ABSTRACT:
A combination backpack and tent system utilizes the backpack frame as the support for one end of a tent. This frame has a pair of tent leg holding members attached to the upper end of the frame on each side. The tent is secured to the lower end of the backpack frame; so that it can be rolled up and stored on the frame, covered by a short flap constituting an extension of the floor. This flap is rolled over the tent and secured to the frame. When the tent is erected, the short flap is pulled to the opposite side of the backpack frame and the tent is unrolled. The tent extends up over a pack on the backpack at one end, and telescoping legs or flexible tent pole extensions are attached to the leg holding members on each side of the backpack. The tent is extended; and when it is erected, the pack portion of the backpack faces the interior of the tent. A pair of flaps extend from the sides of the tent over the opposite side of the backpack, and are secured together to form a substantially weather-tight system. The pack portion of the backpack is located inside the tent for access to the contents thereof from within the tent.
