DUAL MODE TENTS
The tents include a tent frame and an outer tent fabric. The tent frame forms an assembled tent frame defining a base and is configured to support the outer tent fabric above the base. The outer tent fabric is configured to be supported by the assembled tent frame to surround an inner space that interfaces the base of the assembled tent frame. The tent is assembled when the outer tent fabric is operably supported by the assembled tent frame, and the assembled tent is configured to interconvert between a shelter configuration and a canopy configuration. In the shelter configuration, the base of the assembled tent frame extends along the support surface. In the canopy configuration, the base of the assembled tent frame is inclined relative to the support surface. Tents further include a lift coupler configured to interconnect the assembled tent with a tent-elevating support in the canopy configuration.

Camping or lounging system configured to be deployable in multiple modes
A system, such as a camping or lounging system, includes a first spreader bar and a second spreader bar. The system also includes a hammock-tent defining a first end sleeve and a second end sleeve, wherein the first spreader bar is configured to be removably inserted into the first end sleeve and the second spreader bar is configured to be removably inserted into the second end sleeve. The system also includes at least one bracket, wherein at least one of the first spreader bar and the second spreader bar is configured to be detachably coupled with the at least one bracket to form a chair framework. The system may be deployable in a hammock-tent mode or a chair mode.
Self-Deploying Bivouac Sack
A portable bivouac sack configured to be self-deploy when released from its compact storage configuration. The bivouac sack comprises an elongated bag shell made of waterproof material with an elongated ground piece and a top panel. The sack is closed on one end, open at an opposite end, and configured to receive a sleeping bag. The top panel is shorter than the ground piece to form a transverse opening into the bag shell and a longitudinally aligned pan. Disposed over the pan is a self-deploying frame that folds into a compact circular configuration for storage and automatically unfolds and self-deploys when released to form an expanded frame. Attached to the frame is a flexible outer cover that expands with the frame to form a dome over the pan. The frame cover extends downward towards the pan and a sliding connector selective attaches the frame cover to the pan to provide egress and ingress to the protected area under the dome. An optional outer cover is provided that fits over the dome.
SHADING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE
A system for providing shade onto a surface is described herein. The system includes a canopy configured for engagement with, and aerial suspension by, a frame. The frame includes a plurality of sections configured for end-to-end alignment from a left end to a right end of the frame. Each section is configured to engage with any adjacent sections to form the frame. The ends of the frame are secured to the surface, thereby aerially suspending the canopy and providing shade to the surface.

Collapsible hand-carried hunting blind
A blind for use by a hunter may be hand carried or statically mounted on the ground. A planar sheet of fabric is held taut by a metal hoop; the blind folds upon itself for storage. At least one view port is at the upper end of the blind. A handle on the rear of the blind comprises crossing straps; it is positioned between two side straps, so the blind may carried by one hand or by forearm. For static upright use, a pole slips into one of a widthwise or a lengthwise pocket on the rear of the blind. A segmented pole collapses to fit the dimension of a folded-upon-itself blind. Bows for shooting arrows are attached to the rear of the blind by a combination of clamps and straps. A lengthwise elongate opening that can be partly or fully closed by a flap enables shooting of an arrow through the blind.
