A binder device including a body having a first cover and a second cover directly or indirectly pivotally coupled together and at least partially defining an inner compartment therebetween. The body further includes a binding mechanism positioned in the inner compartment, a first body securing device coupled to the body, and a second body securing device coupled to the body. The binder device includes a strap including first and second strap segments. The strap is movable between a first configuration wherein the first and second strap segments are releasably coupled together to form a continuous strap that is wearable over a shoulder of a user, and a second configuration wherein the first strap segment is releasably coupled the first body securing device and the second strap segment is releasably coupled to the second body securing device such that the first and second strap segments each at least partially defines a loop. Each loop is shaped and configured to receive an arm of a user therethrough such that the binder device is wearable on a back of the user in the manner of a backpack. Each strap segment is configured to be releasably coupled to only one of the first or second body securing devices.

A portable fire ring is provided. The portable fire ring includes a plurality of plate sections which are secured together in an end-to-end relationship to form or fold into various geometrically shaped operably configured fire rings. The plurality of plate sections includes first and second end plate sections couplable to the remaining plate sections to close the desired geometric shape. Each plate section is connected end to end to an adjacent plate section so that the portable fire ring is moveable or foldable between the various operable configurations and a storage configuration.

Described is a multipurpose overnight bag which includes a storage body and a sleeping bag coupled thereto, and which includes one or more shoulder straps connectable to the storage body to enable the multipurpose overnight bag to be carried by a user when it is configured in a travel mode. The multipurpose overnight bag is configured such that when put into the travel mode the sleeping hag wraps completely around and cushions the storage body, thereby protecting the contents of the storage body and providing a plush and comfortable carrying experience for a user carrying it via the one or more shoulder straps.

A backpack apparatus equipped with an extendable inflatable sleep surface is shown. The apparatus is configured to appear similar to that of a conventional backpack, having dual straps for shoulder carry, as well as wheels and an extendable handle. An inflatable sleeping surface is concealed within the apparatus, and is configured to extend out from the apparatus when desired. Horizontal straps ensure that the sleeping surface remains retracted during travel, or the surface is housed within a compartment of the apparatus. A retractable awning is disposed at a top of the apparatus, and is configured to extend in order to provide shade during rest. The awning is equipped with a night light. The apparatus is preferably equipped with an internal battery, which may be used to recharge portable electronics via a USB output.
