Speaker 1:Finding a big trip towards southwestern New Mexico, into Arizona, and then back up. I'm going to see a lot of the national parks and national forests in the area is the plan for that, so there'll be a lot of those videos from that. The area is the plan for that, so there'll be a lot of those videos from that. But hike with me. But I'm going to switch back on the channel to more of a tips and tricks product reviews, as I've done in the past. I haven't really had a chance to do those. Now that I'm feeling a lot more settled here in New Mexico and I have a place to do, I can do those and we'll have the first of those coming out next week. I've got a couple of products that were sent to me. I can do those and we'll have the first of those coming out next week.

Speaker 1:I'm gonna select the winners probably that first week or two of April around my birthday time, probably right after my birthday, after I get back from that trip. That's to be announced still, and you probably want to see what the prizes are. So, without further ado, here are the prizes for that. Prize number one is a inflatable sleeping pad. I don't believe it's insulated, but it is a nice inflatable sleeping pad. Don't know the weight on it, still in the plastic, and I'll get that to you if you are third place. Okay, we're going to do three, three, three places here. Okay, so that's number three. Number two prize is a Trekker 1.0 tent.
Speaker 1:This is a one-person trekking pole tent from River Country Products. I've used it a couple of times on the trail. I like it, I think it's a great tent, but I've upgraded now and I don't need it anymore. So I can pass it on to somebody who would like to have it and would like to use it. So that could be you. And then for first prize, I used this several years ago. That's just a test product.
Speaker 1:This is a pack from Rhino Products. That's what it's called. Yeah, it's the Nevo Rhino Advanced 45 Plus 5. So it's a 50 liter pack. It's got some nice features, ventilated back. It's got some comfortable straps. It's got a decent pack size for an overnight or maybe a few nights, if you can pack really light.
