It's so refreshing seeing a woman making jokes and displaying their personality proudly. You're an inspiration for not just The Outdoors but for The Life too :) thanks Miranda 🙏
Just bought some Darn Tough socks a few days ago as stocking stuffers for family. They aren't even hikers, I just love those socks so much I thought they'd be worth sharing.
That's me with SmartWool! I've gotten my entire family wearing them in the past dozen years -- they just don't wear out, and they even fit my brother's honkin size 14s... lol Nothing better than wool!
YES to fanny packs :) :) My favorite outdoorsy gift is the p-style. I gifted this to both myself and my wife years ago and it remains her favorite gift of all time. We both use them all the time- makes peeing in the woods so much easier!
Oh my fricken gosh, pick me up off the floor and slap me silly hilarious. YOU, are amazing. My sides hurt. Thank you so much for this one, great start to the week. Merry Christmas to You & Yours...and yes Nala too..🤣🎅🎄❄
I dig fanny and sling packs too! Fun. Video. Got my vest on...and ideas for gifts...to me most Likley. Don't know. Any outdoorsy people. But that's OK. Love REI. Bought a. Bunch of stuff from there in 2020. Slings, fanny packs, Oakley sunglasses, mountain bike shoes, waterproof riding pants,. Bike socks. Etc.
I haven't been able to get out and do much hiking lately, but my headlamp is also really great when I'm knitting something small/fiddly like a sock heel and need good lighting.
One thing I really love is good refillable shampoo and soap bottles. No more saving of mini's, no more trying suboptimal shampoo on holiday, no, I have my favorite products always with me.
Coming from the knife community, Opinels are amazing all-around knives, respectable, awesome for whittling, and some light bush crafty kind of stuff, great price for performance too since you can get a cheap carbon steel blade. Plus they are just really cool. Also fanny packs forever, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, they are making a huge comeback.
I never thought I'd ever consider myself a fanny pack person until I got an ultralight pack without hip belt pockets. Now I can't imagine hiking or backpacking without my fanny pack. I even wear it in town too. It's so hip to be square! Hahahahah!
LOL! I was just at my local REI yesterday and it's like they grabbed one of every "impulse item" along the extended checkout line. The only thing missing were the snack bars and electrolyte drink powders. P.S. - I also bought the bear socks.
I have that little Patagonia fanny pack and now I don’t know how I hiked without it?! I actually find it handy on day hikes as a “purse” then if I need to go to a public loo or a store before going home my pack can go in the car and I just have my money phone keys in it :) Also it’s an excellent candy/snacks pouch lol
I really never learn anything new from most equipment recommendations or reviews. I tune in for the influencer's personality and entertainment value. This is different, as I've never heard of or seen the hero clip. I probably have seen them but thinking they are nothing more than an expensive carabiner, not realizing the hinge part opens. During wet times I hang my backpack with paracord on the strap of my trekking pole to keep it off the ground. I think this will work better so I will get one and try. Thanks Miranda!
A re-usable stainless steel water bottle or travel mug would be a good gift too. :) And to be clear, this was Miranda's secret wish list for all the things she wants this year. Right? :)
Great options. Not sure if im ready to rock a fanny pack yet but they are convient. I did get the biolite 330 off your reccomendation so pretty exited to try that
I have upgraded my fanny pack last year to a hip/thigh pack. It's a pack which sits on your hip, the bottom of the pack has loop to click on closure around your thigh. It's designed for bikes, for utility. I like the weight distribution around my hips since I keep 2 cameras, hand sanitizer, wet wipes, phone etc. I feel extra security with the hip belt + tigh loop. Also, fanny pack made me look fat☺. When traveling in Europe, Fanny pack is the magnet 🧲 for pick pockets.
Miranda and team...you are fast becoming my favorite short outdoorsy videos on the tube....just want to say thank you as a way of rounding out this year, I have a question... Do you by chance also work at the Seattle mothership? There is a girl that works there that from the mask up looks so much like you but when I asked her she said she was not?? Also, note of trivia....to yanks it is a fanny pack but to Brits it is a bum bag ☺ happy holidays!
i have no idea how you can live somewhere right now where fanny packs are not in fashion! they have been all over fashion for like 5 years now at least. maybe they are not like the coolest omg cool, but they are a pretty fashionable accessory to every outfit, casual or super stylish. i only use fanny packs (unless i use a backpack), i have several in different colors to match all my clothes and i always were them over the shoulder. and i have been looking at this patagonia one for a while now, its awesome! vests, tho... :D
It is disappointing that REI still carries Revel Gear Lights when that company was asking for funding via Kickstarter and moonlighting with REI at the same time and us Kickstarter backers got shafted. I complained many times to Revel, but not surprising, it falls on deaf ears.
It's so refreshing seeing a woman making jokes and displaying their personality proudly. You're an inspiration for not just The Outdoors but for The Life too :) thanks Miranda 🙏
Hilarious. That bidet reaction from cameraman is great.
I suggest a blooper video to closeout the year.
Good idea! I'll see what I can do! - Miranda
what did the guy said? i am not english i didnt understand him.
@@Francois_Dupont "Ah- Oh- Hu- Wh- JESUS CHRIST!"
@@KumaTsunami thank you.
Can I get a "Miranda in the wild" patch, please? At the very least she should get a dedicated corner on REI website.
I'll work on it! A patch would be cool 😁 - Miranda
YES!
@@rei Count me in too!!!!
@@rei WHERE IS THE PATCH, MIRANDA????
MIRANDA WE NEED THAT PATCH.
So much useful information, and belly laughs to boot. Thank you, Miranda! Your videos are always a great start to the day.
"This is my show gosh darn" in the intro is always my favorite part of your vids. 😂

