If the past year has taught us anything, it’s this: with the right equipment, we can do just about everything outside, in just about any weather. Your friends at Kelty have known this since the 1950s, when our fearless leader first made outdoor comfort his mission—and we’ve spent every moment since tweaking and perfecting those […]

Beer is food, right? But now you’re kind of wondering: what would it be like to ACTUALLY commune with Mother Nature, […]

Unless we’re talking specifically about Chuck E. Cheese establishments, the phrase “closed until further notice” is not typically something that parents want to hear—particularly with summer’s hot breath on the backs of our necks. We’ve all fought the good fight through this year’s bizarro spring, our offspring surviving on a steady diet of Pop-Tarts and […]

So, it’s possible that your March hasn’t turned out *quite* as planned? SAME. So far, 2020 has felt a bit like being thrown from the frying pan into the dumpster fire.

If you’re reading this post (probably on your phone, am I right?), we probably don’t have to tell you that nature is basically AWESOME. But for those of us who live in a city and work indoors, staring at some kind of screen all day long (not to mention the “downtime” we spend scrolling through […]

August 26 may be National Dog Day, but it’s just another Monday to us Kelytans; we basically worship at our dogs’ feet 24/7/365.
