The Outdoor Retailer Winter Market is wrapped up once again, and as usual, I am completely exhausted. This year’s show was successful for BGT; we got great feedback from manufacturers and nearly everyone we approached is on-board. Right now, the only thing holding BGT back is the number of qualified testers. If you are reading this and are not a BGT tester, please join us – we need you! We have enough gear lined up to put every tester in a tent, a pack, a sleeping bag, and a new pair of footwear. Plus accessories galore!
Details of show beyond the jump.

Dave and I regularly head for the desert over Thanksgiving week. Aside from the crowds, it is a great time to visit due to the mild weather. This year’s trip was a mishmash of a lot of places: Rainbow Basin, Mojave National Preserve, Las Vegas, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, and Death Valley. Rather than throw everything into one photo album, I tried to break it down by area or hike. Trip report and photos after the jump.
