Whyld River Doggybags

Sort by

It was 2016, I'd just moved back to Portland, OR for grad school and River (my dog) and I were preparing for our first backpacking trip up near Mt. Hood.

As River is a skinny boy (no matter how many steak bites I feed him!) I brought along a huge old sleeping bag for him to curl up in. It took up half of my 70L pack. However, it was made for a human. It didn't fit River properly and he kept uncovering himself in the middle of the night. In the morning I woke up to find him shivering so badly that we had to pack up and leave. When we made it back to the car It took him an hour with the heat on full blast to finally stop shaking. I was so scared that I had almost killed my best friend, just from being ill-equipped for the PNW weather!

After this frightening experience, I knew I had to find better gear to make sure River could be safe and comfortable in order to continue to take him on my outdoor adventures.

I started looking around, but all of the sleeping bags I could find for River looked cheaply made. I wanted a sleeping bag that was a similar quality to my own sleeping bag!

Great Company! Great Customer Service!

Garage Grown Gear is an awesome company run by people who really understand the field of wilderness travel and expeditions. The customer service is expectional.
Lloyd and his team are super friendly and knowledgeable. Buying products through Garage Grown Gear is a great way to support small businesses and avoid large corporations taking over our planet!

Great product and great, friendly service

I purchased a superior wilderness designs backpack from here. What was great is that purchasing the item through garage grown gear, rather than SWD themselves, I was able to get this item a lot faster. It's a custom made backpack and everything was exactly what I had asked for. They even forgot to charge me for an upgraded brace on the backpack and when I brought it up, they rewarded me with more goodies for honesty. Lloyd was super helpful throughout the process, with both myself and my husband who ordered our packs seperately. Will definitely purchase more items for our future asventures!

Unique outdoor gifts, fast shipping

I found some great Christmas gifts on this website! I live to support small outdoor startups so that makes the purchases even better. Fast processing and shipping. You rock GGG!!

Ten star rating needed!

You read that correctly! GGG have taken every curve ball I’ve thrown at them and delivered amazing results! From one off orders to the legendary seasonal box offerings, I have been BLOWN AWAY! I have never had the pleasure of working WITH a customer service so on top of the game until GGG. Lloyd and crew have my support tenfold! Highest recommends!

A Leaping-in-the-Air Standing Ovation

It's 4:43AM in the pre-dawn chill of the northern Sierra Nevada range. This windless night I jot notes on constellations, the rustle of raptor wings, and wonderment. From my FarmToFeet socks and Goosefeet Gear down booties to the Lawson's reflective ridgeline suspending my rainfly, I am pampered by Garage Grown Gear's genius and innovation. They equip me and my buddies for the funnest trekking of wild country! Whether it is the CedarPass field-notebook in my hands or the Thunderbolt Clothing pants wicking the strain of climbs and bouldering, Lloyd and his team at Garage Grown Gear deliver with the finest care and communications of a Hilton Hotel's concierge.
Every GGG item for my backpacking strengthens some startup gear engineer and all the crafters who build, fabricate or sew the GGG genius that comforts my buddies' outdoor excursions.
Now, I'll wander back to the awe of constellations and the run of condensation from our rainfly to the duff of 10,000 years' red cedar boughs.
