try your hand at writing reviews for both the magazine and Backpacker.com. And, if you're good enough, you could graduate and become one of Backpacker's regular corps of elite (and paid!) gear testers.To register for the contest you'll need to send a short (200 word) sample gear review of your favorite piece of gear to Backpacker. Also, the magazine is requiring that you produce and post a YouTube video in order to introduce yourself and show why you would make the perfect Backpacker Magazine Gear Tester.
