Win an Olympus® Stylus 1050 SW at CampingBlogger!

Last month we gave away a great little GPS receiver, a Garmin™ eTrex Summit® HC, and this month CampingBlogger is back with the camera that was on of my Top 5 Christmas gift recommendations, in November. I’m a little more frugal with your money than I am with mine, however, so I’m giving away the top-of-the-line, 10.1 Megapixel model 1050!

We have a winner!

Congratulations to Justin P., winner of the Garmin eTrex Summit HC!

Congratulations to Justin P., winner of the Garmin eTrex Summit HC!

Congratulations to Justin P. of Rome, GA for winning the Garmin Summit HC GPS receiver! I had just enough time to notify Justin on Friday, before catching a flight to Las Vegas for a family birthday get-together.

We’ll take a little break here for the holidays, but I’ve already got a good idea for our next contest, which I’ll start in January. There is a chance that we might have more than one prize, for this next giveaway. There was another manufacturer that came in late on our last one, but there just wasn’t enough time left to do them justice.

We’ll run the next one the same way, so if you are already receiving new CampingBlogger posts in your email inbox, you are automatically entered in the drawing.

Thanks to everyone who participated – it was not only a lot of fun for me, but I also got a lot of new subscribers to the blog, which pulls a lot of weight with potential sponsors for future contests.

This should continue to feed all of you contest-hounds, as we just wrapped-up ours today, and the next one doesn’t start until January.

So get cracking and head over to www.tommangan.net and win yourself a new pair of boots!

Win a Garmin Summit HC GPS Receiver

Just in time for Christmas, I am celebrating the grand opening of CampingBlogger with a contest for a brand new eTrex Summit® HC, from Garmin™. The Summit is one of the best handheld GPS receivers for hiking, backpacking and general outdoor use. It has a high-sensitivity GPS engine, which allows the Summit to track the GPS signal under some pretty harsh conditions, like thick tree canopy or deep canyons. In addtion, the GPS engine can also process the WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) signal, which increases the accuracy of the GPS receiver. And as if that wasn’t enough, the Summit has an integrated barometric altimeter, which provides better elevation accuracy than the GPS position, and an electronic compass for picking an azimuth even when stationary. It’s a great little handheld and you can learn more about this $229.99 beauty on the Summit HC product page.
