I never realized that GGG is in St. Paul! Stopped and talked with Ned today, and he was SO NICE showing me around the space! Time to get an order together!

I feel like Christmas morning with Miranda would be such a joy

New favorite video. Editing alone should win an Oscar. These videos are a highlight of my week!

[EveryDayCharlie]

This is the kind of video this channel has lacked for a LONG time! I love Garage Grown Gear! I'm so glad you can expand to other brands other than what was available at REI!

[wednesdaysbliss]

MIRANDA! I got just as excited when you pulled out that EE puffy! Can you please maybe do a review eventually or let us know how you feel about it?! I’ve got one of their quilts and seriously one of the best pieces of gear I’ve ever purchased.

[wadelewis]

WOW ✌🏻❤️🏕🏔 thanks for another great and informative video. I would so love to sport that awesome light weight sweater. 😊Keep up the great work🎉

[teganlewis]

Girl look at all that good swag you scored! I love to support smaller companies. Lots of really great items.

[aleahduitsman]

I would LOVE the coat by Enlightened Equipment! My husband and I bought their sleeping bags and they are AMAZING!!!! I love that you want to support smaller brands like these. Very cool! :)

[kblrelf]

Definitely going to be checking out those Fossil plates, and the trowel. Also, congrats on setting out on your own. Stoked to see all the new content.

[jesskalisch]

Love this video and totally agree about the toothbrush (I never cut mine). Your account introduced me to the Kula Cloths and now I will never hike or backpack without one! I have a big trip at the end of this coming summer that I need the lightest weight gear for and so this is awesome!

[Bob-vblc]

The Mystery box contained some awesome gear. You have a joyful way of presenting the cool items. It's always good to watch you and the team. I would enjoy the dyneema pouches/bags or the ultralight trowel as my item of choice. Thanks Miranda.

The FarPoint Hoodie makes me so excited as I sit in snow covered Santa Cruz mountains with my power out and my feet in front of the fire

[suetonnesen]

Awesome and entertaining video today! Love the unboxing of cottage industry items in your garage. Please consider me for the foldable bowl…a great addition to my ever evolving and learning curve that comes with packing for a backpacking trip! 🥰🥰

[MZKPRODIGY]

I love the channel, always holds me over when life is too busy to get out hiking. I'd love the flat snap bowls honestly super cool.

[alysabethmahood]

All of the gear looks great! You do such a good explanation explaining each piece. I am really interested in the EE puffy jacket or the hoodie!

[jamesthornton]

That hoody or the puffy would be GGG is an awesome resource for UL gear. The fact they give cottage companies more reach for their innovative products, is such a novel idea. Glad to see you putting a spotlight on them.

Loved this video - I’m such a backpacking gear junkie - going on my second trip this year so I’m a newbie at 51! I followed your older videos and pretty much took your gear advice on everything! I was told I looked like I’d been doing it my whole life! ❤️ Thank you!! Love to hear more about that EE jacket!!

[mausball]

That hoodie looks amazing. Enlightened Equipment has been on my list for a long time.
