On this episode of The By Land Podcast, we get to know Garage Grown Gear and one of the co-founders, Lloyd Vogal.

Garage Grown Gear offers backpacking products you’re not likely to find in big box stores like REI. They focus on cottage brands that could be just one or two people deep and making products by hand.  By partnering with smaller cottage brands to represent them in their marketplace, these startups can grow significantly faster and reach a wider audience.  As GGG likes to say, it’s like the “farm to table” version of backpacking gear.

If you want to find new gear from up-and-coming brands, you’ll want to take Garage Grown Gear for a spin.
