I got this idea from my previous giveaway. :
I'm glad that someone got the kit (yes guys, it was delivered already) in my previous giveaway, but I
felt this strong pull to make one for a young survivalist who had limited funds and who could use a kit.
I'd like to invite all my friends here to chip in a bit for the kit. I'm pretty much tapped out as far as gear
goes, but I'm going to supply a few items myself. I just can't put together a substantial kit.
I found a really fun way to do this too. I planned on everybody sending the kit pieces then I'd put them
together and ship them to the winner, but I know how much fun it is to get stuff in the mail, so what
I'll do is act as an in-between guy and you can all send your contributions to the winner directly. I'll have
their address and will give out it to those who want to send something, but you must go on the record as
someone who's going to contribute something on the thread.
Okay, for those of you who want to participate in the actual Giveaway, you must be the following:
* no older than 18 years old
* you can't be rich or even remotely well off
* you must be willing to share your experiences with the kit once
. you get it (take pictures, share stories of you using it, etc...)
* you need to submit a post telling us why you want to learn wilderness survival and what
...got you into it, telling us a little about your region, who do you look up to and why, etc...
All I ask (as I'm sure those contributing would ask) is that you use the kit and that you share your
knowledge with someone less fortunate than you as you grow out of the kit passing on the bits giving
them more useful life in someone else's hands. I've received gifts from other members here when I
did my little giveaway the first time and I sent them a little something and it's with that spirit of
giving that I'd like to do this particular giveaway. There's not going to be a "winner" and a "loser" here,
there's going to be a draw once the qualified participants are decided on. I don't want anyone to feel
that they weren't chosen for a reason, fate is deciding this, not me.
With that, I'll be back with what I'm willing to contribute to the kit. Guys (and Ladies!),
I'm thinking the 10C's to start out with, especially a pack, some kind of shelter material even
if it's just a pair of 3 mil bags, some fishing bits, etc... similar to how my first giveaway kit was
put together. I'll keep tabs of the submissions. By the way, becaue of the generosity of this group
that I know firsthand and well, I suggest we give the redundancy items to runner-ups. I'd love to
see everyone that needs a bit get one. I've learned a few things and hope I can do a better job with
this giveaway.
Original giveaway kit list for suggestions: http://www.survivalistboards.com/showthread.php?t=279436
For those of you who are going to contribute something to the kit, feel free to "own" this giveaway
as much as I do. Make suggestions, let me know how we can make this work better, etc...Thanks!
Well, that's it. I'll be back later with my submissions. Feel free to start without me if you'd like.
Post what you can contribute and put that piece of kit that's not getting any use back to work
and for you participants, you get to work on your submission post and tell us about yourself.
Good luck!
