Hopefully no one or the administrators objects to this post as I'm not selling or profiting. Since most of us on here send nights in our sleeping bags I thought I'd share this contest with you. The goal of this contest, like my site is to promote people getting into the outdoors.

http://www.adventuresofscatman.com/2012/03/bag-night-challenge/


Sleeping in your bag, enter and win stuff.

Works for me, spending the night in a sleeping bag this weekend. I won't win this one though. Welcome to the site scatman!

GTG,

You might not rack up enough bag nights to win the Grand Prize but there is another grand prize that is completely random for anyone who enters. One bag night or 200, doesn't matter.

One of my sons has probably slept indoors less than 10% of the time over the past 2 or 3 years, and now lives in a tipi in Oregon. But people like him never compete in bag night contests! They don't get on the internet a lot!

I like this idea, it will motivate me more to go backpacking or camping. Not that I need to be motivated to do that!

I would agree most of us don't need motivation to get out and hike. I just love that with this contest, the contestants get rewarded for doing something they love.

Round one saw two lucky campers win some sweet Outdoor Research jackets. Round two prize is some cool Stanley products for around camp and some Action Wipes.
All nights since Jan. 1 count towards the overall so enter. Round two (3/1-4/30) ends this month, so if you haven't enter yet, do so. First place only has 6 nights this round. Someone has to have more than that from AZ.

So Round #3 just ended and it's on to Round #4. This round is sponsored by Osprey Packs. They're giving away either a Viper or Verve Pack to the person with the most bag nights from Sept. 1 to Oct. 30th.

Remember if you're just entering now you can still enter your previous bag nights for the year. Just be sure to send a reply or email telling me the dates so I can put them in the right round. Thanks!

Round #5 is over and the last Round is under way. Round #6 goes from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31. This time around a Custom Fuel Headlamp from Princeton Tec is up for grabs.
So get out there and start bagging nights. Remember if you're just entering now you can still enter your previous bag nights for the year. Just be sure to send a reply or email telling me the dates so I can put them in the right round. Thanks!
