    Nice bags, great detailed vid. Thx 👍

  2. @HeatherRead-k7p on February 5, 2025 at 4:39 pm

    Green 😊

  3. @SoleilNoir7 on February 5, 2025 at 4:40 pm

    Sorry, it’s green.

  4. @solaufein1374 on February 5, 2025 at 4:41 pm

    Gregory pack was green. I think i would go for Deuter Speed lite. Compliments to your "non-make up" eyes.

  5. @VCaamano on February 5, 2025 at 4:42 pm

    Green!

  6. @lisaray9582 on February 5, 2025 at 4:42 pm

    Definitely green. 🙂 Thank you for the video.

  7. @DerrickMorgan-q1z on February 5, 2025 at 4:43 pm

    This uzbagx tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big.
    I look forward to joining my rotation

  8. @totoroben on February 5, 2025 at 4:44 pm

    Idea for your day pack: i call it a soup hike. Get a pot of soup to a rolling boil the morning of the hike and have people bring a vacuum insulated thing. It can even be a mug. We used Contigo things. Fill everyone’s thermos with soup and you’ll have a tasty lunch on the trail.

  9. @zacharywiseman7847 on February 5, 2025 at 4:44 pm

    Heads up blue green means it comes from blue….. Blue is the primary

  10. @rithe07 on February 5, 2025 at 4:44 pm

    Lol the bag is blue but that cup is definitely green 😂

  11. @vjensen56 on February 5, 2025 at 4:45 pm

    My wife and I both have Gregory backpacks and love them

  12. @davidhall8874 on February 5, 2025 at 4:46 pm

    How about if I just use the one my sister-in-law gave me?

  13. @masonnalls3420 on February 5, 2025 at 4:47 pm

    It’s bleeeeen!!!!

  14. @Autumn1988 on February 5, 2025 at 4:47 pm

    I have the Osprey Tempest 30. Bit big but I love a “lid” pack

  15. @MelodyHayes-r7p on February 5, 2025 at 4:49 pm

    Thanks so much for the great information. Great job! Lots to consider.

  16. @leoniealastair9219 on February 5, 2025 at 4:50 pm

    Hi, does Miranda also have a Video for backpack ( < mean the full size hiking backpacks)? I can’t find one, but I feel like I have seen a while ago that she made one. I really would appreciate the help!

  17. @cindybecerra9052 on February 5, 2025 at 4:51 pm

    Love your new green pack! 😂

  18. @jefffigueroa8070 on February 5, 2025 at 4:52 pm

    You are Miranda from YouTube channel from a Miranda show for kids

  19. @dannychavera7692 on February 5, 2025 at 4:52 pm

    Green. WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU. Hahahahahaha

  20. @CS-rw4es on February 5, 2025 at 4:52 pm

    500 🎉

  21. @rei on February 5, 2025 at 4:53 pm

    Hey friends! I realized there’s an error in the video labeling the Deuter pack. The Deuter is the Speed Lite 22, not the "Speedlight." Whoops! Do you have favorite daypack? Any must-have daypack features you can’t live without? And is the Gregory pack BLUE or GREEN?! Comment below! – Miranda

  22. @simplymandy on February 5, 2025 at 4:54 pm

    When you think that blue is your favourite colour but it ends up being green.

  23. @rodohc on February 5, 2025 at 4:55 pm

    Love your channel! Do you have a video on 30-40L packs? Not finding one in my search. I’m headed to Acatenanga which is a 13k altitude overnight hike where I don’t need to carry any sleeping gear. Need some real people recommendations on a pack! My torso is 19" and my hips are 28ish.

  24. @sydward6135 on February 5, 2025 at 4:56 pm

    If you look at Miranda’s pack in the video compared to the photo that they have up around 14:19 they’re totally different colors. As someone else pointed out, the whole video is very warm toned. In the video the pack is 100% green, but based on the discrepancy, it looks like its much harder to say.

  25. @adventure_hannah3841 on February 5, 2025 at 4:56 pm

    My favorite day pack, now discontinued, was the LLBean Adventure Pro Pack. 28L, a huge bucket top, two zippered top pockets, two zippered side pockets, two mesh water bottle pockets that I could fit a Nalgene in (while still wearing the pack!), a "kangaroo" pouch on the front where I kept my dog’s stuff, daisy chain loops for extra cords, gear loops on the underside, and compression straps! It was absolutely bombproof with 800D material coated in DWR. I took that pack to Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan, DC, Maryland, Montana, and Oregon. It handled university, summer camp work, travel by airplane, boat, bike, foot, train, bus, and car, 3 hospital stays and 9 ER trips, hundreds of day hikes, and 5 ultralight overnight summer backpacking trips. It lasted me 7 years until the zippers gave out and couldn’t be repaired, and LLBean doesn’t make it anymore. I literally cried when I finally threw it out.
    I replaced it with the Cotopaxi Torre 24 liter, which is a super solid bag. The bag would be the most perfect bag known to humanity if the LLBean Adventure Pro Pack hadn’t existed. So the Cotopaxi Torre 24 is the second best bag known to humanity.

