Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02078487A1] A backpack (10) has a plurality of storage compartments and pockets (50, 56) adapted for storing therein one or more components of a tent within the backpack (10). The pockets (50, 56) are so disposed within the backpack (10) that storage of the one or more tent components therein provides structural rigidity and reinforcement to the backpack. In particular, there is a pair of elongated, upright pockets (50) adapted for storing tent pole members (40) therein so as to provide a rigid backbone to the backpack (10), and there is a pocket (56) located in the base of the backpack (10) adapted for storing a tent canopy and floor sheet (55) therein so as to provide a reinforced and cushioned base to the backpack (10). The backpack (10) also includes a lumbar support pad (30) foldably connected thereto and adapted to be folded down from the backpack (10) to serve as a cushioned seat to the user, the position of the upright main body of the backpack (10) relative to the folded down pad (30) being such that the main body serves as a back rest for the user when seated upon the pad.
