This is a review of the Kelty Redwing 3100. Its a great pack for me it works for everything from a day hike to a 5 night trip. Its a very organized and spacious pack. 5 STARS all the way Thanks from Bill at Pennsylvania Bushcraft Please subscribe.
A medium-sized backpack will often be your most used pack. For carrying daypack loads, tactical loads, travel gear, and perhaps a very light overnight load the Kelty Redwing is one of the best. It is Nutnfancys reference backpack in this this category (2000-3500 cubic inches, internal frame). Also notable is the excellent GoLite Continuum backpack also discussed. While these designs have been updated or discontinued, a review of their features can equip you with some shopping tips for similarly capable daypacks. The Redwing is a long-enduring design that is constantly being updated by Kelty and remains popular for good reasons: convenient panel loading, strong zippers and fabric, comfortable suspension, hydration compatible, behind-pocket (flow-thru) item carry, subdued colors (sometimes camo!), mesh backpanel, pefect pocket designs, and outstanding durability. Few packs match all these features although some may be lighter. One such pack was the GoLite Continuum (discontinued, look for similar models). While lacking convenient panel loading, this Continuum does save a pound in carry weight while still offering some waterproof pockets, good ventilation, side item carry (like fishing poles, rifles), mesh pockets, good (albeit spartan) suspension, hydration pouch, and a great OD color. Its lightweight fabric however is not as durable in hard use as is often the case with lightweight offerings (technology may change this in the future). But for all-around, tough, brush …

This is my review of the Kelty Cosmic Down 20 sleeping bag. It is a 550-fill down sleeping bag that weighs only 2.5lbs for the regular (fitting up to 6′). You can buy it at www.campmor.com for only $80.

A review of the outstanding Kelty Coyote 4750. Overall I think it’s a great bad. Could do with a different more earth tone color and some other slight changes. Overall I really like that bag and it has fit what I needed it to do. Purchased this bag specifically to accommodate my gear as well as my boys gear when I take them with me. Is this bag for you…you decide. Comparing the Redcloud (RC) 5600 to the Redwing (RW) 3100, the RC has a specific sleeping bag compartment on the bottom. The RW does not. However, the RW has the molle webbing to attach a sleeping bag. While I did gain room in some of the side pockets and with the top detachable piece of the RC, I didn’t feel that I was getting that much more bag than what I already had with the RW. As a result, I took back the RC in exchange for the Coyote. Again this was for my needs. I think many would be happy with the RC.
If possible, i need it first week of Nov. Tnx
