Tent + Backpack combo

[Bishop]

When it comes to backpacks there's only so much scope for innovation after all it's basically only a bag with straps but this caught my attention.

From my POV it could do with a few more pockets and perhaps some compression straps but the general idea coupled with the speed of deployment would seem to make it ideal for the wild camping [pitch late - bug out early] brigade.

Interesting idea

There's probably better shelters out there which take up less room in a normal pack though

Does look kinda cool but really just a gimmick or best suited for homeless people like it was originally designed for. As Shewie says, Much better tents/shelters that are smaller in pack and go up as quick.

Would rather have option to choose best/fave pack and best/fave shelter.

How much space is left in the bag when its all folded in to it?
