"Ultralight" is a philosophy and a goal of having a backpacking base weight...

&quot;Ultralight&quot; is a philosophy and a goal of having a backpacking base weight that is approximately 11 pounds or lighter. The main thought is that<span id="isPasted" style="color: rgb(58, 42, 47); font-family: Helvetica, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Lucida Grande&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(252, 252, 252); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">&#xA0;a lighter pack is easier on your body, allows you to travel further more easily, and could allow you to hike later into life as you reduce the strain on your body compared to carrying a heavier pack.&#xA0;Base weight is generally defined as&#xA0;<span id="isPasted" style="color: rgb(58, 42, 47); font-family: Helvetica, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Lucida Grande&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(252, 252, 252); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">the total weight of all the gear in your backpack and on your body, including the backpack itself, but excluding the weight of your food and water.For some, ultralight is an obsession over each fraction of an ounce, and for others ultralight is more of a philosophy of simplicity and doing without in order to enjoy their time outdoors even more.&#xA0;We have a ton of articles about going ultralight in our online Magazine, like this introductory article: <a class="fr-green" href="https://www.garagegrowngear.com/blogs/trail-talk/how-to-go-ultralight-backpacking" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How to Go Ultralight Backpacking</a>.&#xA0;At Garage Grown Gear, we strive to offer a vast array of gear options for you to choose from to assemble a backpacking kit that best suits your needs, goals, and the terrain and weather you&apos;re headed out into. Note that sometimes when a fabric or item is geared towards being ultralight, some durability has to be sacrificed to get the product to be that light. This is important to know when selecting ultralight gear.&#xA0;Going ultralight isn&apos;t for everyone, and not all ultralight gear is for everyone, but we believe everyone can benefit from gear that happens to be lighter!&#xA0;Ultimately with everything involving backpacking gear, it&apos;s all personal. So make your best judgements and enjoy!&#xA0;

I have a small outdoor brand. How can I sell on GGG?

GGG is a hub for all things ultralight backpacking!...

GGG is a hub for all things ultralight backpacking! Dedicated to supporting the growth of small and cottage outdoor brands, our online store is a diverse ecosystem of makers and shakers. From small brands just getting their start in a spare bedroom (or garage) to bigger more established companies making long time favorites, we believe that collaboration (not competition) helps small brands get ahead. By centering our promotional lenses on small brands while simultaneously making GGG the most complete 1 stop shop we can for ultralight gear, we think it&#x2019;s a 3 way win for customers, brands, and ourselves! How do we pick the brands we work with? Well&#x2026; there are a TON of different considerations :) Here are a couple of the most important: 1. Their products need to have a use case within ultralight backpacking. 2.&#xA0;Major bonus points for brands just starting up, still operating under a cottage model, or are made locally. 3. The brand and their products need to add something new or unique to the conversation.&#xA0; 4. The brand itself needs to be good to work with. Good people, good business practices, good communication, and good values we align with. 5. We love brands that focus on sustainability, LNT, protection of public lands, diversity, inclusivity and accessibility. Questions? You can always&#xA0;<a class="fr-green" href="https://garage-grown-gear.gorgias.help/en-US/contact" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reach out to our team here.</a>&#xA0;They&#x2019;ll probably redirection you to Lloyd (our CEO).
