Backpacking with Funky Ultralight Gear From a MYSTERY BOX!

- *Check out all my favorite gear from Garage Grown Gear here: alnk.to/2Qw3IjR
I unboxed funky ultralight backpacking gear from a mystery box, and then took it backpacking! This is the third unboxing of ultralight and cottage brand gear I have done with Garage Grown Gear, and this time Lloyd (the CEO) and his team packed a mystery box of full of wild, wacky and unique ultralight backpacking accessories and luxury items for me to try! Of course I had to take all this weird gear backpacking right away, and on my trip I discovered that some of this gear honestly proved to not be that weird at all. Actually most of it was quite practical, and a few items I truly loved and are definitely staying in my pack permanently! Watch the video to see the adventure, and which gear I loved the most - plus the one thing I did not like at all. đ

Backpacking with Weird Ultralight Backpacking Gear!

I'd like to see a "finding backpacking gear in unexpected places" video. Harbor freight, Hardware stores, grocery stores, a fabric shop and so on. It would be a great way to talk budget / last minute gear as well as go into how a lot of the tiny garage grown gear companies got started.
Harbor Freight's little $3 LED flashlights are awesome. I bought a bunch and gave them to all the kids in my scout troop who never bring a flashlight camping.
Yes!!! A good portion of my first backpacking kit came from Dollar Tree. It is also where I buy almost all of my backpacking snacks
I agree! Maybe Canadian Tire or Home Hardware.
I love this idea!
Me three!
This was genuinely one of my favorite trips weâve done. Stunning place!! Take me back! Navaho Pass via Stafford Creek if anyone is wondering. đ
The sporkie bit was genius, btw! đ
Looks great, awesome vid guys. More east coast hikes would be dope (Virginia area, Adirondacks, northeast, etc)
Itâs beautiful. Thanks for sharing those amazing views of the ridge
I tried the Vaucluse ventilation piece on a backpacking trip to Cumberland island that was quite hot. I had the same experience. I had to be super careful taking it off and putting it on. I did like having the pack off my back a bit but when it comes undone it would stab me in the back.
Such wise words...
"The difference between a good time and a bad time is just the noise you make." -Miranda
I'm going to get a tattoo of this. This is simply brilliant.
I need there to be merch (stickers) with this on it.
We all get older, but we don't have to grow up. Never stop enjoying the silly things, it what makes you videos so fun.
The pillow works pretty good to put between your knees when sleeping on your side. Helps rest your hips.
"You're fine too."
Y'all really know what your audience expects from you.
15:56 thereâs a new toxic lookalike in the west. An experienced elder morel forager died in missoula. The deaths in Bozeman were due to undercooking & irresponsible people, BUT the missoula incident was a lookalike. Iâm out until we have guidance on the difference. Other parts of the US have less easy to ID morels. Super duper happy she is taking it home, pls always have someone confirm your haul!!! I m anxious but since this video posted Iâm assuming it was a good morel lol
And the morel of the story: Beware of chance finds on the trail.
From what I've seen, the bad ones don't have the same kind of cavitation as the real ones. Similar shape but they look more like melted plastic.
What I came to the comments section for, thanks!
I havenât ever foraged any mushrooms. Makes me kinda nervous, but I know that look alikes never look identical. So, if I had some education Iâd probably be more confident.
Mushroom picking tip: cut off the base of the stem with dirt before you bag it up, so you don't get dirt all over your morels! It's probably best practice to just cut/pinch the stem at ground level to pick it, leaving the base in place, but long-term studies haven't really shown one method to be better than the other at this point (that I'm aware of). Nice find, they're my favorite.
Agree. Once that dirt or sand gets in the mushroom cap itâs very difficult to clean it out and you will be eating the grit. Great to find that mushroom!
Per our mycologists, it's best practice to pick the whole mushroom including the base because in many mushrooms (such as Amanitas) the main features for distinguishing between an edible and poisonous species are on the base (it probably doesn't matter in morels though). Source: we Czechs are probably the most passionate mushroom foragers in the world, it's pretty much a national sport - and we forage an insane variety of species including several Amanitas (very tasty!) so articles by mycologists are pretty much a constant presence in the media during summer and fall.
Agree with cleaning off the dirt right away, that's gonna be impossible to get off after it's been carried around for two days.
Any chance of doing a video of just how to find a place to backpack. Like how to find where you're allowed to camp.
Couples different avenues depending on where you live.
"How to find a place to backpack" doesn't have much in the way of sponsor opportunities, which this channel seems to be very fond of.
