      <p><p class="MsoNormal">I just learned that February, while holding the status as
our shortest month also plays host to the most holidays.&nbsp; Who knew?&nbsp;
In honor of our international tester crew, Happy Holidays!&nbsp; Here in the states one of those esteemed
holidays is Ground Hog Day, which just took place on the 2nd.&nbsp; Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, depending
on your love of winter/summer (shout out to our testers Downunder) <em><span style="font-style:normal;">Punxsutawney</span></em>
Phil, the prognosticating ground hog, saw his shadow.&nbsp; Looks like we are in for 6 more weeks of
cold/hot weather.&nbsp; &nbsp;If Phil is right, the items in the Feb Call
should be getting lots of use.&nbsp; </p><p class="MsoNormal"> &nbsp;</p><p class="MsoNormal">Let&#39;s get creative gang and come up with some awesome ORs
for these types of items: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Snow gear (including winter specific clothing, footwear, ice axes, 4 season
tents, camp heaters etc.) </p><p class="MsoNormal">Rain Gear (including clothing, hats, umbrellas, pack covers,
waterproofing products, etc)<br>
<em><span style="font-style:normal;">Water
Related Items (including treatment, storage, transportation, crafts, footwear,
etc.) </span></em></p><p><span>

written please refer to http://www.backpackgeartest.org/reviews/ page for
sub-categories. Obviously, original items not already listed are strongly
encouraged as long as they fit BGT standards.&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="padding:0in;">The fine print: ORs do not need
to comply with the Monthly Call to be posted in any given month but only ORs
relevant to the call receive Brownie Points.</p>
