Is this too heaven to backpack with?

It's packable. It has a bag to contain it that packs about the size of a sleeping roll but weighs under 12lbs.

OK, I'll bite...........the tent is all in at 7.5 LBS and has its own carrying bag which should make it very easy to attach to a back-pack. As my use for the tent is on motorcycle trips (tent does well, no complaints once the seams are sealed) it serves the purpose for very little $$.

For week long backpack trip it might be a bit heavy, but for a 1-2 day trip it is fine. Have backpacked with heavier tents, so for the money you can't get much better.

Yes this pack is strong with plenty of room .You should not have any problems.

If you take out the metal frame and pack lightly and fold the bag up using the straps to tie it into a rolled position, then this bag can be "carried on". I have done so on Ryan Air and Thomas Cook Airlines. However if you are not doing a wilderness expedition this pack is over kill. I have retired it after my last backpacking adventure into mexico. It is just to big if you are not mountaineering. Generally the best choice for a cabin carry on backpack is something 45 liters or less.

Yup. You could fit a enough food, clothes, and supplies for a month in the wilderness. It even has backpack straps.

This sleeping bag is one of the thickness I've ever had for it's weather/temp ratings. Yes, it's much thicker than it looks but I would always suggest a base surface mat or pad to place the sleeping bag on if at all possible. If you're trying to travel light and therefore don't want the extra weight of a mat to carry, then I would recommend a different sleeping bag entirely. However, that type of sleeping bag is in the high-end category and you'd better be ready for the prices you'll be dealing with. ;)

Its light enough to backpack in, however, I wouldn't use this under 35 degrees.

yes a lot of wasted space at top, but you wont find a better tent for STRONG winded bad weather! For two people it is actually very comfortable.

I would say yes. I have only used it for backpacking and all of my stuff fits in there perfectly. I'm assuming you will only be taking clothes so you should be good with this backpack. I love this backpack!

I would say no. Great bag, but not designed for long distances or heavy loads.

I think you will be okay. I am a 60 year old widow and took my grandsons camping with it. They helped me set it up. I think if I can do it most people can. I recommend a tarp under the floor of the tent. And don't put anything that can't get wet in the cubby compartments. Good for coolers and such but not backpacks full of clothes. Most of all enjoy the great outdoors and have fun.

It is definitely NOT as portable as a collapsible camp chair, in a bag. And, it is a good deal heavier. But worlds more comfortable!!!! Imagine the chair in the photo completely pushed together; that is as small as it will get.

Hiking from the car to the site is not bad at all, but I recommend that you don't carry this bag while doing extreme backpacking. It's definitely a good bag that will keep you super warm. I hope I answered your question.

I would not chance it. It is too soft to face the airlines and too big for carry on.

No....if you mean the Aplation Trail then no. This pack is too heavy. Go with something lighter weight. Even a Med ALICE pack would be better. You want something that you can pack some essentials in. Not the kitchen sink. The bigger the pack. The more you will want to carry.

In 5'3 128 it worked for me .holds a lot the rain gear attached is handy .It's a bag that it's much better full when it's not full it flops around a bit my bf has a kelty it's smaller then mine but well made he really likes his and is probably about your size it really depends on how much you want to pack I used mine in Costa Rica and my only complaint is that if it's not full it's a little awkward .hope that helps your decision have a good trip :-)

I am a true frugal camper, I feel it is a good value. if you want a more comfortable night sleep while backpacking, then this is one of the best values in a sleeping pad. the specs compare right there with pads costing 3x as much it has an r-rating of 3.7 so it is almost a 4-seaon pad, and the weight and volume are right on target. However, if you sleep fine on cold hard ground it may not be worth it.

My son used it for a 5 day wildernes trip, but we hadably to scale down his load because he only weighs 65lbs. It could easily carry 70-80 lbs of gear. would say you can make it work if you are only taking limited clothing and food. If you are not caring much food or cooking supplies, I think it will work great. There are lots of pockets for toiletries and personal items. A 30 degree bag in a stuff sack fits in the sleeping bag section perfectly. I am 5'5" and the pack length fits me very comfort
