ABSTRACT:
An outdoor sleeping system is provided incorporating a ground cover sheet to which is attached a tent cover in the form of a body section and a head section which are releasably interconnected by a slide fastener or other suitable connector. The tent cover is secured to the ground cover sheet by means of one or more slide fasteners enabling complete removal of the head and body portions of the tent cover or either of the head and body portions thereof as desired. The tent cover is constructed to permit efficient lateral or end entry into the sleeping system as is desired by the user under the conditions involved. Under wet conditions, lateral opening of the tent cover permits entry by the user while the tent cover prevents rain from getting into the sleeping system. The tent cover is supported in upright position by a plurality of ribs each of which being collapsible to a shortened condition for closure and rolling of the sleeping system. When rolled the sleeping system may be secured by means of compression straps. End covers, which may take the form of a frameless pack, are secured by compression straps to thus achieve protective enclosure and endwise compression of the rolled sleeping system. The sleeping system may also include a thermally protective comforter in the form of a single or double thickness having end extensions which may be used as a pillow or thermal protection by the user. The sleeping system also includes a removable sheet structure capable of being assembled to the ground cover sheet and securing a mattress pad in immovable relation relative thereto.
