Chicken Tramper Ultralight Gear (CTUG)

“All of our gear is made by hikers, for hikers and tested to withhold thousands of miles. Made in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, our gear standards are out of this world.” (from CTUG’s website)

CTUG is a cool, up-and-coming ultralight gear company that sells all sorts of UL accessories for backpackers and thru-hikers. They have water bottle sleeves of different sizes, other shoulder strap gear like pouches,  wallets, fanny packs, day packs, and more! They even make some gear to order, with your choice of color combinations.

I first came across one of their water bottle holders at Triple Crown Outfitters in Kennedy Meadows on the PCT, and it was photos of me on IG with their old gear tagged that had them reaching out to me about their affiliate program.

Garage Grown Gear (GGG)

 

“GGG is your hub for all things ultralight. Dedicated to supporting the growth of small and cottage brands, we sell the outdoor gear we love, tell the stories we find thought provoking, and strive to cultivate an inclusive, approachable, and curious outdoor community. Great gear helps people get outside, and getting outside matters.” (from GGG’s website)

Garage Grown Gear is a reseller for many different small businesses in the Ultralight backpacking community. I like to order things from their site when I have a lot of little things to order and don’t want a million boxes and all the associated packaging to be sent, and or when I am lazy and don’t want to go to a bunch of different websites to order stuff before a hike. They also sometimes have site-wide deals that are great to capitalize on.
