Crazy Weird Backpacking Gear that You'll Actually Want (or Won't)

This video dives into the world of cottage backpacking gear, showcasing some seriously innovative and unique items! From solving key problems to offering surprising affordability, cottage gear is a cool part of the backpacking gear market. One thing I didn’t mention in the video, but have found to be true, is that cottage backpacking gear is surprisingly affordable. Of course, the little things DO add up, but for the most part (except for that one piece of backpacking gear I mentioned in the video) are worth the smaller price. My hub for finding the most unique backpacking gear has always been Garage Grown Gear. It’s like the HQ for ultralight backpackers. ✨ Featured Gear for your next outdoor adventure: Adotek UL Grizzly Sack: https://alnk.to/2FDM7C2 Culo Clean: https://amzn.to/4l08ST7 One Hydration Drinking tube for SmartWater Bottle: https://alnk.to/4XxCRKZ Flip Fuel: https://alnk.to/8tQRBV7 Gossamer Gear Crotch Pot:https://alnk.to/flyfIiU More incredible gear I love: https://www.amazon.com/shop/megintheforest Disclaimer: Some of these are affiliate links.
