GeoPalz Fun at Outdoor Retailer Winter Market

January 12th, 2012

GeoPalz, leading innovators of healthy lifestyle products, is throwing down a serious challenge at the 2012 Outdoor Retailer Winter Market next week in Salt Lake City. Five well-known outdoor industry bloggers will be competing to see who can log the most steps at the huge expo.

Here are the deets from the GeoPalz blogsite:

Here’s how it works:

THE CONTESTANTS– These are  some of our favorite outdoor-industry bloggers:

THE CONTEST:

East contestant is equipped with a GeoPalz.  They use it to track their daily steps at the show.  At the end of each day, they log their steps on www.geopalz.com.

At GeoPalz exhibit booth (#BB727) the contest will be visually presented in a style reminiscent of county fair horse race games. Each blogger’s logo will be represented along a path to the finish line. Progress will be easily visual at all times.  So each day you can come see how your favorite blogger is doing in the contest!

THE INCENTIVE:

We can’t let the bloggers have all the fun, can we?! Every day all the attendees will get to participate by voting for the blogger they think will rack up the most steps each day.  Then, we’ll randomly draw one of those fans each day to win a GeoPalz!

The blogger who outpaces (literally) the rest of the pack will not only be able to forever mock his fellow blogosphere residents, but will score a $50 gift certificate from our retail partner Whole Foods.

Let the Games begin!

You can follow the drama on our Facebook page – http://www.facebook.com/GeoPalz or on our Twitter account – @GeoPalz. Please like our FB page and follow, if you don’t already! And don’t forget to visit your favorite blogger site from the competitors and cheer them to victory!

Trout TV Sends Lucky Viewers on Alaskan Fishing Vaca!

December 16th, 2011

Outside Media is excited to join forces with Sunwest Productions to bring you Trout TV, the premier fly fishing television show featuring North America’s most coveted fly fishing destinations.

Trout TV has just announced the winner of the Trout TV Fishing Safari contest. Audrey Nims, a Vancouver, Washington resident, held the winning ticket out of over two thousand entries for the drawing that ran throughout the fall on the Trout TV website.

This is a serious fly fishing dream getaway. The Nims will be heading out on Alaska Airlines to the upper banks of the Kenai River in Southcentral Alaska for four days of guided fishing on the scenic Kenai with Alaska Wildland Adventures and the Kenai River Sport Fishing Lodge. The package includes round trip airfare for two provided by Alaska Airlines, four days fishing, five nights at the Lodge, and meals during the fishing excursions. The trip is valued at approximately $8000!

“I love fishing and the great outdoors! That’s why I am so excited to win,” said Audrey Nims. “My fishing buddy and husband, Rod, generously offered to accompany me. Our first date was trout fishing at Canyon Creek nearly 18 years ago. We’ve been fishing together ever since, everywhere we go.”

 

 

 

Nims catches Trout TV on Portland FOX affiliate KDPX. She and her husband fish the Vancouver area frequently.

“In our neck of the woods, we do lots of steelhead and salmon fishing in the Columbia River and its tributaries. This Alaskan Fishing Safari with Alaskan Wildland Adventures and Kenai Sportfishing Lodge will undoubtedly be the most awesome vacation we’ve ever had! WOOHOO! Thank you TroutTV!”

The Fishing Safari was sponsored by Kenai River Sportfishing Lodge, Dave Smith Motors, Carhartt, and Alaska Airlines.

Holler for Alaska!

Pie in Your Face!

November 23rd, 2011

From: Coordinator Barry– At the OM office we work hard, but we also find ways to relax, have a good time, share some community, and, above all, to compete like hell against each other.

Today, in honor of Thanksgiving and all the eating we will be doing, we decided to have a little pie break.  Of course, just eating pie together is never enough. Let the 1st Annual Holler Pie Throwdown begin!

