Not sure how many of you are in the social media side of the world, but I wanted to share something with you all…
A Facebook group, GearRat Outdoors, is holding it’s second gear raffle. It works as follows:
- Each raffle ticket costs $1, with a minimum of $5 and a maximum of $20 per person.
- While the “packages” being raffled are presumptively pre-set, they might change if the minimum number of “tickets” are not sold.
- If more tickets are sold than needed to purchase the raffled gear, all excess proceeds will be donated to an organization of the majority’s choosing.
As of now, there are three prizes:
1- Summer ul backpacking set up (including custom Zpacks Zero, UGQ 30F 950FP quilt, UGQ sil tarp + bug bivy w/cuben floor, and more…)
2- summer ul shelter
3- summer ul sleep system
For those who are not “in the know,” GearRat is a pretty cool facebook community. Gear swaps and sales, lots of great advice, and good times. The guy in charge, Christian Millet, is a stand-up fellow.
