Newest gadgets for 2024. Garage grown gear. Lloyd Vogel. GOAT of gear.
Hey I’m Magnet and that is me making the Alpha sleeping bag liner. Happy to get a thumbs up from Dan! He almost balked on the price but, take a look at the products from Sea to Summit using really cheap cotton and my pricing looks pretty great. Plus it’s all hand made in Oregon including the stuff sack.
Do you sell a lot of them?
Cocoon uses quality cotton in their products tho. Maybe their products are not sold in the US that much. That liner seems nice but anything with velcro would absolutely destroy it.
Looks like an awesome piece of gear.
I'm trying to figure out what problem a $100 pack liner solves better than a $0.50 compactor bag (or a bigger, heavy duty, contractor bag, which might cost a whole buck). I keep 2-3 compactor or contractor bags in all my packs, including my camera bag, and in my car's emergency kit. They have multiple uses, including allowing me to exercise my penchant for picking up the trash slobs and willful cretins leave behind. I can see a case for putting gear in dry bags, though I've never felt the need.
For First Aid, I can't agree more with, "If you don't know how to use it, don't bring it." I do bring a bit more than the basic kit, but I also think in terms of multi-use items (e.g., a proper bandana, not the tiny things that have been sold since they became fashion accessories for yuppies' dogs) and things that can be improvised in the field to treat some unusual injury. I'm still in the freezer bag camp here, but I pack it in a brightly colored, clearly marked pouch for easy identification if I have to ask someone to fetch it from my pack (and it's always in an exterior pocket--sometimes it _is_ an exterior pocket--not buried in the pack).
Both the pack liner and the First Aid/Repair Kit seem to be cases of Dyneema for Dyneema's sake.
@@darylnd yes, the liner appears expensive but it’ll really depends on the user, doesn’t it? Compactor bags do not last long as you suggest - and hence your need to carry spares. If you hike regularly then it’s easy enough to justify the purchase if it falls within your budget. I tend to solo hike every other weekend & over the years have invested quite a substantial amount in a gradual make over my kit in order to reduce weight and bulk. For me it is worthwhile to invest in a super durable and waterproof pack liner. For many waterproof pack cover is enough along with a compactor bag. I don’t like a flappy pack cover and they are not totally effective. I’m also not happy with the vulnerability of a compactor bag - I don’t want to pull out my down sleep quilt and or my sleep clothing only to find they have been wetted out - especially over winter time. They might not be for everyone but for some of us they are a super functional and practical piece of kit. At least we have the choice whether to have or have not.
@@chrishamilton2527 Well said! To be clear, I have no desire to change anyone's mind about a piece of kit they need or even want. My kit differs from yours, e.g., I favor a synthetic bag over a down bag or quilt, but the only thing that really matters is that we're out there. I carry "spares" because they cost nothing, weigh nothing, take up no space, and serve multiple functions. If I'm packing out my trash, or that of others, I don't want to toss it in with my sleeping bag or with my camera gear. A contractor bag can be rigged as an emergency tarp if I'm not carrying something bigger and heavier. It's also not a binary decision: I'd still have at least a compactor bag or two, even if I did use a Dyneema pack liner (and I may reconsider my opinion of them). Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience with me!
dyneema nerd food
The toll of that dyneema bag on the environment is much, much higher than that of a HUGE load of compactor bags. Then again I feel like many hikers don’t really give a rat’s butt about the environment.
@@k______________________ it’s the other way around; look at the materials consumed in production, the amount of energy used, the water consumption as well as electricity and then look at the life cycle. The Dyneema bag will last decades. The plastic bags have a limited life and then will likely end up as landfill.
Best sleeping bag liner is a silk bag. They are lightweight and easy to wash and dry. I’ve used cotton sleep sheets in hostels and as a bag liner but the silk one just feels better, can feel cool on hot nights when used on its own and can provide warmth inside a sleeping bag on cool nights.
This
$40 for a boo-boo kit and $80 for a trash bag is INSANE. Ultralights are certifiably crazy. Bring back the asylums, they need help.
Have fun carrying your 50 pound pack for 30 miles.
@@eric55406 I've done it. Really isn't that bad. A dyneema trash bag and booboo kit bag isn't going to make a noticeable difference anywhere other than your wallet.