Instructions were simple: Make the best (edible) pie your abilities will allow. Our neighbors at Glacier DRS serve as impartial judges. The winner gets to mock the crud out of everyone in the office for some time to come.

Entrants:

@outsideholly presented a deadly Triple Chocolate Pumpkin combo that packed a major richness punch.

@outsideamy answered Holly’s chocolate with even more chocolate – Chocolate Ganache Tart (hey, no comments about “what qualifies as a pie?” We’re very accepting at OM).

Going a completely different direction, @collinhamman threw in with a beautifully tidy Key Lime entrant.

Also dancing on the limits of what really makes a pie, @outsideshane offered up a cheesecake-berries-chocolate-something he called Chocolate Cheesecake Madness.

@outsidesammi brought in a seriously messy (but deeelish)  Banana Cream extravaganza.

Our infamous leader, @outsidehilary really threw a twist into the event with a tray full of Mini Mincemeat Pies.

Check out the unbelievable yum-ness:

Jealous much?

 And who was the winner? Judging was harsh. Competition was cutthroat (in fact, we kinda worried that Amy might actually cut someone…) In the end, it was a smackdown by the young. Our in-house art master and design genius, Collin Hamman B-LAST-ED the rest of the crew.

That is the look of victory, friends! (and don’t miss @outsidehilary’s attempt to appear gracious)

HOLLER FOR  PIE!

Outside Media Home Movies

November 11th, 2011

If you were a child of the 80′s, like I was, chances are every embarrassing moment of your childhood was documented on home video. Every missed soccer goal and birthday cake. Every cheerleading tryout and Star Search audition tape of you singing “A Whole New World” from Aladdin (totally hypothetical tape… it does not exist… don’t look for it.)

Once you hit adulthood, it’s easier to avoid the random video camera.

Unless you work at Outside Media.

Of course, I’m prepared to speak on behalf of clients on camera every so often when meeting media at trade shows. But those times are pretty few and far between, and usually we can get away with sticking our fabulous clients in front of the camera instead.

I’ll admit it… I’m a goof and a bit of a ham at times, but I am camera shy for a reason. I stutter. I mutter. I nervously toss my hair. And I make incredibly awkward faces.

So when Hilary asked me to throw on a Salomon jacket a few weeks ago to shoot a product video, I was confident all would go down in a blaze of fiery disaster, and I could go back to my desk.

 click here if you’re sure you want to see it.

I make faces.

If you’re curious what the outtake reel looks like… look at this… and add more expletives.

We are in the process of editing out own outtakes, so you’ll want to stay tuned.

Some of us at Outside Media are better on camera than others. After about a million years as a broadcast journalist, Hilary’s got it down.

I’m excited that Outside Media has a super talented editing department to help produce some great videos for our clients. Check them all out here at our new Vimeo Channel. It’s incredible to see our clients’ products showcased so beautifully… especially when the process looks a little something like this.

From Camping Gear TV: How To Be a Better Drunk

November 11th, 2011

MFC Stainless Steel Flasks are for Ballers!

 “Friends don’t cause friends to lose foots. That’s not what friends do.” — The guys on Camping Gear TV are hard ballin’. “When I drink out of this at home, the mailman only brings good stuff. And no bills.”

In this “enlightening” video, Josh and Ben give you the full rundown of Montana Fly Company’s Artist Series Flask. If you are wondering about the best way to make use of your flask in the wild, they have some advice for you:

  • When bringing whiskey into the outdoors, it is recommended that you leave the glass bottles at home
  • Whiskey is more weight efficient than beer for hiking and camping
  • When Diddy rolls, Diddy rolls with a striped bass flask

Check out the episode for even more tips on being a more effective consumer of alcohol in the outdoors, and stop by MontanaFly.com to see their full selection of “flasks for ballers.”

We should probably mention that there is some bad words in this video, and maybe this would be a good spot to mention that the opinions expressed by those two guys in the video are not necessarily those of Montana Fly Company or Outside Media
