 Click on How to Become a Tester.  This will give you all you need to know.  Please don't be intimidated by the document.  It's really much easier than it seems once you get going.  Secondly, we have a newbie mentor.  His name is Ray Estrella.  I'm going to send your info. to him so he can contact you.  He will walk you through any issues you run across with your first Owner Review.

The Monthly Call isn't really relevant to new folks but you won't be excluded from getting a brownie point if you happen to choose to write about something that fits the Call.  Since you're new, what we really want if for you to pick an item from your personal gear that you've had lots of experience with and that is still current enough so it's still on the market.  (This keeps our reviews relevant.)

Once you visit the BGT site, peruse through the reviews (especially Owner Reviews) and read the How to Become a Tester, it will all make much more sense.  Super glad you are here.  I look forward to seeing your first OR.

Safe hiking,
