New Contest Can Reward You For Your Wyoming Adventures

Living in Wyoming, you've probably gone on adventures and needed to lug around a big cooler or a box with your food supplies. This also means you'll be packing it all back out when you leave.

Maintaining the cleanliness of Wyoming's parks, forests, and adventure areas is our responsibility. That's why you see signs saying 'Pack it in, pack it out.'

One way to eliminate the heavy, bulky, and awkward items you're carrying on your adventure is by purchasing freeze-dried meals ready-to-eat packages from companies like Mountain House. 

All you need is the package and hot water to prepare the food.

That's it.

The individual packages weigh between 5 and 9 ounces, allowing you to reduce the weight you're carrying significantly.

Mountain House has teamed up with TerraCycle to offer a free recycling contest for July and August. To be entered, you need to ship used Mountain House brand food pouches for recycling.

Visit TerraCycle.com, create an account, and join the program. You can use any box you have lying around the house and fill it with the used pouches. When the box is full, request a free shipping label and send it in to be recycled.

Mountain House has sponsored the contest, so you don't have to pay anything to ship the box in and to be entered for a chance to win one of three prize packs worth over $2,000.

This contest sounds like a great reason to get out and go on some fun Wyoming summertime adventures.
