Current Giveaways:
Fun Free Outdoor Stuff For Your Next Hike
By Diane Spicer
What's up with this current giveaways page?
An even better question:
Who doesn't love free hiking stuff?
Especially when it's high quality outdoor gear, hiking clothing, fun camping and hiking products, books, and anything else that makes your trail time safer, happier and more rewarding!
But why give away
all this good hiking stuff?
Why not?!
Life is short, trails are not, and it's just more fun to live life with a glass half full perspective.
Hikers, campers, backpackers and snowshoers need a lot of gear and knowledge to stay safe and happy in the outdoors, and that's where these giveaways come in.
Yup! Hiking For Her has decided that current giveaways should be a regular part of life on this website.
There is already a bounty of free information here for you.
- So why not some physical gifts as well?
It's a great way to showcase the outdoor products I believe in, support, and use myself.
Big stuff, small stuff, it takes some high quality outdoor stuff to get you out here! Even better: when it's free.Offering monthly outdoor giveaways is also a way for Hiking For Her to say thanks to you for being a part of our vibrant, awesome hiking community.
Current giveaways: what to expect
You never know what you'll find on this page.
That's half the fun.
The other half is a chance to be selected as the winner of something to wear, something to read, or something to try out on the trail.
Let's keep things simple
Your email address is all that is required to enter the current giveaways.
It will be closely guarded by Hiking For Her.
So closely guarded that it will be used only to ask for your physical mailing address if you are the winner of a physical product.
That's how seriously I take your inbox!

Current Giveaway:
Brunton TruArc 3 Compass
If I had to bet, I'd probably win by stating that most hikers have most of the Ten Essentials for hiking ... but not a compass.
Why not?
No one taught us how to use it! And we seem to get by ok with electronic gadgets for straightforward trail hiking most of the time.
But you're different, I just know it!
Here's your chance to seize the day and get the tool you need to start navigating by the old school, needs no batteries approach: topographical map + compass.
The map is personalized to your hiking destinations of choice, but here's the compass:
What to note about this hiking Ten Essential
This is a solid, entry level compass for navigation and orienteering, nothing too fancy, no extra frills that could get in the way of understanding how to use it with a map.
If you are already familiar with the design of a compass, this one has a global needle system, tool-free declination for east or west declination settings to +/- 180°. It features metric & standard scales and 2° resolution.
If that description makes your eyes cross and your brain threaten to run away, why not enter for a chance to win this compass and get familiar with all that jargon? It just might help you out of a "not exactly found, maybe I'm lost" situation.
