10 Gifts That ALL Backpackers Will Love!

[@cfoscoop]

is it bad that I'm using this as a gift guide for stuff to give myself? 😅

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

The perfect way to use this video

[@photographybyedselby7407]

Same - just subscribed to Trails (no idea it even existed until now)

[@Hike_and_Yap]

Why would it be bad….?

[@peggyconway2900]

Nope!

[@bobrice5159]

Self love is important my friend

[@juliaroe3499]

The bear can filled with stuff was a great idea!!! Immediately went to REI’s website and bought one plus some meals and snacks. Like a backpacker’s stocking. Lol.

[@bryangeoffrion]

For me it's all the consumable stuff I want! I have one of just about every piece of gear, and two of most things, but I hate spending money on expensive freeze-dried backpacking food. People think it's weird but I love getting a couple of peak refuel meals as a gift!

[@palazb]

Hey Miranda. For the Trails magazine, one thing I'd love to read about is hiking / camping with a dog. I have a Samoyed named Reginald, and I'd love to hike with him, but it scares me with all the preparation that would be required. Also, for stocking stuffers, small carabiners to help organise gear, and a pocket bellows to help with lighting campfires!

[@juniper1girl]

That kula cloth is awesome. Happy holidays Miranda and crew. Thanks for a year of awesome videos.

[@sarahbergeron.artist]

My older brother is a very experienced backpacker and climber and has never owned a pillow. Because of your videos I bought him the fillo elite pillow for Christmas and I can't wait to give it to him!

[@oliverlegorreta4611]

Loved the video! It would be awesome if you could post another one next year but a little bit earlier because secret santa exchanges and just in general gift buying is easier to do and we have a better chance to get it in time the earlier we order it, i say this because where i live there aren’t many shops for stuff like this and buying online is the only option. A side from that i loved the video. Keep up the incredible work- a fan from mexico

[@Kvothe3]

Consider this video an extra early entry for next year 😂

[@leeperkins963]

Merry Christmas Miranda, Rainer and crew! Thanks for all the great adventures and information. Can’t wait to see what you do next! Happy new year everyone 🎉

I use my Sea to Summit sleeping bag liner instead of a quilt for summer camping when I know the temps are not going to get below 60° F. Less weight and packs smaller too.

[@gpurcell]

Just spent three weeks in Nepal solo with a Garmin (Sapphire Fenix) and I can't speak highly enough about just how amazing it is to have a map on your wrist with preloaded GPS tracks saved to it. Game changing for navigation. I literally helped out a friend's Nepali guide with pathfinding a couple of times!

[@jeffreycarman2185]

[@kat.p.b.5193]

great gift ideas... my current favorites: handmade ridgeline organizer, wool buff and long bamboo spoon😸

[@haleyeasterwood4553]

Those toe sleeves are AMAZING. I bought some after your video on how you stay warm in the winter, they're total game changers! I hope that you, Rainer, Tucker, and the crew have a safe and happy holiday season!

[@Alexandriniums]

1. I know this is irrelevant to the video, but your skin looks soooo dewy and luminous! Tip/tricks? 2. What are the slippery socky things you’re wearing? All the warm feets 🙌

[@RainerGolden]

Everyone blow this video up so I can afford that Rolex 😂

[@RainerGolden]

Okay but seriously though that Flextail pump is amazing. Highly recommend!

[@devlsmurf467]

Omega makes better watches at more affordable prices….just saying….:)

[@katherinelangford981]

Ok but the Pepsi shown is apparently discontinued so you'll have to get from grey market dealer. So you need this to massively blow up. But if you go with a different one get on an ADs list now because the wait is long. Might have a better chance with an Explorer II. Alternatively, I hear good things about the Garmin Instinct. Apparently it's great for back packing.

[@EmilyWard]

I am just so glad you tried a PStyle haha. So many of my friends swear by them.

[@bluemonkey0121]

I loveeee it! What a game changer for outdoor adventures!

[@brianmessick8593]

Miranda, your lookin mighty cute in that yellow hat! Nice

[@thecma3]

Silicone spoon!!! That thing cleans peanut butter containers like nothing else, too.

[@Wealth2Vault]

I saw you use the long spoon in your last video and I instantly needed it!!! Great idea hate getting food from the bag on my hand. Thanks for sharing!

[@lizzietrot2522]

Was watching a different Miranda goes Outside video when I got the notification for this video!!

[@TennesseeSlim]

The vescia bottle is awesome. Works better than a smart water bottle in the gravity system.

[@TannerB73]

My wife loves Kula cloths, and I got her yours, she absolutely loves it! 😊

[@rebeccasartcorner]

Just ordered a kula (amongst some other things), can’t wait to actually get to try it! But have tried the Nemo pillow since you recommended it and I disliked it so much😬 it was too thin for me to be comfortable on it and it started leaking the first trip i was using it on. I woke up several times during the nights because all the air had leaked out. However, I agree that a pillow is a must on a several day hike😊

[@mireilledionne218]

The flextail tiny pump 2 can also be used to deflate bags. During my next trip to the sun I will try a new method of packing which is to remove the air in my packing bags and I will use my flextrail tiny pump to do so.

[@operageek]

Hi Miranda , I just got my Kula cloth gosh darn ! A gift from me to me ! Happy Holidays to you and the Crew!

