Sharing & Staying Connected

Written By Guest User

Welcome to “A Million Miles From Monday”! We learned a lot during 2020 and want to build on two important aspects of our business, sharing and staying connected. We will use this blog as a place to share and stay connected. The goals are to:

  • Let you share your favorite hikes, runs, bike rides, and camping trips

  • Let you share your reviews on products

  • Let you share your knowledge

  • Highlight retail stores from around CA, AZ, NV, and HI each quarter

  • Highlight retail staff members each quarter

  • Highlight great things brands are doing 

  • Our agency will be providing scholarships for 2 trips for 2 retail staff members. You choose the destination we help fund it! 

  • Bring the Fun Back- “The Business of Fun!”

Big changes

We are excited to re-brand our agency under the name Earth Games. This has been in the works for several years, but we have continued to put off the transition. However, now is the right time for many reasons. There is a long history with Earth Games leading the way in the outdoor industry and we will share it all in the May blog post.  


Virtual Hangouts – Virtual Training

Do you or your staff need a refresh or updates on new products? We have you covered 12 months a year. We launched our virtual training platform on April 3, 2020, and the response has been amazing. We have a set schedule that you can access on our website under the virtual hangouts tab. In addition to this schedule, we have been working with stores and individuals to work with just your staff or in some cases one on one to just cover what you want to learn. For questions on our virtual training reach out to Tory Brydges http://tory@earthgames.com or call or text him at 951.675.1845.

Product Spotlight:

The Platypus QuickDraw will arrive in stores in mid-April.  

The QuickDraw Microfilter System draws upon decades of expertise in filtration and hydration to provide adventurers the best user experience of any fill-and-squeeze water filter on the market. The easy-to-use system comes in two parts: the durable and taste-free 1L QuickDraw reservoir and the hollow fiber filter cartridge.  Weighing just 3.6oz (101 g) and filtering up to 3L per minute, the QuickDraw system ensures quick and easy access to clean water on any adventure. You can either shake-to-clean the hollow fiber filter or perform a tool-free backflush to ensure the fast flow rates will stick around for the duration of your trips.