    I’m way late to the party, but that pack is green. Also, I love my Deuter Trail 28 SL. I upgraded from a 15 yo Osprey Talon, and I freaking love the Trail. The only thing wrong with it is the lack of an external stretchy pocket. I’m thinking about getting a helmet holder to function as my external stretchy pocket.

  27. @panda11648 on February 5, 2025 at 4:58 pm

    Blue

  28. @backpacker778 on February 5, 2025 at 4:58 pm

    Gregory copies Osprey back System with the velcro which is a bad non stable back system . The most stable Backpacks are Deuter backpacks . They use internal bladder compartment which is best to keep water cool . The shoulder straps are connected directly to the backpack and not to a flimsy velcro .

  29. @char-knee496 on February 5, 2025 at 4:59 pm

    It’s hunter green

  30. @garyjohnson8327 on February 5, 2025 at 4:59 pm

    What compression strap doesn’t span the main compartment zipper?

  31. @jenniferschikowsky6472 on February 5, 2025 at 5:01 pm

    I wanted to really like the dauter daylit but the back was really stiff. I got the osprey skimmer 20 instead.

  32. @crisrodriguez8195 on February 5, 2025 at 5:01 pm

    Watching Miranda is like one of those few times that Im okay watching an influencer knowing Im being marketed to by a brand cause Im always interested in buying new hiking and backpacking stuff anyways. Its like more entertaining QVC for outdoors people

  33. @lisa9627 on February 5, 2025 at 5:04 pm

    Its blue

  34. @jacobwright2168 on February 5, 2025 at 5:05 pm

    Green….

  35. @mainenative5928 on February 5, 2025 at 5:07 pm

    The Gregory pack looks green to me.

  36. @nomad509 on February 5, 2025 at 5:08 pm

    I am so torn right now.. I don’t need a massive bag so the 18L would be the perfect choice. I tried on the REI Ruckpack and while I liked the simplicity I am not sure after a days hike I would like the comfort. I’ve only seen the Teton Oasis online but the shoulder straps remind me of the Wenger backpack I had in college. This bag also comes with a 2L bladder where I would still need to get one for the CoOp and at a cheaper price.

  37. @knitsandnature on February 5, 2025 at 5:09 pm

    green

  38. @conniekeshet on February 5, 2025 at 5:10 pm

    ha ha, local rei is pretty far away…. im in the middle east. thanks for the video.

  39. @1981gangleymutton on February 5, 2025 at 5:14 pm

    It’s green.

  40. @jefffigueroa8070 on February 5, 2025 at 5:16 pm

    Miranda Miranda Miranda you got to be the lady who did the Mirena show

  41. @allendevans on February 5, 2025 at 5:17 pm

    Guessing you’ve discovered (by now), that you’re colorblind? Yes? No?

    If so, that’s pretty unusual. Colorblindness doesn’t effect (affect?) many females. I hypothesize that may be due to your 2 X chromosomes, each of which may carry the recessive colorblindness trait.

  42. @pressedandpurposed on February 5, 2025 at 5:21 pm

    Sorry all that was green 🤣

  43. @dariarahimian6310 on February 5, 2025 at 5:21 pm

    Green

  44. @christopherwofford4795 on February 5, 2025 at 5:31 pm

    Great, fun, helpful video.

  45. @tgiangle on February 5, 2025 at 5:31 pm

    Wasn’t there a follow-up episode where Miranda talks about hiking with this pack? I remember she ended up going with the red one instead, but can’t find the episode. Thanks!

  46. @FireflyOnTheMoon on February 5, 2025 at 5:31 pm

    Too much chit chat for me.

  47. @declanmckeown323 on February 5, 2025 at 5:31 pm

    i use a 18 for hikes that are just a few hours but 32 for actual day hikes

  48. @Kai77-24 on February 5, 2025 at 5:33 pm

    What’s Load Lifters Precious?😂

  49. @Blueskywatcher on February 5, 2025 at 5:35 pm

    It’s green. The tag on it is blue for contrast.

  50. @JoeyIngles on February 5, 2025 at 5:37 pm

    The "ear horn/strap/handle" of your sunglasses is called the leg.

    Kudos for a solid and straight forward review. Thanks for keeping it real.