[@hikeon8988]

Torrid Apex jacket, Torrid pants. Custom color combo. 😎

[@walenciak]

Love how you consider first aid a fun printed design. ;)

[@PackRaftTheWorld]

Excellent list - on the stocking stuffer, trade in your knife for the one with nail clippers and it would be perfect 🙂

[@walenciak]

Maybe. I use the scissors for clippers on trail.

[@PostcardsFromTheStreet]

I already purchased the KULA! Came a day ago! I love it and I got a free KULA leash with it and a sticker! Loved the note from you two. I did not know about Trails. I will have to subscribe. Thank you!

[@kat.p.b.5193]

just back from an impromptu hang... the best item i took with me were some down socks- toes stayed toasty in the hammock! would be an excellent gift

[@Suz_place]

Great list! Happy Holidays and New Year 🎉

[@hannahheather2004]

I was just racking my brain about the toe covers! I work outside and get cold feet easily. I'm gonna have to try them out. Happy Holidays!

[@SCPackerfan]

I bought the toe sleeves for myself earlier this year. I haven't had to wear them - yet. I will be camping with our Scout Troop in January and will look forward to breaking them in.

[@websurferx]

Great list! Every recommendation is spot on. I either have these items or would love to get them as a gift.

On my Christmas list this year: a new and better thermos, some stasher bags, a Nocs provision zoom tube and a Parks Ontario passport! I got a new snowshoe/poles and carry bag kit for my husband so he can join me on my adventures.

[@weronikawalker9650]

OOOOOh your Kula cloth is amazing! I'd get it if I didn't already have two;). Also, I love short gaiters and waterproof (non isolated, just waterproof) mittens, my husband got me both as a gift and they are amazing.

[@aRVeesBlog]

Great list, and video! I highly recommend Wazoo gear for your bandanas!! Dustin and Nick teamed up with Dr Nicole Apelian to make a bandanna…it highlights the 12 most common wild edible/medicinals and fungi in North America. It’s a FANTASTIC piece of gear, from an AWESOME company!! Their Viking Spark necklace is also a great piece of stylish gear…knife sharpener AND a ferro rod in one handy piece. 😊 Merry Christmas!!

My wife’s MOST favorite gift is the SheFly hiking pants. Wayyyyy better than carrying a Vunnel.

[@Autumn1988]

I haven’t quite mastered my flex tail tiny pump yet (pulling it out without deflating in the process) but I love the concept and that it’s a tiny light 💡too

[@borobdin]

How were you blowing it up before without it deflating when you stopped blowing? Pretty much ever pad I've seen either has a one way valve or an external twist lock. One way valve ones shouldn't deflate when you remove the pump (make sure you're engaging the one way valve, some have that nested inflate plug within a deflate plug design and others have a switch between deflate and inflate). If it's an external twist lock, then don't pull the pump. Just leave it on the whole time while locking it.

[@Art-at-the-Fortress]

This video is perfect timing! I am struggling to think of gifts for my husband and the holidays are sooooo close 😬

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

[@photographybyedselby7407]

I hike with a Pixel, but the battery life is The Suck (died on my hike this weekend). I was waffling about the Garmin Instinct for weeks, and finally, last night after my hike, pulled the trigger and ordered the Instinct (solar). Your comment about it being the best hiking watch you've used made me feel so much more bettererer about my purchase (now I need to find the videos for setting it up for hiking and disabling or deprioritizing the non-hiking stuff)

[@amigatommy7]

Nice air pump.

Don Juan definitely caught things... but needed antibiotics to get rid of them. 😅

[@jito7377]

Is that a deco stove?

[@Karen-dq8nw]

I can blow up my sleeping pad far faster than the pump. One more doodad you don't need in your pack. I like the idea of a small bear canister filled with food! Actually about any backpacking food meal is a great gift!

imho if a pump isn't a stocking stuffer it's too expensive. is it really sensible to spend dozens of dollars for a few seconds saved?

The link for the kula cloth has an extra e at the end so it breaks if you click it! But excited to go get one :D

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

Wow great catch! Thank you! Just fixed that and the link should work now! 💚

Can anyone vouch for the quality of the Garmin Instinct? I have a fenix 2 bought in 2015 that still works, except that Bluetooth seems to have died (it’s also monster sized and I can’t wear it all the time). When the fenix 2 stopped working on the road, I bought a Forerunner 35 that had connection problems and died for good after one year and 12 days. I considered the Instinct, but they were sold out of the smaller version, and in any case I was hesitant because I don’t trust Garmin quality after the forerunner 35 experience. In august I bought a forerunner 45 that has been buggy connection-wise from the start. I’ve called Garmin at least six times (other times I figured out the issue myself), but they refuse to acknowledge that I have a defective watch. They seem to think it’s normal to have to completely reset and reregister the watch. Who’s had an Instinct that has lasted, trouble free?

Catch rain water instead of filtering poop. Melt snow instead of filtering poop. Look to history and survival manuals for the recipes. F'sake! Respect from OR Zippy

In addition to kula cloth, a bidet! For gas stove users, the refill adapter, and adapters for other kinds of canisters. The refill one is just amazing. I find half used canisters here and there and end up not needing to buy half as much fuel. Also, when legislation permits, a twig stove is so cool and environmentally friendly, so that is my first gift to any backpacker/hiker friends.