@@GetUpTheMountains youtube revenue isn't great and they no longer have REI's funding either.
Do a google search for National Forests in your state. See if any have a Wilderness. Google that wilderness for backpacking. The National Forest web site has a plethora of general information how these topics.
For instance I live in Washington state. I took a road atlas and I chose Ohio. Never been to that state. They have Wayne National Forest. So I googled Wayne National Forest and one of the items that had a hyper link to was hiking. Clicked on that and I found Wildcat Hollow trail 17.5 miles for backpacking. Less than 5 minutes I already have a destination to look into. Call the Athens District ranger station will help gather more information about the trail. This also gives me something to google which 10 seconds later I had a list of sites that had information including Alltrails.
3 things to keep in mind. Difficulty, mileage, and weather. If you're new to backpacking keep your difficulty low and mileage low (4-6 miles) until you're ready to try more challenging terrain and mileage. Don't jump from 4 to 15 miles. Try 4 then maybe 8 then 12 miles and so on. Weather is something that can't be controlled so you need to learn how to deal with inclement weather. Basically timing is one way of dealing with it. If you can time the weather so it is coming in when you are back at the trailhead is one way of dealing with it but still get out (may not be out as long as you like but you got out). At the same time not have to deal with it.
I'm not sure Darwin was thinking, "Hey guys, let's make a really cute pot," but I guess that's what he got đ I like that pot because of the wooden handle on the lid. I have a Toakes 750ml, and I'm always forgetting to pull that teeny little tab on the lid before I boil my water, so the wooden one would be helpful. I like the bail too, I do occasionally cook over a fire.
Maybe Rainer, you should make Miranda a treasure map to her bear canister next time you hide it on her đ€Ł
I thought that was Darwins pot.
Toaks has one with a bale as well. But yes the wooden handle is better.
Yes! All I could think was Darwin definitely did not design that pot was cuteness in mind! đ and yet, I agree itâs a super cute pot.
Seems to fail as a cup though.
â @@absofjelly I donât think moving your lips over one inch makes the pot fail as a cup.
Not me yelling at my phone âMIRANDA LOOK TO THE LEFTâ for your bear can đ
are you the girl from a video where miranda took you first time hiking? :)
@@Naglis91 the very same!
@@pamlavallee9051 Hi, When is the next time you and Miranda go hiking together, it was fun to watch đș
@@felixchaus stay tuned and youâll see me soon enough đ
@@pamlavallee9051 woohoo! I've been waiting for more Pam videos
Speaking of funky ultralight gear, I got the MGO pattern LightAF pack for my wife's birthday in. Just in time for our hike this week. She loves it!
After seeing the RovyVon mini pocket flashlight on another video I purchased one for my husband and myself. It lives in my pocket everyday. Big thumbs up on that one. We highly recommend it.
I want to say I dig the show... and that thanks to you every time I go hiking people think Im insane... when I cross a bridge, I have the uncontrollable need to say "bridge bridge bridge bridge" đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Miranda: We have barely left the trailhead. Lets go. Why is that always our biggest problem?
Rainer: Yeah, "our" biggest problem...
đ "me" problems are "we" problems on this channel
@@MirandaGoesOutside Itâs too true đ€Ł
Did we get to bottom of what the pink on the leaves was though?
@@RottenlyMoodyChild It looks like a gall, caused by a spider mite which lays eggs there!
@@MirandaGoesOutsideâThis is our problem, gosh darn.â
YES! More vids like this one, please! Always like to see the GGG stuff in action before I consider purchasing. Thank u, Miranda...and Rainer. đ
Hi Miranda! 66YO newbie backpacker here that just found your channel. Gosh Darn, you are entertaining, enlightening, AND SOOOO enthusiastic. "eee"! Seriously, I am taking your tips and suggestions to heart as I assemble my "schtuff" to go on my first trip with my son and grandsons soon. Thanks so much for the hard work you put into your shows!
Ooh, I hope it is/ was fun! Give those boys a run for their money. â€
Consecutive Miranda Goes Outside!! videos without a burp: 0
x2
Somebody needs to make a compilation đ
Omg the amount of dust that came off her car when she shut the door đđ
đ it needs a good spa day
@@MirandaGoesOutside Gravel roads will do that!
I was thinking the same thing đ
This happens all the time with my work truck.
Those dusty roads will do that!đ
Yes go wilder. MORE FUNK đ
Good job showing off funky stuff. I think the flashlight is an A+++ winner
Have had a rovey flashlight for almost 5 years. Glad to see they are getting attention.
