This is a great way to jump-start the holidays! I can't wait to see who wins the Mountainsmith camera bag on December 10. My husband's been eyeing a similar bag at Mountainsmith's website!
Hi Andrea, Yes, I'm a very big fan of Mountainsmith. As we speak, I'm about to leave for Panama and carrying exclusively Mountainsmith bags: one backpack as carry-on and one fanny pack that doubles as my purse or day pack for hikes/walks. The camera bag has the same amazing quality of workmanship as all the Mountainsmith gear.
Sounds like a really great way to get people involved, nice idea!
Hi Caravan Deals, Yes, it was a lot of fun for everyone: the bloggers I teamed up with and our readers. We hope to do it again next year.
It is really nice idea to get involved. Nice & unique effort.
