Genius Backpacking Gear I Found on the Other Side of the World!

*This video is sponsored by LMNT! Try LMNT (I love it) by clicking here: https://drinklmnt.com/mirandagoesoutside Backpacking gear from New Zealand is on another level! In this video I want to share some of the wildly innovative backpacking gear that I discovered backpacking on the other side of the world. This kiwi made or designed gear is truly genius - from the most innovative pack I have ever seen, to an amazing tent that could rival the Durston X-Mid for uniqueness. I'm hoping some of our American brands take note of what the outdoor industry in New Zealand is coming up with, because they might just be making the best gear in the world. I will be backpacking with this gear soon, but for now I just couldn't wait to share this cool stuff with all of you. I hope you enjoy! US backpackers!
