Congratulations Anson! Thank you for your commitment to the community of Trailspace and for helping to make it THE resource for gear considerations.

More importantly, thank you for your service as a firefighter. We are indebted to men and women like yourself who continually put themselves before others in the interest of safety!

My daughter loves to dance 24/7 as well. Cheers to you!

I've watched many of your videos. Great stuff!

Thank's for all the awesome video reviews, I have found many of them very useful and insightful. 

P.S.

I was looking at some of your stuff on YouTube and found your video on the burrito tarp set up, last month I was on the A. T. and on a particular windy night I helped my brother in law make and attach the burrito to my tent so he wouldn't freeze.

I can't wait to receive my prizes!  I'm going to review them!!!!!!

The prizes are in the mail, Arson!

The bonus of having you and XtrerroBrando win prizes in the contest is that you're both very likely to turn around and give the rest of us some helpful gear reviews.

Congratulations again.

Congratulations Arson, your videos are very helpful!

It looks like Alicia gave you enough stuff to survive for at least 3 days.

Good deal & have fun!

Arson, you are D-man!

I believed strongly in the message you conveyed in your video review where you described your own homegrown First Aid Kit. I could some it up as "a First Aid kit by a professional responder for professional responders". Simple, effective, and based on knowing your limits while out there. Based on this review I've continued to follow your reviews because of your unique perspectives.

Aside from this I've purchased gear based on your reviews and tested them with very similar results. Thanks for your honest and technical reviews!

PS - I got to agree with Alicia, what an incentive to keep giving us great reviews! LOL.

I just received my prizes in the mail.  My daughters were so impressed with Daddy winning a major award.  It was even better than getting a leg lamp!

Thanks to everyone who voted for me and all the positive comments on this blog.

LOL. Sorry I misspelled your name earlier. Did the box the prizes came in say "Frajjjeeeeeellllaaaayyyyy" on it?

Alica told me I get the leg lamp with a Smartwool over-the-calf hiking sock on it. Can't wait!

Now those would be a prize! Although your and Arson's spouses probably would not thank me for them.

I guess there will be no "soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window" this Christmas.      ;)

Although, maybe it will be included in future contests:

Regardless, a big Congrats and thank you to Arson!

Arson's reviews are excellent!