The fanny pack looks like it came out of Scooby Doo. Right on. Also, 100% agree on sticker. All my computers have a million of them.
Camping/ outdoorsy stuff is so practical, don't even need to be going camping to use it! Everyone needs a spork in their life.
Normal people: ugh grandma, socks again?
Hikers/climbers: socks! Heck yeah!
And then, there’s me : 😊Cool... 😳” Uhhh, WHERE WERE THEY MADE” ??? “CHINA😏” ?
Don’t forget us runners!
I hit the like as soon as I hear the intro, just love it gosh darn it!!!
I can always count on laughing while watching and being in a happy mood after seeing one of your videos. Great ideas, thanks!
THE HERO CLIP IS SO COOOOOLLL. Seriously one of my favorite little trinkets ever. Super useful and cool.
Right?! The Hero Clip wins the Surprisingly-Useful-Gadget-I-Never-Knew-I-Needed of the Year Award. - Miranda
@@rei EXACTLY when I first got it I was very not excited but now I use it on every hike, trip, etc
I have one on every bag I own, if only to hang over the door of an airport bathroom stall if necessary. Never set your bag on the ground again!
@@djamison I have the regular one, might have to try the mini one used in this vid and put em on everything
Miranda is a legend!! I wish there were more like her on TH-cam but also real life!! Excellent verbal skills and smart. Love her videos!!
Have you ever thought about doing a backpacking trip with stuff bought on Amazon or at Walmart?
Merry Christmas, Miranda!!! Thanks for sharing your wonderful, happy Spirit with us all!

You had me at “who doesn’t need some alcoholic caffeine for the holidays?!” LOL. Seriously, really great gift ideas and ideas for me! Thank you!
Some great basket ideas. And Miranda you never fail to make me laugh. Happy Holidays to you and your crew.
Your shows are the best, gosh darn! I always get a good chuckle or two.

Lots of good items. Looking forward to adding some of them.
The people laughing in the background is the best😂
Fanny packs for the win! I carry a treat pouch when walking my dog and have wanted a fanny pack for everyday use bc it’s so convenient!
One thing I really love is good refillable shampoo and soap bottles. No more saving of mini's, no more trying suboptimal shampoo on holiday, no, I have my favorite products always with me.
You should do a consumable gift guide - food and such. Love your content!
As a Scot, I can't help but laugh everytime Miranda mentions 'fanny pack'🤣
Why is this funny as a scot?
Hi Miranda! Great video once again!
Yay! Thank you! - Miranda
No one ever:
Miranda: *rrrumpl, rrrrumpl, rrrrumpPUMPUMPUM*
Nice socks are a life changer!
I just got my first pair of wool socks from REI. They are a game changer!
Coming from the knife community, Opinels are amazing all-around knives, respectable, awesome for whittling, and some light bush crafty kind of stuff, great price for performance too since you can get a cheap carbon steel blade. Plus they are just really cool.
Also fanny packs forever, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, they are making a huge comeback.
Great gift ideas!! Thanks!

