Sweet giveaways, I have yet to win one but I would love to some day.
Awesome stuff! I love it!
I always do try to win survey and never win. I’ve been doing them for about 15 years now. I keep trying. Thanks.
I always try to get giveaway but never get it yet. I hope i get it from this survey
I don’t ever remember having won anything in 64 years. So it would be really exciting to win one of your giveaways.
i’ve literally never won a giveaway of any kind… but i’m looking forward to the emails
Does anyone actually win?
Hi Kristin,
Yes, we list winners on this page as well as email everyone who entered the Giveaway to let them know who won and what they plan to do with the gear!
Nice giveaways
Thank you
Nice gear, great give away! Let’s all stay awhile longer.
Way cool
I give you back half of the price to travel with the other half, wearing 686. Cheers!
I need a gift to help me in the outdoors and to lift my spirits after all the losses associated with this virus and social issues. Please. Thank you. Stay safe…God bless you.
I wanna win I never win anything, this might be the one.
Sure would like to win !!
All of the things crossed
This would be great for the summer with the family.
Huge fan of 686 and have been reppin their gear for 15years plus! I’m a Bellingham/Baker local. Best snowboard gear out! Never have had a bad experience or anything but great things to say about their products and customer service.
Go for it
Your site has some great gear. Fingers crossed as I look forward to hopefully winning.
I love giveaways like this. I’ve never won but I always dream how I would use the gear on the trail, camping, biking, kayaking, and being in the outdoors for days at a time. It would be amazing.
Perseverance climbing the mountain of Life, and hopefully putting some new gear to the test!
I never win anything this would be fantastic I ski about 4-5 days a week !!
I tend to obsess over gear as well. Always feel like I need one more thing…..or 10. Would love to win any of the prizes in this giveaway.
Thanks for putting this on. Fun giveaway and I found some new stores.
A lot of amazing prizes from some absolutely awesome companies
nice prizes hope to win
when the SHTF I’ll be PREPARED

A mover made off with our best gear years ago and we’ve yet to replace it. These keep us dreaming.
Just bought a new RV and planning on lot of out door trips,
Sounds good
Great stuff. Keep it up!
I don’t go on Instagram, but am participating as best I can. My daughter’s family and I love the outdoors and try to spend time together out there, even if it is the backyard or the pasture.
On behalf of all the poor “hker trash” community, we thank you once again for giving away stellar prizes! Good luck everyone!
right on
Your giveaways are always appreciated and definitely useful in most daily situations
I have climbed all of the 14, fourteeners in Colorado in my lifetime.
This is such a great giveaway! Thanks for a shot at winning and good luck everyone! Cheers from Vancouver WA and stay safe and be good human beings!
I was crushed between 2 forklifts and still trying to recover. Have to keep moving at my age or pain and stiffness will put me down for good.
I refuse to relent, let’s move, camp, hunt, fish, outdoors is my element. Thank you for what you do.
About to get a boat, live about half mile from Eagle Mountain Lake boat ramp. Just moved here, looking forward to take advantage of it

Sounds Really great!
Do people really win these giveaways?
Yes, they do! We announce the winners in an email to everyone who entered, typically a week or so after the giveaway. We also list the winners by first name once it’s over.
I like it outside for the beauty, the cleaner air, and the enjoyment of being one in nature and with God.
This is a GREAT contest… the linking and liking part was tricky in that some of the linking AFTER liking did not go through until 2 or 3 or 4th etc… tries… STILL would like to win… nice products
What great equipment! Like everyone else, of course, I’m hoping to WIN.
Backpackers are awesome. Always enjoy the write ups on all the gear, also great sweepstakes opportunities, hoping to win replace alot of old worn out gear getting back into the out of doors.
What a Giveaway! Great products to keep us motivated to continue exploring the great outdoors.
Is this only for USA or is it worldwide?
Unfortunately it’s just USA at this time.
Am I dreaming with high quality products that I would love winning. Been an outdoor lover since 1966. Would enjoy getting improved products to get outside and be warm but also looking good. Thanks to all the companies that are supporting this contest.
Very nice. Thanks.
Great giveaway
What a great contest ! Being outside in the wilderness is frequently synonymous of passing time with friends and in this pendemic situation is the best way to keep it going ! This contest just arrive at the good time and especially cause all the good gear is sometimes expensive.
Wish i will be able to find new favorite stuff and brand !! 🙂
Cheers
Awesome website!
Love the giveaway
wow-wow
Would love to win something since losing my job to covid layoffs. Looking forward to a beautiful and positive 2021 spring!
Dreams are made of these high quality products that only come on a wish list. Now, when I win I can enjoy outdoors activities throughout the year with so many adventures to look forward to. Thanks to all the companies and outfitters supplying their products to make nature the magic it is. Thanks so much.
Any of these would be wonderful!

I did all the things for bonus entries but I can’t see if I got the 45 entries for my friend entering and he said he couldn’t tell if his entry was accepted until he got an email saying it was successful.

Thanks for the reminder to enter the wonderland giveaway. I’m an avid photographer and writer and love to hike, be out in wild and urban places to canoe and kayak, hike, snowshoe, take photos, camp, and stare at the night skies…forests, deserts, ocean beaches, Haleakala and other volcanic wonders all appeal…I have been an avid outdoor creature all my life and would be delighted to continue my journeys with some new and updated equipment.
As a writer and editor, I have a keen eye for typos and missing words on all kinds of documents online, in zines, books, and even in my own writing.
I found a typo in your sweepstakes entry that you may want to correct for future sweepstakes, etc.
My small gift to you and your copy editor to keep egg off your face!
Here is the typo: Skier + Snowboarded Correction:
I believe it should read: Skier + Snowboarder
Best of health, safety, grace and joy in supporting everyone, no matter what their age, to take the time to spend time outdoors in nature, however they can manage it, each and every day of their lives. That’s what makes people care about the environment and live their lives honoring what we blessed with in this planet.
