Outdoorzy news

Outdoorzy.com is an online social network that caters to avid outdoor sports enthusiasts. Wade Heflin, chief honcho at Outdoorzy, pinged me this morning about a few new (and free) lifestyle benefits his site is offering to its members.

I’m a member of the site because I think what Wade’s got going is pretty cool, including gear lists and reviews, member profiles, forums, a blog, an event calendar, an outdoors business directory, and even a Top 10 List of members’ favorite activities based on collective trip reports. If you’re into the outdoors, chances are you know somebody who’s already a member at Outdoorzy.

As to those new bennies Wade is offering, here’s a list from today’s press release:

• Moosejaw.com is offering 15% off outdoor gear and clothing on their site and 5% off sale items for Outdoorzy members. Moosejaw is an outdoor gear and clothing retailer that not only provides the necessities for outdoor living, but does so with style and humor.
• Island Outpost offers Outdoorzy members a free night at Jake’s in Jamaica if they book four nights. Jake’s is a bohemian resort on the south coast of the island with plenty of outdoor activities. From mountain biking to yoga, they have it all.
• Wend Magazine is offering Outdoorzy member $3 off a subscription. Wend is a new outdoor sports and adventure travel magazine that is getting rave reviews in the outdoor community.
• ImOutdoorsHosting.com is offering their very robust web hosting plan for just $4.95/mo (normally $6.95). Whether a member needs a blog or an ecommerce store, they cater to the outdoor industry.

I don’t know about you, gentle reader, but I’m not seeing benefits like these on Facebook. And to stay ahead, Wade says Outdoorzy will be releasing more benefits in the weeks and months to come. His goal is to go beyond what traditional websites and social networks provide to enhance members’ experiences by giving them the tools they need when they’re stuck inside.

Gee, I wonder if one of Wade’s future tools will be a fat goatskin o’ red?
