This contest has ended. Congrats to Matt Bernard for coming up with this answer:

“First and foremost, everyone here are idiots because the chances of encountering a mountain loin or a bear in the secluded forests surrounding Government Camp is slim to none. And slim just left the building. However, a very real concern when camping around Govy is food supply. Everyone loves a hearty All Beef Boa from Cobra Dogs or a Volcano Cone to cool the nerves on a hot summer’s day, but those things cost money. Money is something that you obviously don’t have an abundance of if you are a snowboarder camping in Govy. Without money there is no food. Lack of food and nutrition can quickly result in certain death. Luckily, you have your Drop Goggles and Mitts to easily capture prey. The mittens can be tied to a string and thrown out onto the sidewalks of Govy. The tall tee-clad skiers will quickly notice the fabric on the mittens that resembles a Jordan Shoe. Like a vampire needs blood, these skiers will use any means necessary to obtain these mittens. At this point you will slowly drag the mitten back to your campsite. The skier or skiers will follow, reluctant to notice you or the string. Once you are close enough to your campsite, you can have your accomplice put on the Drop Goggles to conceal his or her identity. Then your accomplice will swiftly grab a
hold of the bottom of the skiers tall tee from behind and stretch it over the victim’s head, quickly immobilizing him. Now that the skier is confused and flustered, you can smash the Drop Goggles under foot and use the sharp lens shards to put as many holes in the skiers body until he can’t possibly survive. Now you should have a sufficient food source for up to a few weeks if you can store the meat properly. Skier meat is full of bountiful nutrition that can keep you energized on and off the mountain.”

Drop rider Forest Bailey lives in the woods. He was bred in Vermont, but has migrated west to mountain towns where a person with the VT tolerance for the elements can survive comfortably without walls or indoor plumbing. Warm mittens and goggles do prove useful when the mercury plummets and thanks to Drop Forest’s hands and eyes never suffer. Watch Forest’s Shred to Toe from the link below and then comment telling us how Forest’s mittens and goggles could be repurposed when livin’ off the land (like protecting your eyes when you’re skinning a boar). Best answer gets the Goods: Drop Espi gogs and Boundary III mitts.

As everyone should know, a couple of snowboarders camping in the mountains probably means they're cultivating a stash of weed nearby. The careful craftsmanship of the gloves would ensure the tender buds would not be harmed in the inspection, picking, and handling process. The goggles would provide eye protection from the smoke when lighting up, or so I am told.

So the goggles are there so that when the bitch your pleasuring squirts, that it doesnt get into your eyes and ruin your contacts. ( Even if you dont have contacts, no one likes piss in their eyes) Oh and the mitts are there to help you look like a ballin pimp. All pimps wear mitts if you didn't know!

gloves and goggles to protect from the blood splatter, when murdering his victims in the woods.

By: Travis

The gloves provide the perfect non slip grip for carrying around your massive knife for hunting down dinner, whatever you prefer, fish, deer, bears! And the goggles make you look oh so sleek while running down deer on foot, and pouncing down on bears from a fifty foot tree. You need some why to keep everything from getting in your eyes with those daring feats.

By: Taylor Mann

Well goggles would be for keeping the blood out of my eyes when i backhand the crap out of those bears. The gloves would make my pimp hand even stronger

the gloves would come in handy when trying to pull a potatoe out from near the coals where it was cooking, and when you got a real raging inferno theyd come in handy as oven mits. if you were to try and catch some food for fishing the shiny goggles could come inhandy as a lure, or if the lens is polarized you can try to redirect sunbeams to start fires or solartoke.

Goggles are for protecting your eyes when your running in the woods in the middle of the night while a bear is wreaking havoc in your camp site. The gloves would be useful when he comes back to fight the bear (boxing) :)

Make a bear stare goggle-eyed at your charming goggles = make your hunting a piece of cake. And after your heroic victory, the mitt will help you roast the beast and maybe even bake a piece of bear cake...

Step 1: Pour a single shot of Wild Turkey into Drop ESPI goggles. Step 2: Repeat step 1 five times. Step 3: Wait 10 minutes. By now, you, Forest Bailey, should have enough courage to duel Mt. Hoods resident Big Foot, and thus, claim the territory as your own. Step 4: Place Drop ESPI goggles over eyes to shield from any blood splatter, and/or to hide cowardice tears that may be developing. Step 5: Secure Drop Boundary III Mitts properly over both hands to insure you leave behind NO PRINTS. Authorities will be searching for whoever is responsible for handing Big Foot's ass to him. Step 6: Drink to handing Big Foot's ass to him.

