ABSTRACT:
A backpack frame and support assembly includes a backpack frame together with first, second, and third poles and first, second, and third couplings that removably couple the poles to a backpack frame to form a tripod-like support configuration. The couplings hold the poles so that the poles angle away from the backpack frame advantageously for improved stability. In addition, the couplings hold the poles in a way enabling a user to remove the poles easily by lifting the backpack frame. The couplings may be part of the backpack frame, they may be attached to a backpack frame as original equipment, or they may be mounted as retrofit equipment on an existing prior art backpack frame. The poles in one embodiment slide together to form a walking staff or two trekking poles, and a separate hook attaches to the third pole to adapt it to use in mounting a bear bag over a tree limb.