@@eric55406You know decathlon? They have excellent UL stuff which is very affordable.
@@eric5540650#? Who does that?

“Hey here are a bunch of products that I would never buy, telling that to a guy who sells them”
That soy liberal definitely needed a reality check. Those are mediocre products at an exorbitant prices.
I got that massage roller earlier this year. Total game changer for me on the trail. Much more versatile than the massage balls
I have and use the PadPal and will be using it on my thru hike of the AT this fall. It’s a great pump and I’ve had no issues with it so far. At 9 grams it’s made its way into my setup.
Love the fan/air pump!! Thank you to the developer 🙌🏻🙏🏻 Most of us carry a power bank and a usbC cable, so this thing is a crazy light piece of kit. You don't need an air sack and this is lighter than our air sacks that come with our sleeping pads. It might not be for everyone and that's totally cool. It checks a few boxes for me and is a no brainer. Take my money!!! 🍻
The key point, is the pressure.
@@goog01 true, but the flextail also requires a few extra breaths, if you like your pad firm. I realize it's not perfect, but for me it's a better option that ticks more boxes than other options. 🤷🏻♂️
I really liked the form factor of it, super tiny. And yeah I'm always packing a battery pack anyways so why not.
I found that a massage ball really helps get some tight spots out of my feet (I have flat feet and they always hurt at the end of every hike). I just ordered a cork massage ball ($16) from GGG and looking forward to having that on my next trek.
I love having Jim from the Office be my personal backpacking guide for gear :)
Dan Becker is definitely more of an Andy than a Jim.
I ordered already dozens of things from Garage Grown Gear, and its great, because I can mix many things from several different companies into one delivery.
The problem with that pump is it looks like a fan and not a turbine type. So while it might be ever so slightly lighter, it doesn’t get nearly the same pressure that zero can. If something doesn’t work the way you need it to then it’s just dead weight.
I fail to see what the problem is. Considering it has four power levels, it seems like it easily has enough pressure to inflate a sleeping pad, which is its intended purpose. What can the Zero do that this pump can't?
@@ironchin17 It's about the pressure. The Flextail Tiny pump reaches maximum 4KPa (0.58 PSI). The Flextail Zero reaches only 2.5kPa (0.362594 PSI). I think anything less than 2 KPa is not enough for me. Some people like a firmer pad so even the Flextail Zero is not enough for them. You can always top it up with air from your lungs but then you basically have gear that does only 80-90% of the job.
@@eric55406 Doing 90% of the job is the point. Very few people mind a breath or two to top the pad up
@@eric55406 Exaclty, I was a bit disappointed to find out that my Flextail Zero inflates the pad to about 50-60% and I still have to make two or even three full breaths. If this thing provides even less pressure, then it's pretty much useless. At 2:55 you can see that the pad is not even nearly inflated.
Just blow into it to top off the pressure.......
Personally, I prefer a pump sack. If those fans had additional uses/utility I might consider it.
I have a "schnozzel" pump bag from Exped. It's a waterproof dry bag that I use to store my sleep stuff in while hiking, then it pumps up my mattress once I'm at camp. It always strikes me as a better idea than a bringing a dedicated mattress pump.
@@SARGEinc I completely agree. And even if you don't have a stuff sack made for this, it is fairly easy to make one with a pack liner or another stuff sack.
I bring two adapters with my Zero Pump to inflate 5 air mattresses. It weighs a total of 2.5 oz. The pump sack for my Thermarest weighs 2.2 oz and does not work on any of the other mattresses. And the pump is way more convenient. One of the best camping gadgets I've ever bought. But to each their own.
8:00 you can use any card to do this. I always bring my driver license to have ID on me while backpacking and keep it in my back pocket and use it to open my bear canister. $10 is pretty silly but it’s clever I guess.
Exactly! Plus I don’t want to give a bear anywhere to grab to drag my can away…
@@MaryanneN_ yeah that was my first thought in seeing that attached.
I made a little pouch from duct tape and taped it to the top of my bear can and use an old plastic card. Works great and practically free.
The spork/toothbrush hybrid looks like an excellent way to damage a tooth/gums.