These Swaggles would make perfect head gear in case you met some super fine tree huggers out in the back country.....the gloves could be used as condoms

By: Mike

Seeing that I was stuck in the woods with no flowing water and the need to stay alive, I would urinate into the inside of the googles, using the foam liner to filter out the unwanted mineral elements. I would then use the completely waterproof gloves to capture the filtered and now drinkable urine water, thus ensuring my existence continued and the shred could go on!

first use the goggles to fry up some ants magnification style. Snack on most but save some for fishing. Strap on the goggs the peep underwater for fish. Remove the clip that attaches the gloves together and rig it as a hook on the goggle strap. bate with fried ants. cook dinner over a fire you started with you goggles and the sun and use the mits as hot pads to cook and eat that fresh mountain fish.

Those goggles can keep your eyes safe from the fire storms of Pakistan when you hunt for oil-lizards. The mittens can will keep your hands from being eaten by Icelandic snow owls while you cross the Russian planes on your wooden tricycle.

A Canadian thought. Using the Goggles will help when chopping onions to add to the wabbitt hat you just strangled with the mitts.The mitts would also help keep the blisters away when chopping wood to cook the wabbitt. All else fails visit a pawn shop and buy a meal at Tim Horton's.

A recent study showed that the Drop EPSI Goggles make mountain lion hunting 300 times more fashionable. Besides looking good while being a man, you can take the gloves and stick them on the paws of the dead cougar that you've just man handled. The poster of you in your stylish goggles trophy showing your cougar wearing some rad mittens should earn enough money to get whatever else "necessities" you could want in the woods.

He could use the goggles for deflect narley toe nail clipping from hittin my in the eye lmaooo Jokes..... You could use the goggles for when you go fishing with your bare hands, then he can see under water and pull a sneak attack on the fishes. He could also use the gloves for swatting bugs and small animals like squirels and chipmunks.

well considering that the awesomeness of the drop gloves will give you incredible strength (and not to mention style), you can easily push a tree over and then karate chop the tree into fire wood. With the google, you can use them like a magnifying glass and concentrate the sun onto some dead leaves or grass and make fire. You can then use the karate-chopped fire wood to make your small, puny fire into a gigantic, balzing inferno. You can also use the googles to go swimming, and because they make everything so clear, you can grab fish right out of the water. You won't get hypothermia because the gloves will keep you nice and toasty. That way you can eat all the fish you want, cook them over a tall, roaring fire, and still stay extremely fashionable and stylish!!!

these gloves and goggles have a very great use for when wrestling bears, every wilderness buffs favorite past time. the gloves help both to protect your hands for when you punch that bear out cold and the grip on them help for when your trying to pin the bear down. the goggles make bear wrestling so much simpler because they stop your eyes from getting damaged fromthe savage beasts claws and help you have perfect visibilty on those day where the bear just seems to blend into its surroundings.

Well if your deep in the snow covered moutains you may run into to the Abominamal Snowman, other wise known as Gary. Now Gary is a total fun guy but when he's pissed you'll know it. If you dont get him a present on his bday then he'll be super pissed. So if you gave him the goggles he wont be pissed. But when he puts them on you pull them all the way off his face, which will give him a good smack. If you knock him out you went to far. But if you did knock him out you could just give him the gloves, but before you give him the gloves you betch slap him up a bit just to tell him whose boss. If you follow all these skills you'll be a total baller in the wilderness.

Deep in the mountainous terrain it can get pretty sketchy so one must always be well prepared for dangerous situations such as running into a Sasquatch. As most of us experienced campers know the Sasquatch can be very territorial thus having the ever so reliable Drop goggles and mittens can come in mighty handy. These magnificent creaters are not just a smelly hair and tiny brains, in fact they are quit smart and often go straight for the nuts if they feel threatened. But thanks to those developers at Drop that allow this goggle to double as a much needed nutcup in times of desperation such as this. Leaving the beast stunned as he realizes you are unphased by his massive foot connecting with your manhood you can then throw your mittens on and give him 5 fingers to the face, SLAP!!! This is the only proven method of defending yourself against the feared creature. One smack with these mittens and he will wish he never crossed your path.

The goggles are perfect for when you are sitting by the campfire, to keep the smoke and sparks out of your eyes. And the gloves work great as luxury ass wipers.

Those goggles seem perfect to protect your eyes from the wood Will is chopping or when its a "rainy day" in Will's tent [8 girls ;)] Gloves seem like they are the perfect way to get water and pour in some bubbly.

