A tent is your shelter while camping, so durability matters. These three American-made options are built to last.
Many of Kelty’s tents are made in the U.S., including this backpacking model. Lightweight and compact, it packs easily into a hiking bag. Designed for backpackers who want a quick setup, the tent features pre-attached guylines and durable aluminum poles, allowing it to go up in minutes and come down just as fast. While it doesn't have tons of extra space or premium finishes, it offers a rugged, waterproof, two-pole shelter that's built for efficiency on the trail.
Seek Outside tents prioritize function over luxury, and this model is designed with winter camping in mind. The floorless, tipi-style hybrid is woodstove-ready, with a sewn-in stove jack and a top ventilation port. It comfortably fits two people with a woodstove or up to four without one. Built to be waterproof and fire-resistant, the tent withstands freezing temperatures while retaining warmth.
If you’re willing to splurge, this Feathered Friends tent is a long-term investment that's built to last. The U.S.-made design is built to handle everything from hot summer conditions to icy winter winds. It offers space for up to three people, along with a vestibule that provides added protection for gear. Its tunnel-style design allows the tent to pitch and pack down quickly, whether you’re breaking camp or heading back on the trail. Four pegs and a continuous pole system help prevent tangling during setup.

Many Coleman propane stoves are assembled in the United States, including the brand’s Triton two-burner option. A sturdy metal frame supports two windguards that help keep flames steady on breezy trips. After cooking, the stove folds into a compact unit with a built-in handle for easy transport.
If you need to cook a meal quickly on the trail, the Feather Friends WindBurner personal stove system sets up in seconds and heats up fast. Its compact, wind-resistant design helps keep the flame steady, even in stormy conditions. The lock-on pot lets you boil water, heat meals or make hot drinks, and when you’re ready to pack up, the entire system nests neatly inside the pot.

If you want to make water from streams and lakes safe to drink, the Platypus QuickDraw filtration system keeps the process simple. Attach it to a bladder and start filling as the filter removes bacteria and other contaminants. The latest model also screws onto standard water bottle threads, allowing you to filter water directly into your bottle.
If you want a cooler that's built to handle rugged use, the Cordova hard cooler delivers durable performance with a distinctive mountain design. The shock-absorbing hardshell stands up to drops, while the aluminum handles with built-in bottle openers come in handy at camp. Certified bear-resistant, it’s safe to bring deep into the backcountry. Secure latches help lock in cold, keeping food and drinks chilled for days.