I was just thinking that😂 might be better if you had a plastic on so you don't bang up the enamel so much haha. This would be an awesome gag gift though
Loved it, this should be a quarterly segment!
Just out of morbid curiosity, I would love a deeper review of that fan. It didn't look like the pad was inflated all that much. $50 for a little plastic fan seems like too much.
You can youtube a better review of it. It’s called the pad pal. You need one to two breaths to top it off. It’s for that ultra lighter that would normally not bring a pump but since this is so light they would consider it. One extra breath is better than 30…
@@Colby168 A pump sack seems much less complicated. But hey, that's just me.
@@sIosha and it can be used as a storage container while not being used as a pump.
@@Colby168I can't believe we're too lazy to breathe
Even more simple is using your lungs haha
Great entertaining content and humor!
Anyone paying 100 dollars for a pack liner needs to give there head a wobble.the thermal pouches are great in colder weather I've used 1 the last few years 👍
For real I'll stick with the garbage bag until I win the lottery.
To some of us, $100 doesn't even phase us, and we'd spend that without giving it a second thought.
That being said, I'll stick with the $1 option!
(A fool and his money are soon parted.)
Great video and products! You should make a video on just odd ball items like this that you normally wouldn’t think to take or add on the gear list but would be a great thing to have like luxury items and gadgets like all these.
GGG is the best! Super cool having Lloyd on.
That was fun. Hi from the UK, (but currently on the Italian dolomites). We could use a GGG in the UK.
Item #2. Should have called it the sproothbrush!
I love it for it's comedy value to pull out in front of friends as a joke.
I'm really enjoying Zachary Levi's new career as a camping and backpacking creator.
One of my favorite videos from you for the comedy alone!
That flex tape made me think of the best preemptive fix you can make
Flex seal on the bottom of your expensive air mattress. After I ordered an air-mattress from backcountry and it deflated the second time I used it I applied flex seal and it not only adds a layer that weighs almost nothing it sealed the problem
I did this after I contacted customer service. They sent another mattress and I didn’t have to return the old one. Backcountry’s CS is amazing I sealed the new one as well
Brutal honesty...keep it up!!! This is getting more rare these days sadly.
That toothbrush/spork thing is nasty 😂
😂
🤣
Not as nasty as the “crotch pot” 🤢…. Still nasty though
$43 for that little first aid kit is insane, i have a little one like that i bought on Amazon for $7-8
Yes, if you really feel like you need a certain something in your first aid kit, pack it. That feeling has helped me in the past.
That pad wasn’t even close to blow up 😂
That’s how the ultralight pumps work. You want more inflation,carry a heavier pump.
Wow sleeping bag liner is pretty cool even for $100+. I’ve got a “Yamatomichi” anorak and Senchi tops. Allows a real nice breeze in the Senchi but throw on a shell and it’s warm af. I bet that’d be real nice under my quilt.
Edit: oof out of stock too
Gosh, I did NOT need more stuff to add to my GGG wish list! Thanks, Dan (grumble grumble). Questions, though - does that little fan fully inflate a sleeping pad, or do you need to add a few breaths like you do with the flextail zero? Does that medical kit come with the option for a red bag? (or maybe the option to buy just the bag? I really don't need the stuff inside, but I'm looking for a red DCF bag just about that size for my medkit.) And for that packliner - is it 100% waterproof? Could you test its efficacy against a nyloflume and a contractor bag? Just not sure it makes sense to pay that amount for just a bag when the other options are so much cheaper. Is it that much more durable? And I'd love to see you rate that alpha sleeping bag liner against other liners and see how much more warmth you perceive, as well as how it does with odors and protecting your bag from odors and body oils. I really like the idea of an alpha liner, but I want to make sure it protects the bag and provides that extra warmth for the price. And which size was the big sky coozie that was shown? Does the tiny toothbrush fit onto the long handled titanium spork you showed?
48 bucks for this tiny plastic pump?! You can't be serious!
Economics
Exactly. Probably for 5 buck on Temu or Aliexpress. But stupid people buy anything for high price.
Ain’t no way that was “fully inflated”.