Caves make excellent shelters. Except their mostly always filled with bat guano. This is only a concern if your worried about going blind. To prevent this you must wear the Drop ESPI Goggle. Caves can also be wet and damp so you'll already be wearing the Drop Boundary III Mitt, but diamonds and crystals can be very sharp so they'll also protect you while your trying to make a few extra bucks.

With the mitts he could jerk it and it would feel like some hot Govy sasquatch lady, and with the goggles it would prevent shooting it into his eye.

By: Josh Hansen

first I would hand those goggles over to Will as safety for choppin wood. The guy looks lethal with that axe. Those are sweet gloves, but when push comes to shove, you might need those for back up when you run out of toilet paper

When a mix between a bear and a mountain lion sneaks up on you you could see it because your goggles keep the sun from blinding you and use your mittens to protect yourself while you punch it's teeth out and rip it's heart out... Then do some tai chi to offset the negative energy

Your out in the woods with three lovley ladies and Drop's amazing goggles, what do you do, spin the goggles and get busy.When it comes to sleepy time Drop's mittens are so warm you dont need a sleeping bag, just slip a pair on and your set.

A great way to stay clean from hunting a critter out in the wilderness would be to keep on the drop mittens and drop goggles. This way your hands and face dont get covered in blood. if there is no bowl for soup, the drop goggles can totally provide for you.

Drop makes quality shit. Besides looking super steezy in the wilderness of the west, Drops goggles provide as exeptional underwater goggles for when your hunting those feirce fishys, and when your all wet from your underwater adventure put those mittens to good use and dry off with a pair of drop mittens.

Living is the woods and beating your meat can get lame. Releasing that pent-up tension on a living person is sometimes needed. Using the gloves when committing rapes will help you not leave bruises or finger prints along with acting as a great gag. Goggles can be used to protect your identity, stop painful pepper spray, or when placed on the forehead act as a great shield when giving out KO head butts to victims.

When havin yourself a staring contest with the sun your gonna need yourself some quality goggles, and when night rolls around what better way to cook your supper than in a toasty pair of Drop mittens. Mmmmm Mmmmmmm gotta love the great outdoors.

considering the high chances of being mauled by a mountain lion, the gloves could be re purposed to back hand the fur right off the beasts back well the goggles can be used bart simpson style to sling yourself into a tree if the situation escalates because as you all know the drop bands don't break

Well...for the goggles, if he his thirsty and doesn't feel like doing the daily routine of drinking water...he can just shove his face into the snow and eat it without worrying about freezing his eyeballs out, thus keeping him happily hydrated! On the other hand, the mitts can be used to catch fish in the rivers. Slip em on and snag one. These mitts are so warm, itll cook the fish right in his hands and BAM! Dinner is served!

By: BB

I would use those as some Boxing gloves and Knock Johnny Lazz out cold! KO Motherfucker!

You gotta keep the goggle for transporting water and the straps for trapping wild animals. The gloves help when he is chasing after bears, straight up trees, and catching those slippery fish! Once you get the water on lock all you gotta do it put some leaves on the goggles and use them for dark night time slumber.

By: Glenn

November 12

You could obviously use your NIGHTVISION with INFRARED capability on the new Drop goggle to catch, fight, and eat mountanous night animals. AND you could use the SUPER GRIP gloves to scale trees and high up areas to dive bomb these nocturnal creatures and show em seven different kinds of smoke. BOOM.

When you are tanning hides for warmer blankets, you may want to keep your gloves on, while they are drying. Goggles are a great addition when you are cooking over a fire, they immediately cut the smoke. This also comes in handy when you get a hold of some wild onions, because goggles are very helpful in tear-prevention when chopping up onions. When you do get in a fight with a wild animal, you always want to have your gloves on to keep the blood off your hands if it's a fight to the death, which Forest will win. In the off chance you are in a fight with some rabid dogs, or any low fighting animal, it is a good idea to use your googles as a cup protector for your essentials. That way you will be able to raise a new generation of land dwellers, to carry on the Bailey name. Gloves also provide the means to be used as hot pads, if you are fortunate enough to have some metal to cook on. In this case, you might have made something makeshift out of beer cans, from a time when some migrant city dwellers rolled in to camp. Fortunately, if they brought bottles, you may be able to use the goggle clip to crack the bottle caps open on. The googles can also be rigged up to be used as a slingshot to shoot birds out of the air.

Well First of all The Goggles youll never have to worry about your eyes when choppin firewood or getting your eyes scratched out fighting a moutain lion! The mitts of course are used for reusable toilet paper wipe, wash, GOOD!
