Episode 99 Getting To Know Garage Grown Gear with Lloyd Vogal - a podcast by Emory R. Wanger

from 2020-01-06T08:00

:: ::

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 specifically 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’re looking to find new gear from up and coming brands, you’ll want to be sure to take Garage Grown Gear for a spin.
