The Adventurist Wins Free SPOT Satellite Messenger in GearCrave’s Big Giveaway!
June 19, 2008
Leave it to me to be the last one to know when I’ve won something–
I received an email a few minutes ago from The Adventure Blog, saying one of his reader’s mentioned winning one of the SPOT Satellite Messengers that the GearCrave Blog was giving away in a big contest. His reader also mentioned that I had won…
Sure enough, I went and checked out the GearCrave Blog. They carried the following announcement:
With the flooding here in the Midwest, we’ve been a little behind on giveaways and we owe you an update. That said, we’re ready to announce the winners of the SPOT Satellite Messenger giveaway, the Futurama giveaway and the Anthony Logistics giveaway. GearCrave readers Bryan Estes, Jeremy, Justin Hollender and TheAdventurist have all won a free SPOT Satellite Messenger.
I first learned of the contest, as did Bryan Estes, through The Adventure Blog’s post last week. I eventually ran a post of my own about the SPOT Satellite Messenger, as I know these things are expensive and can save lives in the wild. Expensive to the tune of $169.99. Cheap for saving a life, but a little rough on my meager pocketbook.
After reading all the great benefits of the SPOT Satellite Messenger, it became an apparent no-brainer to sign up for their email newsletter and post a comment. That was ALL that they required! I do have to say that two weeks after signing up for the newsletter, I continue to read it every day. They offer up some great reviews on some pretty cool products.
Now I am going to have to study up on this new gadget and figure out how it works. The great guys over at SPOT, should be able to help me out a bit. If that doesn’t work, I am going to make a personal phone call to Les Stroud, host of Discovery Channel’s Survivorman, and ask for his input. He is the SPOT Satellite Messenger Spokesperson. If my phone call is refused, well then I will just head out to Big Sky Montana for this year’s Primal Quest. I have heard some SPOT personnel will be in attendence. On second thought, I better lay low-they can probably track me now..
By the way, SPOT has another pretty cool contest going on. If you go to their site, you can sign up to win a chance to visit Les Stroud, on location, for a Survivorman Shoot. I could probably show him a thing or two about survival with my new handy-dandy SPOT Satellite Messenger. What do you think?
The guys over at the GearCrave Blog are also giving away something new. They actually run contests quite often for some of the latest in technology, media, entertainment, and the like. Their latest falls under the catagory of entertainment–well, ok, perhaps they’re not giving that away, but hey, maybe they would be up for suggestions!
GearCrave Blog, I appreciate the SPOT Satellite Messenger. A Very, very cool giveaway! The Adventure Blog, thanks for tipping me off to the contest, and Bryan Estes, thanks for alerting the one person on earth who had no clue he had won. I appreciate it all, guys!
