Abstract
A combination tent and backpack. In the tent mode of operation, the tent is assembled with a floor framework having two or more framework pieces which are connected together. The floor framework is assembled within an envelope or other structure which surrounds and holds the floor framework together. The floor framework also acts as a supporting layer upon which the person and his gear rest. The floor framework is suspended from a tree or other supporting structure using a plurality of suspension lines which extend from a common connection point to points about the floor framework. A tent shroud can be installed over the suspension lines and tent floor to provide waterproof cover. In the backpack mode of operation the envelope is folded. Shoulder straps are drawn from the back of the backpack, up and over and through slip-fittings and then about the shoulders of the individual to be finally connected to the front of the backpack at a point near the wearer's waist.
