Looking for a BIFL gift idea for my Gen Z daughter
My partner and I love to cuddle on our Kelty folding loveseat when camping. It’s very sturdy and will give many years of enjoyment.

Backpack suggestions?
I have a light but steady use Swiss Gear computer backpack from the mid 90's. Still looks like new. Also have a Kelty backpack from 2012 that has also held up remarkably.

Is there such thing as a “good” tent?
Of course there are good tents. They aren't sold at WalMart and will cost more than $100, but there are tons of options out there. I'm still using some I bought in the 1990s or early 2000s, including Marmot, North Face, REI, Kelty, and Eureka. (We own a lot of tents, from a 1-person bivy to a 12x16 cabin tent.) If you're just a casual camper you could do worse than stopping by REI and asking for help there. Or if you're camping from a vehicle and want comfort, look at [WhiteDuck ](https://whiteduckoutdoors.com/collections/wall-tents)or similar. I've used those elk hunting and for work sites in Alaska, they will last a lifetime for family tenting.

Is there such thing as a “good” tent?
Besides what everyone else said, look for one with aluminum poles (fiberglass sucks), and the size and features you want. Any of the name brand companies (North Face, Big Agnes, Kelty, etc) make solid tents. They all lie slightly about how many people fit in them - so if it's for two people get a three person tent, and so on.

What brands do you trust to always deliver a high quality product?
Ovis has been slipping in quality lately, IMHO. It went the way of LL Bean. Also, great catch with Kelty. Lowkey amazing products and reasonable prices.

0 degree sleeping bag
Get a hundred dollar mummy bag from Backcountry. If you have warm clothes to layer with, you can extend the temp range of whichever bag you choose. Also a nice inflatable sleeping pad will help with comfort and warmth. Personally, I have slept in an old 40 degree synthetic fill North Face bag on top of an old Kelty inflatable pad. This set up with sweat pants and a hoody has kept me warm enough in temps down to ten degrees Fahrenheit. Good luck with the van life! Also, a great alternative to an inflatable pad, is an old thick foam mat from your local surplus store.