I have a bunch of Opinel knives as my family is French so they keep buying a gifting them. They are fantastic!
the 90s are where its at!
These are great gifts! I love hero clips.
LOL! I was just at my local REI yesterday and it's like they grabbed one of every "impulse item" along the extended checkout line. The only thing missing were the snack bars and electrolyte drink powders.
P.S. - I also bought the bear socks.
You are so very funny! I enjoyed this video. Perfect for those who have REI shopping addiction/gear acquisition syndrome (GAS).
Best adventure gift I ever gave (to myself) was a Garmin Inreach. Another great idea would be a pair of microspikes for those in colder climates.
I’ve never received a Christmas present in the last 17 years. So this was a hoot to me.
I’d be happy with any of those gifts 👍🏻🤩😎
The Yeti and Hydroflask cups/mugs are great gift ideas too. And don't forget to join the co-op, or gift someone a membership.
Omg, it's Miranda!!! Heeey
Well hey friend! - Miranda
I always carry a pocket knife in my purse. My new fav is the Muddy Girl from utica knives.
I am both terrified and grateful that fanny packs are coming back into style.
I have that little Patagonia fanny pack and now I don’t know how I hiked without it?! I actually find it handy on day hikes as a “purse” then if I need to go to a public loo or a store before going home my pack can go in the car and I just have my money phone keys in it :)

Why does Miranda remind of blues clue’s !
Because I skidoo, and you can too? - Miranda
Heck yeah fanny packs!! I feel the same way about mine 😅
Miranda, você é ótima descrevendo cada item! hilário!!😂😂
Obrigada!! 😁- Miranda
Solid video! Great Job!

Mate, you can make yourself a christmas gift and upgrade your basic knife to a cool swiss knife ! It has so many built-in tools !
I'm with you on the socks. I would have cussed in my teens, but now I want them ever year.
Would it be a Miranda video if both the whittling knife and booze didn’t show up somewhere?
Socks are the best!

Love your videos!!!!!!!

Great Video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! - Miranda
“ I really like to talk about pooping and peeing “

Through my line of work, fanny packs are a popular way of carrying medical-IFAK. Plus it looks hella cool with your Euro-trash outfits.
LOOOOVE my Patagonia fanny pack! Got it after my thru last year. GAHD I should have had one the whole damn time...
The outdoorsy person in my life is....myself xD
Love your camera man, he is always laughing at you. I feel for him. LMAO

It’s the add in edits for me
We need to make Fanny packs cool again!!!! 😎
Amanda is amazing I only watch these videos for her funny entertainment just had to be said
What about a Buff?
A buff is a great gift - add that to the list for sure. I'm actually wearing my buff as a hat in this video! - Miranda
I can really get behind the bidet.💩
It Miranda!
Lol, I happen to really like my flashlight, thank you very much. LOL!
Seriously, what's wrong with a flashlight??? lol!
😉
9:29 peepeepoopoo
Tony Chocolonely is the best
I got everyone head lamps and, life straws
REI should have a first aid course for hiking/camping buddy aka pets.
Great idea! Thanks for the suggestion - Miranda
Anyone know how to buy the Rumpl Print Beer Blanket these days? Website says sold out :(
Be mindful that many backpackers are minimalists... Gift Cards!
Hey there today I was begging my dad to go to the close REI store and he was like not it is the Christmas season
There's always online shopping! 🙃- Miranda
@@rei yea that’s what I think he is doing have a great rest of your day
The Ella Pee Funnel is great for anyone who squats to pee!
The 90's was the best, Nirvana, Metallica and mini skirts.
Insulated slippers should definitely on top of the list for your fiance if you know what i mean hahaha
I laugh every time I hear Americans & Canadians say fanny pack, as I'm from Scotland & fanny has a different meaning here. Also growler.
Too funny...
Well...... if someone wants to be my secret Santa I would love an osprey Atmos AG 65 in a large. Color choice be up to you

Could add a wag bag to the Pooh gift kit. 💩💩💩👍💩💩💩
