by: BACKPACKER Editors
\nEver dreamed of owning a sleeping bag stuffed with down so fluffy it would float away without you in it? Or a two-person tent that our editors raved about? Now you have a chance to get both\u2014without cracking your wallet.<\/p>\n

Giveaways will include Soto\u2019s Micro Regulator stove, Kelty\u2019s Lakota pack, and KEEN\u2019s Obsidian WP.
