Uh... "Miranda Goes Outside" should you not be going outside? How about a city stealth camping video, I dunno... like Steve Wallis makes maybe? We can't sit in the house pushing products all day, sometimes we have to go outside in nature and push the products. Thank you.

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

100% - I'm excited for some upcoming adventures to share with y'all. Thanks for bearing with me in this rainy, avalanch-y Seattle season, and stay tuned for the outdoor stuff!

[@schulzbrianr]

That plate/bowl combo looks really useful to have, and the measurements are a really nice touch, it would also be great if they had different "themes" to them, like ones with first aid and survival tips, ones with camping tips like how long to boil water or how far away to make camping/sleeping site from latrine and cooking sites, etc.

[@BillySBC]

@@MirandaGoesOutside Stealth camping videos... you don't have any of those I don't think. We gotta do this even if we ain't supposed to do it because... because... because we gotta stick it to the man, that's why! I think. I could be wrong. I could use a decent legal disclaimer right now.

[@wednesdaysbliss1]

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.

[@Kvothe3]

Any chance it was a synthetic Quilt?

[@andrewb9595]

Agreed. I've got a down EE quilt and it's my favorite piece of gear. My wife and I have actually used them on the couch in the winter.

[@wednesdaysbliss1]

Those Dyneema pouches look really handy for more sensitive items like electronics and such without the heft of typical waterproof protection!

[@Bob-vb8lc]

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.

[@philsantillan]

Love garage grown. I have the c Bidet and the brush from them. 😂. I’d love to try the “flat bowl” on the trail. ☺️

[@nrjohnosn92]

@@philsantillan I've got the flat bowls and they work well. I had to crease the seams a bit before the buttons would hold, but they've been great since doing that.

[@emmanuelhpun]

GGG includes the toothbrush as a freebie when they ship your order. Also, I used the nyloflume pack liner for about 10 overnight trips last year. It was really crinkly and loud for the first 1-2 trips, but got better as time went on.

[@pm_davidjones]

I wonder if they would 'soften up' if you put them through a cycle in the washing machine. I do that with my shower curtain liners so they are not so stiff.

[@emmanuelhpun]

@@pm_davidjones I like that idea of breaking in the nyloflume before using it. Probably crumpling or twisting it up repeatedly would achieve a similar effect. I guess hiking with it for a few days in my pack accomplished the same thing. To add, I know some people have had bad experiences with nyloflume liners, like breaking or the crinkly cellophane noise. But it's worked for me. Super light, waterproof (kept my sleep gear dry when a water bladder leaked in my pack), cheap and has held up. I got the 2-pack from GGG and still have the other one unused.

[@rjmalmo]

OMG those BOWLS are a freaking genius idea. As a Bikepacker, they would be game changers!

[@rjmalmo]

right now i bring bamboo plates and burn them on my last morning of camping but these plate/bowls would be fantastic. if i don't win i'm gonna order them ;)

[@melissarobinson9618]

That hoodie that you got is so awesome, you look great in that color Miranda! Now you have a fantastic collection of new gear that needs a field-test! 🎉

[@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.

[@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! 🥰🥰

[@Mahogany_boi]

It’s like I fell into a worm hole and got transported Into the 2010’s. I love unboxing video and I’m so glad you’re starting an unboxing series

[@CommissionerManu]

4:51 sapphics across the globe all simultaneously felt a ripple in the force, for something wonderful had been created

[@Zadok8611]

I love cottage gear. Most of my gear tends to come from Dutchware, Hammock Gear, or Warbonnet. Had no idea about Garage Grown Gear. There are some really neat things here. I love that someone has started a hub for these brands! I need those foldable bowls!

[@sybildavis-wr8bw]

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!!

[@midwestmikeonahike]

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!

[@brennanwehrle1892]

Ooh ooh, the Farpointe Alpha Cruiser is the one for me! My family and I are going around the world for two years right now, and I've loved trail running in my free time, but nothing has quite gotten that warm/light mixture just right yet. Love the video as always! :)

[@laurelg669]

The foldable bowl is so neat! Also intrigued by the teensy tiny pot grabber, would love to see that field tested.

[@meganv1735]

I personally have the exact foldable bowl. It came as a set on Amazon with a larger less deep plate and cup! Have tested them in the back country numerous times and they work great. Only caution would be they can be hot when holding them. They withstand high heat but you can feel the heat through the material. I love that they store completely flat and they are super easy to clean.

[@laurelg669]

@@meganv1735 Nice!! I've made a food cozy with a screw-top heatproof plastic bowl and the standard reflectix/foil tape DIY method. I was wondering if I could use the same type of cozy with a bowl like that as a liner on the inside instead. Do you think that would work? The food I bring is typically stuff you just pour boiling water into and wait (like oatmeal) so the main concern for me is keeping it hot while it rehydrates.

[@meganv1735]

I think it would for sure be worth a try!

[@meganv1735]

I would also recommend if you purchase them to snap them and leave them snapped for a bit before you plan to use them. It helps the ceases form for use.

