So this blog post is supposed to be about whatever we want, so this one is about a current project of my own that I have started. I found recently on the backpacker web site a competition for anyone out there that would like to go as a gear tester to the Salt Lake City Outdoor Retailer Trade Show. You would get an all expense paid trip to go and hang out with all of the outdoor gear manufacturers and retailers.
The only thing is that you have to be able to go around and ask retailers about new products for the upcoming year, and blog about interviews along with posting videos.
The only requirements are to pitch why you should be selected in a 3 minute long video and a 100 word essay (blog style) about your favorite piece of gear and what makes it your favorite.
They are only taking two men and two women. Over break I will be taking some time to get this done before the December 15th deadline.
The great thing is that I would only be missing two days of classes for it, and it would be a great experience for opening my outdoor retail store. This is the largest outdoor industry trade show in the world. This would be one of the funnest and informative thing I could do for my future career. It would be an awesome experience for me in so as to improve my public relations and public speaking. Plus, who wouldn't want to spend a weekend playing with the newest in outdoor gear, and the people designing them?
