Dear Santa,
This year I was especially nice. I found the light side, left behind my Meindl boots and Gregory 80 l backpack, learned about quilts, torso pads, down socks for sleeping and am thinking about getting a packraft. Anyway. To make the switch to ultralight backpacking, the Gossamer Gear Murmur would be awesome. It has a big enough volume to fit all my new lightweight gear, has a nice front mesh pocket, two side pockets and the blue colour means I will always see it easily. In case I have a bit more gear with me - I'm still in transition, after all - the pack can expand the volume a bit with a cinch closure to keep things inside dry.
So, as I said in the video, leave a comment with a photo of your current backpack to enter the raffle for this pack. You have till twelve o'clock Finnish time, and I then will update the post with the winner in the afternoon.
Good luck!

UPDATE I
12 o'clock Finnish time was the time limit, amigos! So Simon Tranter is the last one who is in on this one, sorry [The time frame is 6 am to 12 am (noon) Finnish time, though I think I might need to expand it on the next posts. Maybe till 3 pm. See tomorrow then]. I will now check the entries on this one, delete double posts and then throw the numbers in random.org. Check back in a while!
UPDATE II
Wow, you guys rock! 86 comments, plenty of cool packs & stories, many, many thanks! The next post goes online tomorrow at 6 am, so get ready for Door II!
