Over here at Garage Grown Gear we sell ultralight backpacking gear from small, startup, and cottage outdoor companies. Our webstore sells their products, and our online magazine tells their stories, reviews their gear, and generally helps spread the good news about small brands. We are based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and while we are in the process of opening a brick and mortar shop, currently we exist mostly online!

What impact do you hope that you can have on your community at large?

We hope to continue to be the voice for small makers and shakers. To be the platform that speaks up for small brands and connects them to larger communities of outdoorsy people who'd be interested in the products. Starting a business is tough, and we try and make it a bit easier.

What is your current favorite piece of outdoor gear?

Just got off the Superior Hiking Trail! After 4 days I pulled off early due to temps in the teens and 6+ inches of snowfall. It was beautiful and cold and (given the conditions) i'm happy to be home.

What does HighOutside mean to you?

It means being in a good mental space while being in a good physical space!