[@ryanbrockhoff2796]

So happy for you to finally share GGG with your community! I've been getting UL stuff from them for a while and love a lot of their gear. Very interested to see how your gear changes as you start doing your own channel now! The Webo Fanny Pack is made of X-pac (or EPX200) and I highly recommend it (especially in the PNW). It's not as light as dynema or ultra fabric, but it's very rugged and mostly waterproof. I would love to see what you think of the Atom Packs Mo as a backpack in the future. I feel like it's the perfect in-between for folks who don't want to go full UL.

[@malcolmaross]

I really laughed at that mini toothbrush, but the hit of the show was the origami plate/bowl. During camping trips I make paper swans and sailboats out of trash and the little ones love it. That plate/bowl is really cool.

[@QueerlyMama]

Love cottage brands the hardest part is finding them so I love knowing about the garage gear website to find smaller companies. I’d love to try either of those clothing pieces. Your look of wonder feeling the fabrics has be so curious to touch and feel them!

[@noahmatheis]

I really think those foldable bowls are awesome, cause I’m always in the middle of packing a bowl or not, whilst I also hate eating out of my cup and waiting for tea to go in :)

[@hikesteepfishhigh]

I have a plastic bowl that snaps airtight and a small titanium pot. I like the bowl as it works for oatmeal, and rehydrating freeze dried meals using hot water or cold soaking. I enjoy my cup of coffee and oatmeal together.

[@noahmatheis]

@@hikesteepfishhigh And do you have a recommendation for a sturdy packliner?

[@hikesteepfishhigh]

@@noahmatheis I use a black plastic trash bag.

[@clindholm9396]

Everything in that box looks awesome, but I have to admit the Torrid Apex jacket looks really amazing! I am allergic to down and it is really hard to find a synthetic packable jacket that packs down really small. This looks like it would fit the bill.

[@suecharnock9369]

me too to the feathers, so I am interested in that as well.

[@arlenesolis024]

Omg the beginning when she imitated Brad Pitt “what’s in the box!” 😂😂😂 the toothbrush earrings (almost choke on my water) the ultralight bidet love it. I think Miranda is converting to the ultralight nation. Drink that cool-aid. Those gadgets has some of my name on it

[@JessicaMoquin-ut4vu]

I love the new channel and really really love that you are highlighting cottage brands! This was all the energy I love from Miranda videos showing off so many amazing pieces of gear I had never even heard of before

[@MaggieintheMountains]

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

[@ryandaugherty9934]

My 7 year old loves watching your videos with me every week. Your potty humor dialed in sharp to his. I asked him which product he would like to out of the box. He said the coat probably wouldn’t fit either of us but everything else except the toothbrush would be cool. I said the toothbrush only cost .49¢. If we found ourselves in a pinch I bet we could get at least $1.50 selling it as an earring. He still wasn’t sold.

[@emmanuelhpun]

The hoodie, I assume, is an alpha direct hoodie. It is an ultralight insulation that sheds heat well when moving due to its holey nature. However, it is surprisingly warm when paired with a wind layer. I have a Senchi Designs Lark and it is amazing.

[@aurtisanminer2827]

I have heard the same thing about the alpha direct shirts. Super warm and light but no wind resistance. People pair it with an extremely light wind breaker for a really versatile and lightweight setup.

[@CraftyCoba0408]

I love GGG and finding a rad assortment of small brands creating fun things! The EE jacket is amazing totally can’t wait to hear more about it and that folding bowl 😮 what a great concept! Loving your new content!!

[@andrewb9595]

I have one of the folding bowls. I don't use it as a bowl a whole lot, I'll normally just use my mug when I need a bowl. I use it as a cutting board though or to set food on when so it stays off the dirt.

[@jamesthornton3339]

That hoody or the puffy would be sweet!!!!!!!!! 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.

P.S.S. Almost forgot - - - - that fold-a-bowl = AWESOME 🤙

[@hutchke15]

How fun, Miranda and team! I've always wanted to try some of the dyneema organizational bags. I'm currently using old makeup bags from Clinique "bonus" time. They work pretty well, but aren't always very light 😂

[@hollyflorian4730]

Love that you're showcasing these brands! I've been coveting the enlightened equipment jacket for ages now haha. A synthetic jacket that is still super light? Incredible

[@vanessatovar3895]

The plates have endless possibilities... fan? Mosquitoes smasher! Frisbee? So fun!

[@LMay64]

The amazing thing about the alpha tech far point hoodie is that when you put a wind shirt or any layer over it, it keeps you super duper warm. On its own, it breaths and vents well and dries really really fast if it gets wet. I love my far point hoodie! Alpha Tech material was originally developed for the US Special Forces.

[@bellabialas1018]

I’m still new to backpacking so I had no idea of the crazy awesome ways ultralighters cut weight with their gear. I’m def most interested in the puffy as I just went on my first backpacking trip and was freezing with the super thin one I currently have!

[@HannahBMann]

I hope this surprise box becomes a thing--super fun and informative! My back is useless at bearing any weight so I've had to convert to a hip pack (I wish there were more/better options for these btw). I run cold and layers are the order of the day so the FarPointe Alpha Cruiser Hoodie or the Torrid Apex Jacket would fit my needs. Thanks for introducing these cottage brands, Miranda!

[@PetLover199]

That bowl is genius!!! Honestly it's not even so much the weight for me, it's just that cups and bowls take up such rigid space that even if you put other things inside them, there's bound to still be wasted space/limited ways you can pack them.

[@Meadow_In_The_Wild]