But I'd probably lose it too.
â@@amywert8088I keep mine on a keyring in a zippered pocket when it's not clipped to my cap
@@amywert8088 on my second Rovyvon flashlight - because I lost my first.
That pot will give you options if the fuel canister runs out before you get back. The pot, a fixed blade knife, a lighter, and rope will get you out of a lot of jams.
And as a music teacher, yes I can confirm the noise that you make can make things way more fun! LOL love that!
Poor Sporkie⊠heâs been replaced. Thanks Miranda, Rainer and Abby for another great video. YAAWWWWP!
YAWWWWPP!!!
âYou gram peopleâ to describe the metric system đ So much of the gear seemed a little quirky but the flashlight was cute!
"You foot people" should be used to describe both US Americans in general and Quentin Tarantino in specific lol
Loved the "ounce-holes" on the mapâ€
I never wake up "early" on a Sunday, but apparently get rewarded with a new Miranda video when I do!!
I read this and was like "no wonder I didnt watch this on release" yeah it's currently 21:50 at my place... That means this uploaded 18:00 or 6pm for you non metric people đ...
You guys are absolutely fantastic!!!
@Miranda - if only 2% of the humans on this planet had your personality the world would forever be at peace.
@Ranier - You are the best at what you do. Perfect!
Regarding more "Funky Gear" videos - Hell YES!! That how we find the good stuff.
Happy trails,
Bubba
Got to remember the "ounce holes"! Never heard that before... Thanks for that, a gram person from Switzerland
Love the Vaucluse frame! But you for got the zip ties that prevents it from coming apart. I also super glued the two pieces together.
Miranda - Thank you for sharing your absolutely pure joy with us. Yesterday was a downer, but this was the pick me up I needed!
And, yes, please try ALL the funky gear!
For those pillows, I find them great but only if you partially inflate, wrap your jacket around it and then also use your buff to hold it all together. Then they are great.
That sounds like a lot of work. Until I think itâs only an extra step from what I do. đ
When you see one morel, you often find moreâŠI have found one lonely singleton though. When you harvest, cut or pinch off at the stem. That leaves enough to come back, if not this season, the next. Also, when you soak it at home, dump the water where they are likely to grow. I dumped the water from some and two years later, there are a bunch where they had never been before. Great video, always love seeing others out in nature when I canât get out there myself.
The "leaving enough for the mushroom to regrow" is just a myth. The mushroom is just a fruiting part, it's going to die off anyway. The mycelium is the actual body of the fungus and it's spread over many square meters (or in some cases, even acres). It's gonna grow tens or hundreds more mushrooms, all in different places.
It's like saying that when you're picking an apple off the tree you need to leave the stem so that it will fruit again. The important part for growing more apples is the tree, not the apple fruit. Same with mushrooms except you can't see the "tree" because it's underground.
â@@Baysha1000thank you! I was going to leave a similar comment but you beat me to it.
âThe difference between a good time and a bad time is the noise you make.â This was definitely a "good time" noise!
PS, I am NOT a backpacker, nor a hiker - heck, I barely get out of my house! But I love to be entertained!
Thanks to Miranda, Rainer, Abby and the team for bringing it consistently.
I think the next one needs to be a collection where the medical pillow is the most normal thing in the entire loadout. đ
I just got home from my first backpacking trip in 2+ decades. Spent 2 nights in the Lost Creek Wilderness in Colorado. Had a great time, though definitely overpacked on the camera gear I brought with me. Thanks Miranda for helping me get outside for a solo backpacking trip! The Cnoc bag and bottle worked amazing for filtering water. Definitely one of my favorite pieces of gear that I picked up from watching your channel
The little "jig" Miranda did at the end made me think of the elevator dance from Gangnam Style but if we were looking from the backside
My boyfriend and I literally drove around the burns in our area looking for morels. Didn't find any. Then we got to our established campsite for the night and I looked down while leveling our camper and my partner had stepped on a morel and there was one more just chillin beside the smooshed one waiting to be picked đ
"this is a human infested campground" đ - also the wasps in Angeles National Forest from summer - early fall
I agree. I didnât think that stuff was very funky. I think you can go WAY funkier. Do it!
Oh, yeah! Let's always unpack funky stuff and get Miranda's reaction!
The pot is from Darwin on the trails company.
The pink splotches on the maple leaves are Erineum galls, which are caused by eriophyid mites. They're magenta pink with a felt-like texture.
