. It's that simple.

Here's just a few of the companies that use BGT to test their stuff.....

Big Agnes
Therm-a-rest
Eureka
Mountainsmith
Mountain Safety Research(MSR)
Black Diamond
Snugpak
Gregory
Golite
High Sierra
Ula Equip
Dueter
Lowe
Granite Gear
Red Ledge

The list goes on and on. Stuff for dogs, kids, men, women. There's something to test for everyone. We have some really great writers here on AZH, check it out.