@@TheXone7go try to find it on there
It uses a little drone motor and propeller, and it's all 3d printed. Ain't no way it took 2 years to design and is nowhere near worth 48 dollars.
that trekking pole attachment is amazing! Id love that if I owned a pair of poles
I would love to see some way to integrate a coozy into a footbox to help with cold feet.
Try a hot woman with long legs.
I guess you could buy two and integrate a drawstring?
Lol, Love your close up…., “and the Bushcrafters Go Nuts.”
Bc i am both UL & and Bushcrafter.
Too Funny 😂
I have the Big Sky Pouch. 1.4 oz on my scale. Works GREAT.
13:00 Every military dude is saying "naw bruh, that's for your TQ"
My husband and I have used BigSki for over a year and we love it ! ( Beth)
That warming pouch is the best!! Good price too. Bye-bye homemade reflectix pouch!
Aside that food pouch, literary not a single piece would drive my attention in a million years.
Bear can, I just use the side of my spoon if I’m having trouble getting it open
Hey man, your content is great and super helpful. I'm currently building a load out based on your recommendations. That being said, you gotta work on your thumbnails, they are terrible, particularly this one. Keep up the good work.....other than the thumbnails, work on that. Cheers!
Great review format and banter. Love it !
Isn’t that a fork, poop trowel, toothbrush combo?
🤢🤮
You’ve got all these companies coming over. You need like an outdoors stage style studio now.
Love those type of videos
Fanny packs “where the rage a couple years back”🤣🤣…more like a couple decades back in the 90’s my dude!😱😅
They are HUGE business in the casual fashion/athleisure side, have been for a couple of years. One of Lululemon's best sellers. I use a small one as a purse replacement, and have a couple of options for hiking, pretty useful esp. if you don't have pockets on your hip belt to hold handy items like lip balm, snack bar, cell phone, etc.
could the mattress fan double as a personal cooling fan?
It might be exquisite for hot flashes!
Im in love with Emmet’s Kwik Trip Hat
This is literally the best video on RUclips
I would totally buy that trekking pole roller if it was under $20. I'm also with Dan on the air pump. I own the zero pump and live it, but if this little pump was $25 id be all for it for the power it has. I always have to add half a bag full of air because my zero pump doesn't quite get to where I need my pad.
Great video! Lloyd was awesome!
that silicon cover for the toothbrush spork is crazy, probably weighs .0001 grams, get rid of it
My pack weighs about 65 lbs . I haul around prospect and gear everywhere.
That includes a 4-ft sluice box.
I've had the same backpack for 30 years.
I don't need any of this new crap.
Bears give me a break.
Absolutely the pack liner is NOT the time for dyneema. Tent has enough fabric to make a difference.
Kind of like aluminum is as good as titanium in the size of pots (stove burner yes, because of the heat). Unfortunately, I made that decision after I bought Ti...
Pricey stuff!!!!
All you need is some safety pins, rope and duct tape.
Well, superglue
Big Sky - fantastic company. I have one of Skye’s cosies as well as a whole heap of tarps, fitted pot pouches etc. I’m not associated with the company but I am a fan of their products. Great customer service as well.
LLOYD!!!!! Great to see you on this channel.
The noise made by that micro-pump could be adopted as "noise" AUDIO mosquito repellant. For innovation that's a real plus. Once the batteries run run dry, of course, the mosquitoes will still suck you dry. Solar panel top up or supply? Up to you.
I have struggled with opening the bear can. I use the pommel of my pocket knife to press in the lid to get it open if I fail with my finger a few times.
I love how he said it was fully inflated when it was indeed not fully inflated 😂
I never "fully" inflate my pads. Just enough to keep my hip bone off the ground. That's how you make the best use of the thickness available. It may have been enough for that, but it's hard to tell.
@@plmn93 to each their own for sure. My back hurts if it’s not inflated all the way. I’m olllllddd😂
The color on the titanium spoon will go away. You can bring it back with careful heating, over all though the color is gimmicky.
That toothbrush... I didn't know my aversion to ''sporks'' could reach another level ... lol
Loved the vid, keep em coming
That man with the micro gear, looks like he is living in Portland, Oregon.
GGG is awesome!!!
Small pump ,don't worry about the weight of the power bank .