This should be the top comment. I scrolled all the way down here to find this. Thank you.
Would definitely love to see another video like with even funkier equipment! And thank you guys, this channel has inspired me to get back to hiking and such after being away from it for a few years.
As another very sweaty human being, I swear by packs with ventilation. I'm sure you know that they make packs with built in ventilation, which is usually mesh and far more breathable than the plastic one. But I will say devices like that are great because they open. Up so many more possibilities for packs.
Fantastic video! The UL sandals are amazing for the weight, don't use them for water crossings, just for camp or for mid day stops to air out your feet. The zero pump however doesn't have enough air pressure to fully inflate an air mattress if you like it firm, so you have to add a few breaths in. The tiny2x air pump solves that, and also has a long lasting lantern.
12:56 the dust cloud shutting the hatch back may be my favorite part
The RovyVon light is definitely a winner. There is a little learning curve with the button combinations to turn it on and cycle through the modes, but it's a solid piece of gear in my kit.
I tried to like the Mayfly sandals, but the lack of real traction was a deal breaker for me.
I have one of those Brautigam spoons (not the spork) on my GGG wishlist. I've already got a decent spoon, but if family members are interested in getting me a gift, they can get me one of those.
I've tried those toothpaste tabs and they are not for me. I love the concept, but my teeth didn't feel clean after using them. I also use a folding travel toothbrush that I like better than those weird ones from GGG.
As others have stated, that pot was designed and produced by Darwin of Darwin on the Trail. He had function in mind, not cuteness, but it might not fit your use case.
Yes, please do another funky backpacking gear video. I'd like to see that.
I donât think Iâve laughed so hard at one of your videos. This is a classic. The spork đ sommelier
i like sleeping on my side with my blanket bundled between my arms so my shoulders dont collaspse on itself and bought that pillow 3 years ago. Love it. đ
Yes, to all the funky gear videos. đ
Confessions: I now take two sporks. One lives in my food bag and one lives with my pot.
I have 4 that live in the brain of my pack until the first night out. Then the ones I will need stay with the pot and the rest go into the brain again. You would be surprised how many people I camp with who don't bring spoons.
That pot is the one designed by Darwin. The wooden handle on the lid is definitely the stand out feature, and the lid fits most standard pots, since they're all designed around the typical stove diameter.
So even if I take one of my other pots, I always take that lid with me.
Rovyvon is the best item in the box by far. Absolutely love that thing. Has replaced all my headlamps for 1-2 day trips
Yeah definitely agree! Powerful little light!! I was so impressed watching Miranda use it. I immediately ordered that Brautigam spork as well. Absolutely love it!
@@RainerGolden I tested the fire maple 600 mL petrol this last weekend high up in the San Juans and it was awesome. Not sure if you've tested that out yet but worth a shot. How do you all like the Nemo Hornet Elite 1p?
@@skidrx Love my Firemaple pot. It is now the only one I use and pick stoves that will fit it.
Iâd like to see you try out the lightest and sketchiest backpacking tent you can find that is truly a tent and not a tarp!
Your videos never disappoint. Please, go wilder! đ
That sky, the moon! And Miranda air-planing her new spoon around... no wonder she gets long so well with Jayne!
Also, I didn't recognize the pot as Darwin's design (thanks comments section) it's like a throwback to when I was a kid, things had more cute details!
@@amywert8088 One of Mirandaâs favorite sayings is, âBuy it âcause itâs cute!â So I hope folks didnât interpret her saying itâs cute as a criticism. đ
@@RainerGolden Lol I HOPE not! That would be silly... :)
Love the rusted root reference!!
Am I the only one that filled in "oh a deer" with "a female deer"đ¶?
Nope.
OMG I love these videos! I'm always laughing through them! Miranda, you are hilarious! Rainer and Abbey, your editing is on point! And together this is the best!
GGG making ultralight accessible with a $1.99 pillow đ
I am loving that you are catering for us metric people
OK. I watch this channel to have fun. Miranda is fun. Rainer is an incredible shooter and editor. You two make a good team. My backpacking days are in the past, motorcycles and motorcycle camping are my jam. Thanks for making me smile. And since I'm a guy I love flashlights. I bought one in this film. I have many. I like stuff that blows up too. I'm a guy.
you're gonna have a party on the brim of the hat with that flash-lite lol!
One of my fave videos ever. I love how genuine ya'll are. Those camp shoes are ridiculous...my tevos are my water crossing shoes and a back up pair of shoes so worth the weight!
