Abstract

There is a combination sleeping bag system. There is a tent member, including a tent base, a tent wall coupled to the tent base and defining a tent interior, and a tent aperture through the tent wall; and a sleeping bag defining a sleeping cavity, extending through the tent aperture, and including a head portion disposed within the tent interior, a foot portion disposed exterior the tent member, and a storage cavity accessible from the sleeping cavity.

Claims

1. A combination sleeping bag system, comprising:

a tent member, including;

a tent base;

a tent wall coupled to the tent base and defining a tent interior; and

a tent aperture through the tent wall;

a sleeping bag defining a sleeping cavity, extending through the tent aperture, and including;

a head portion disposed within the tent interior; and

a foot portion disposed exterior the tent member; and

a storage cavity accessible from the sleeping cavity and extending therefrom.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a selectably sealable aperture providing access between the sleeping cavity and the storage cavity.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the storage cavity comprises capacity to compressively enclose both the sleeping bag and tent member.

4. The sleeping bag of claim 1, further comprising a rod sheath coupled to an exterior of the storage cavity.

5. The sleeping bag of claim 1, further comprising a bottom outer member including water-proof and abrasion-resistant material.

6. The sleeping bag of claim 1, further comprising a selectably sealable aperture providing direct access between the storage cavity and an exterior of the sleeping bag.

7. The sleeping bag of claim 1, wherein an exterior surface of the system is substantially contiguous across the tent member and the sleeping bag.

8. The sleeping bag of claim 1, further comprising an entrance disposed through the tent wall.

9. A combination sleeping bag system, comprising:

a tent member, including;

a tent base;

a tent wall coupled to the tent base and defining a tent interior; and

a tent aperture through the tent wall; and

a sleeping bag extending through the tent aperture and including;

a head portion disposed within the tent interior; and

a foot portion disposed exterior the tent member.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the tent aperture is substantially water-proof and substantially wind-proof.

11. The system of claim 9, further comprising a plurality of support rods coupled to and supporting the tent wall.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the plurality of support rods comprises:

a pair of longitudinal support rods slidably coupled to the tent wall; and

a transverse support rod coupled between the pair of longitudinal support rods and extending substantially perpendicular to a long axis of the sleeping bag

13. The system of claim 9, further comprising a bottom outer member including water-proof and abrasion-resistant material.

14. The system of claim 9, wherein the sleeping bag is removably coupled to the tent member.

15. A combination sleeping bag system for providing shelter to a user, comprising:

an outer shell; and

an inner shell substantially enclosed by the outer shell defining;

a sleeping cavity; and

a storage cavity accessible from the sleeping cavity.

16. The system of claim 15, further comprising a selectably sealable aperture providing access between the sleeping cavity and the storage cavity.

17. The system of claim 15, wherein the storage cavity comprises capacity to compressively enclose the sleeping bag.

18. The system of claim 15, further comprising a selectably sealable aperture providing direct access between the storage cavity and an exterior of the sleeping bag.

19. The system of claim 15, further comprising a cinch device coupled about an interface between a storage portion and a sleeping portion.

20. The system of claim 15, further comprising a rod sheath coupled to an exterior of the outer shell.