I'm looking for a GOOD sleeping pad. The Nemo Tensor sleeping pad is listed above as "other gear I use". As you might deduce from the fact that I go by "Graybeard" on my VERY small backpacking channel , I'm trying to balance the 3-corner stool of: ultralight, comfort & price. Because I really value comfort (with min. added weight), I'm looking at Reg/Wide: Nemo Tensor All Season linked above vs. Big Agnes Rapide SL. I realize the 2024 Rapide SL (1lb 7oz) is about 2 oz more, but my current search shows it $3 cheaper vs Tensor on Amazon ($20 cheaper vs Tensor at REI) with helpful (?) 4.5" "rails", 2.5" smaller pack size (8"x4" vs Tensor's 10.5"x4"), but Tensor looks to have better (?) surface material durability (40D bottom/20D top). MY QUESTION: Would there be any overall advantage in the Nemo Tensor over the Rapide SL (given my less frequent usage -- mainly Shelters where hammock isn't possible -- I have a really hard time trying to sleep on those hard wooden floors!)? Sincere apologies for my longwindedness. Grateful for any advice. Thanks!
Loved it! Lots of fun and some great products 👍🏼
That micro pump must have the fan technology of an fps drone... that's loud.
Love it how the guy who sells them doesnt know the weights, specs etc 😂😎
The link to this gear in the description box goes only to the GGG main site. I would have to go back and find each item by name and search for them individually. Did you mean to link to a page that had all these items as a collection? If so, that's not where your link goes. It's so incredibly helpful when you offer a direct link to each item instead of this general link to the vendor. That means I can just enjoy the video without needing to take notes. I hope you'll consider this for future videos. Thanks!
I’ve used big sky for years
A fool and his money are soon parted.
About that sleeping bag liner.. I'd rather have a polartec alpha pyama instead of a liner. Makes my $100 more versatile.
Worlds collide! Lloyd and Dan finally meet up!
1/5 the weight of the other pump but you need to carry a 2 pound battery?
The spoon doubles as a back scratcher...
I'm two years into ultralight and have a 9lb pack weight. What Ive enjoyed is finding free or cheap solutions. While my cook cup is a toaks titanium I'll use a kraft mac and cheese single serving cup for tea and a sandwich size ziplock is fine for keeping your FAK in. Found it a little cringe talking about about gear and knowing zero specs about it.
I understand the need and desire to have lightweight gear but some of the prices are ridiculous! But I also blame that on the idiots that buy the stuff willfully. If everyone said “I’m not paying that much” then prices would be lowered. In return, more people would buy the products including myself.
You'll have to plug it in to your powerbank. That's where I left
maybe this is dumb, I'm new to backpacking. What are these products used for?
For future videos lol. Please lol.
There ya go Dan, fight for those lower prices.
Dan must have a really great open door policy if all these companies keep showing up at his house with gear. 🤣
Requirements battery pack... that is charged.. ??? Si this is good for a day
another banger of a video dan
"youd sell more if it was cheaper" yep. no sht haha
BUY THE VARGO TOOTHSPORK NOW
The CEO doesn't know that much about the finite parts of his products, especially for doing a demonstration. Strange.
for the King of the mascara-eyes thumbnail .. I can't not click. the pump looks smart
Great, now im never getting my pad pal
This guy’s laugh is just like Scooby Doo! Haha, love it!
Something I started doing in place of fanny packs or using the hip belt pockets on common backpacks is I would get sea to summit dry bags with the view window in them and Grimlock carabiners to attach to the straps and then all my items that I would possibly want to have accessible are in a dry bag and it becomes a modular system I can swap out for whichever one I wanna have out at the time, medical supplies personal care lights and navigation food garbage bags it doesn't matter what it is you swap it on to the belt put it away when you don't need it you're done extremely simple modular and you can pick whatever size dry bag you want for whatever you wanna put in it.
The point of utensils is to keep your dirty hands out of your food. Now your utensil has an two ends that you put your mouth on....
I feel like more than a few ppl might be using that pump for a fan
Urgent, GGG get a new CEO ASAP. Seriously, he comes onto this channel and didn't prepare regarding the details. Jeeez.
I would buy every one of these
