In a preferred embodiment, a back-pack frame having a tent attached when mounted on the frame, in a manner whereby the tent substantially encloses several containers for clothes, food, and the like, and opposing flaps mounted on opposite upright frame supports extend laterally around the folded tent such as to substantially circumscribe the back-pack tent and when the opposing flaps are attached together at their leading edges, they are attachable in a manner which compresses and firms-up the back-pack, tent, and the enclosed containers, the individual flap carrying a plurality of accessory-attaching pockets each respectively customshaped to fit a particular accessory for which it is intended, and the back-pack frame serving as a support for one end of the tent in an erected state as well as the frame including other support elements transportable as a part of or as contained within the back-pack frame for supporting the erected tent at other positions such as an opposite tent end, the novel combination also including a detachable grill which when attached to the frame serves as a further support for supporting the folded tent pack when packed for back-packing.
