best backpack stove reviews image

I will most likely be doing 1-2 nights most often. Though I could be out for at most 4 nights. I am not sure what size bag I should get. What is the difference between Backcountry bags and Backcountry- Ultra light bags? Is 50 L enough room?
Answer
You are looking for a backpack. The ultralight backpacks are not much of an advantage. I do not like the way they take away compartmentalization in order to save a few ounces, that you later add back by needing to buy stuff sacks to compartmentalize your gear.
Save money and purchase about a 70 Liter - 90 Liter backpack, unless you are very sparse with your gear. In order to get a lightweight sleeping bag, pad, stove, cooking pack, food, water bottles, clothing, jacket, and tent inside a backpack, you are going to need a 70 Liter - 90 Liter backpack for trips from overnight to longer-duration trips.
Unfortunately, summer is the worst time to buy a backpack because everyone is on the market. Therefore, no store is going to put gear on clearance sale. Look at backpack reviews. I did. However, my first backpack was only a 50 Liter, so it was too small from the start. Subsequently, I bought a 70 Liter that has served me very well.

How good is the quality of Kelty?
Jordan
The sleeping bags and tents in particular.
Answer
All their gear is made in China as is everybody elses these days. The Name used to represent quality product and for the majority of what they sell it still is. They as do others put their name on low end quality budget items just to capture the market so buyer beware. If your looking for gear shop and compare, read the product reviews and then shop and compare some more. In my research Coleman products out last and out perform most of what Kelty offers in the tent category and in the camping equipment category ie stoves lights etc. Kelty sleeping bags are still in the top class. Their backpacks are no longer in the top class surpassed by Gregory, Jansport and others. Any way read the reviews, shop and compare.
