How To Get Free Outdoor Gear from Sponsors

Update: This program is currently closed. Subscribe to be notified when we accept new members.

What if you had a blog that enabled you to get free outdoor gear from sponsors? And what if you were able to keep all that gear to yourself, to use and abuse?

Well, here's my proposal to you: Even if you don't have a blog (or if your blog is just too small) you can apply for gear sponsorships on behalf of Highball Blog.

In other words, you simply write emails to sponsors, telling them you're a member of the Highball Blog community, and offer to write a review for whatever gear they send to you. It's that simple.

Win a Suunto Core Watch - Contest: Share Your "Core" Story

Update: This contest has reached its deadline. Thanks to all who entered.

If you're an adventurer that needs to get things done:

• on time (time & date, alarms, countdown timer and stopwatch)
• at a certain altitude (altimeter)
• in a certain geographical area (compass)
• in good weather (barometer, storm alarm, temperature) 

then here's your chance to win a Suunto Core Watch ($299). As you may know, Suunto is known to manufacture excellent (rugged and smart) adventure watches for all types of outdoor atheltes: mountaineers, climbers, paragliding addicts, divers, trekkers, etc. 

How to enter the contest 

It's easy. Go to TacticalGear.com or to Tactical Gear Facebook page and leave a comment with your most hardcore adventure story.

Whether you almost died during your last ascent or you just soared with eagles with your para glider - you tell the story and Tactical Gear will give you the watch.

This contest is open to U.S. residents only. The contest ends at noon on July 1 and the winner will be announced on July 6.

Success!

Here's your chance to win a free pair of hiking shoes from Wolverine.

We're talking about two pairs actually:

• one for women

1. Go to Wolverine's Facebook Page and like them up, that is hit the Like button. And why would't you like them? They're giving you free hiking shoes. :-)

2. Share this article on Facebook and/or Twitter. Be cool, don't keep this opportunity just for yourself. The social share widget is just below this article.  

---

3. Write a comment below this post and tell us where you would like to go trekking or hiking next. In other words: Where do you wanna rock those Wolverine shoes? ( Yosemite? British Columbia? Alaska? )

What else you should know

This giveaway is for USA and Canada residents only.

Use a public profile when commenting so we can track you down and contact you by email, Facebook or Twitter if you win. This is very important, since in the previous gear giveaway there were a few people who commented using their Google account but there was no contact info made public to their profile... We had to re-draw one winner.

We want to keep spammers off so comments are subject to moderation. If you don't see your comment up on the website right after you post it, come back later in the day or check back in the next day. If you type your personal name you'll be published in no time. :-)

I suggest using the Name/URL option. Type your Facebook or Twitter profile link in the URL field.

Deadline for entries is 25th March 2011. So you have two and a half weeks to enter starting from today - 9th March 2011.

After the 25th of March, I will update this post announcing the winners.

Wolverine shoes are pretty cool! :-)

I got a pair as a sponsorship myself and I gotta say I'm impressed by their technicality!

There's a silicone/gel disk underneath the inner sole (heel part) which allows you to configure your shoes in 4 ways:

1. Cushion
2. Firm
3. Inward
4. Outward

Click on the picture above for a larger view and you'll be able to read about each set-up.

Not to mention waterproofness (Gore Tex or Wolverine membrane depending on the model you choose) and wicked design. 

How we decide who wins

We're giving you equal chances of winning the shoes.

Random.org will provide two randomly generated numbers (as in a lottery draw):

1. First winning number will represent the Xth comment written by a lady participant.
2. The second number (another draw) will be the Yth winning comment written by a man.

That's it. Good luck and happy hiking!

I hope you are well and you'll continue climbing during 2011 and further in the future.  Winners are as follows: Casey Fiedler Brant Dempster Kovas Palubinskas Jen Hamilton  Thank you Appalachian Outdoors for the opportunity!

Wanna win some mountain climbing gear? Well, you can.

The guys at Appalachian Outdoors decided to start the year being generous, giving you the chance to add a new piece of gear to your climbing kit.

How to enter the outdoor giveaway

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Share this article on Facebook and Twitter and let your friends know about the contest as well. We want this to be a competition so bring in competitors. :-)
2. Visit AppOutdoors' Facebook page and friend them up.
3. Write a comment to this post and tell us one reason why you started climbing (or one reason why you want to start rock climbing). 

Tips: Use a public profile to comment. This allows us to know who you are and ensures we can contact you by e-mail in case you win. If you don’t have a blog or a Google account you can use the link of your Facebook or Twitter profile to comment using the Name/URL option. Anonymous comments won't be taken into account.

What can you win?

We want to give small things to more people instead of a big prize to just one person. Here’s the prize list:

• Black Diamond Chalk Bag
• Black Diamond Quicksilver 2 Locking Carabiner
• Metolius Inferno Wiregate Quickdraw
• Black Diamond Climbing Chalk

Each prize will be shipped free of charge to one of you (in USA).

How we decide who wins

Each of you should have a chance so we decided to go for merit and luck as follows:

• AppOutdoors will choose one winner according to their originality and craziness (they’ll give the quickdraw)
• Constantin Gabor (why am I talking about myself in the third person?) will chose another winner based on the honesty and emotional touch of your comment (I’ll give the chalk bag)
• We’ll use Random.org for the last two prizes. The locking carabiner will go to the Xth commentator and the chalk will go to the Yth commentator (Y being higher than X).

The contest starts today, 09 January 2011, and ends on 09 February 2011. This means the 9th of February is the last day you can submit your comment.

Note: We’re trying to keep spammers off, so comments on Highball Blog are subject to moderation before being published. If you don’t see your comment up on the website right away, don’t worry. You’ll see it later in the day or maybe the next day. Be patient.

This outdoor giveaway contest is for USA residents only.

We expect you to be honest and comment only once using your real online profile. If for some reason we suspect one person to be behind multiple accounts/comments then we would regard that as spam, remove the comments and consequently disqualify that person.

However, outdoorsy people are nice people and we trust you.

This post will be updated after the 9th of February 2010, announcing the winners along with links to their websites or blogs.

Good luck, climbers and wannabe climbers alike! Cheers!