I love your unboxing videos!! I am always looking for innovative gear and would really enjoy seeing some of the weird stuff in the wild! More please!
Love it! I'd love to see additional funky gear, but please don't go so funky that the items simply aren't practical too
đ†I love your content! You always put a smile on our faces. Thank you for these product reviews and taking the chance on them so we know how they work!
"For all you gram people" 3:57 đ
Hilarious and mellow at the same time! You struck just the right balance. More funky gear vids pls!!
I wanted to say how much I'm enjoying your videos. I'm not an "outdoorsy" person but have started taking my 2 year old on short hikes. Next stop car camping, then hopefully backpacking (might wait a few years for that one). I guess that's what condo living + mom guilt will do, motivate you to get your butts outside as much as possible lol
I hope your kid learns to love going outside. Mine decided she no longer had any interest at age 10 or 11. I didnât start until she was 5 or 6. I was too sick before that.
Edit to add that up until then we had lots of fun. â€
A resounding yes to more funky gear videos. Or as someone else already said, gear from unexpected stores.
As a car camper who needs her sheepskin boots to hit the pit toilet (I didnât say I was a rich car camper), those cardboard flip flops just look terrifying. I realize backpackers rarely use vault toilets, lol but donât take those to the campground (donât even think about digging poop holes in a campground!!! Use the dang outhouse, wear closed toe shoes$
The back ventilation pack comes with a few pieces of Velcro that you are supposed to use to attach it to your straps. Before I figured that out it fell off of me too. Once I started using the Velcro I really started enjoying it.
Yay! New video. Ive been waiting. Loved this one.
I love the Xero Genesis sandals, tiny to pack down, 136g in weight and amazing quality
I was having a pretty bad day, but you made me laugh and now I feel much better. Thank you! Also, I would love to see another "funky" gear video in the future.
Love it!! Please do more with funky gear. Iâm getting the flashlight!!
I love the amount of dust/pollen that came off the rear car door when you closed it. đ€§
Of course we want to see you review more funky gear! â€
This was a great video!
That flashlight is dope actually, I got one for music festivals for when I need to squeeze through people at night to go to the restroom for the 5th time during headliners show đ
I've had all of these items on a wishlist from GGG so I'm excited to see them in action!
I have a Rovyvon flashlight i keep on my keyring. I use it a lot and love it! If you aren't using it on a keyring, I recommend keeping it on a zippered pocket.
The pink or red things on the leafs are a type of leaf gall usually formed by mites or aphids to live in and feed off while maturing.
Best Teletubbie butt girl and funniest camping hiking channel ever!!đđđ
Iâve had that tiny flashlight for like 6 or 7 years. I keep it on my keyring, itâs the bomb
âMore hiking!â â€ïž
LOVE LOVE LOVE Rusted Root! The soundtrack to some of the best fun ive had in the woods.
This was more entertaining than I thought it would be. Love my Rovyvon flashlight, too!
Bring on the funky gear! I would love to watch you use & review more funky gear!
YES!!!! More crazy gear!!
Just went and was browsing GGG after watching this and stumbled across the Trailbrush. I hope they send you this tiny toothbrush next time you do a mystery box.
It should be noted that the weight on the Flextail Zero pump does NOT include either the battery or valve adapter. They've completely plastered the marketing material with the 1.2oz (35g) weight despite only be able to achieve that as little more that a paperweight in your pack lol. I believe it's about the same weight as their tiny pump x (model with out the lantern) by the time it's got a battery in it. Albeit with a more convenient form factor, but a much higher price tag.
fun concept, great video!
Scarlet Gila! The red wildflowers. Would be happy to help identify flowers! đ»đŒ
Yes to more funky gear! đđŒđđŒ
Sees wrapping paper "It's an ultralight sleeping pad!" I've died. đ Super great that you are double checking that morel. Despite people having told me there are no lookalike, there are. I found a whole bunch of the lookalikes during a hike once. It was very cool to dissect one and do the microscope and spore printing.
I plan to make a pair of Mayflies to use as campsite shoes. But I'm going to add traction tape to the bottom so I don't break my ass. đ That Evolutionkettle just went on my future purchases list! It'd be easy to hanv over a fire if I needed. I'm just not sure about the wooden lid handle. Seems counterintuitive to the bail feature. đ€
What kind of thread was in that gear repair kit?? Thanks for the video! And yes please, more weird gear videos!
This hike is now on my bucket list đź
yes! đŻ% go wilder gear!
I really like to see you try out alternative camping methods as well. Maybe different indigenous peoples camping styles!
