This is such an upgrade to rooting around in a plastic tote where things are all jumbled and stacked on top of each other. It's amazing what this will fit. Full sized spatulas/spoons, tongs etc in the side pockets, GSR 10" skillet in the middle with 4 sea to summit plastic plates inside the pan. Cutting board, GSI 1.8 liter kettle in the bottom with a fuel canister inside...tons of eating utensils in the upper pockets, soap, scrubbers etc...spices, hot sauce etc. in a top section and I still had room for my rectangular collapsible sink as the last item to go in. Makes everything so much easier. Worth every penny - looks good, quality materials.
I've known about this item for years. I always thought hmmm I dont need it. This year I finally got it for a week long car camping trip/BLM land. I like it a lot. It attaches to my roof bars or can be laid out on the edge of a gear box or picnic table. The cord for the paper towel holds up perfectly. (Don't untie it, one end has a toggle you undo...oops). Zip pockets were big for tons of things like unsheathed knives, can opener, juicer, etc. I could store plates/bowls/colander/collapsible camp sink. It was wild how much this thing held. I didn't realize how much happier I could be with this stuff well-organized. The crate of kitchen stuff used to be a frustrating unorganized part of my car camp setup. I hope the whole thing is washable since it will definitely be getting some funk and grime.
Big enough for 6 day trip, 4 people. We are not big car camper/overlander types as we spend most of our time in the backcountry, off trail, but we wanted something "luxurious" for a week long trip traveling in the Owens Valley to see what this whole front country, sleep near/in your car, camping is all about. Thinking this would be a one-off use we didn't want to spend too much dough. This galley did not disappoint. We were able to fit place settings, a large assortment of cooking and eating utensils, oils/spices, napkins/towels, water filters, sponges, soap...and the list goes on. The Kelty Camp Galley swallowed everything we put in it. The Galley was super easy to hang off the rig, or lay out on a table if needed and was one of the easiest pieces of gear to access when needed.
I'm married to an adventurer, and the "kitchen bin" where nothing quite fit in correctly, and 2 hrs into being at camp was a mess could have put me over the edge. This bag made life so much easier! The top zipper pockets very neatly held: top pocket with mesh - dish washing supplies, second pocket - cooking utensils, third pocket fully sealed from blowing dirt - plastic silverware. We used the big sleeves for paper plates, and the big area held a good sized multipurpose bowl with our nesting cookware set inside that and a couple of towels. Matches, lighters, and a roll of garbage bags on the outside pockets for quick access. It also fits nicely in the car, sits nice and tall next to the cooler and easy to grab and put away as needed. Works just fine laid out on the picnic table as long as no one picks it up with the zippers open.
Bought this for easy storage and packable for my DeckedUSA drawer system. Folds out and clamps easily to my Thule rack system, providing easy access to spices, camping utensils, accessories and a convenient paper towel holder. No more accessing plastic tubs that become disorganized and cumbersome to pack. Highly recommend for over-landing and ease of use.
So, it holds a few the the regular "spice rack" sized containers or if you want to be fancy a dozen or so of the 1 and 2oz little nalgene containers in the middle zipper compartment. The bottom zipper compartment holds tongs, spatula, mini-whisk, folding serving spoon, and a few other bits and bobs, all but the mini-whisk and folding spoon are "home kitchen" sized. The pictures with the product description are pretty accurate. It's not the end all be all Kitchen-In-A-Bag, but is pretty handy none the less.
I have changed my camp kitchen setup multiple times in the last few years and was never fully satisfied with my setup. I saw this new product and purchased it in store. I am so happy with how my camp kitchen is now setup and love that I can hang it off my husband’s truck or a tree and it is sturdy with plenty of room for all of your items.
Bought this for car camping and it does exactly what I wanted. The 600D fabric feels solid, holds its shape when you hang it or lay it on a tailgate, and the U-zip opens wide so you can actually get to everything. Three zippered pockets up top take spices, cutlery, and small kitchen tools; the sleeves hold a cutting board and plates; side pockets are great for spray cooking oil. Packed size is compact enough for the car, and once it’s hung it keeps the kitchen from turning into a pile. Not a backpacking piece — it’s a car-camp kitchen organizer — and for that it fits well. I would buy again.
I ordered this product recently and haven't yet camped with it. However, I can tell that this will be incredibly useful for organizing my van camping kitchen. It is large enough to hold plates, silverware, utensils, and pan or collapsible pot. The soft sides will minimize rattling on the drive. It is more space efficient than the previously used picnic backpack or plastic bin. It can hang easily and has a paper towel holder. A great product.
This is a very well-made organizer for camp cooking resources (plates, knives, matches, napkins, salt and pepper shakers, etc.). The only major drawback is the lack of shoulder straps. The bag must be carried by its handle.
