Disclosed is a backpack, shelter, rain poncho/rainfly/pack cover combination. The combination is configured such that the tent is stored in a zippered front pocket of the backpack, a removable hooded rain poncho/rainfly/pack cover is stored in a pocket on the top of the pack, and a telescoping frame sits in an integrated sleeve within the pack, preferably against a foam backpanel. The front of the backpack is configured to form a wall of the tent, when the tent is erected. The telescoping frame typically consists of (i) one horizontal hollow tube arm; (ii) an adjustable hinge connected to each end of the horizontal tube arm, each hinge configured to lock at 90 degrees as well as a wider angle; and (iii) a vertical leg assembly connected to each adjustable hinge, each vertical leg assembly containing two telescoping hollow tubes.

A backpack is provided with multiple attached hoods, comprising a front wall, a back wall, a first inner compartment for carrying items, and a second outer compartment having a pocket opening. The first and second hoods are attached to an attachment strip that is itself attached to the front wall of the backpack, but is spaced apart from the wall for creating a passage to the second outer compartment. At least one or both of the first and second hoods can pass through the passage to enter a pocket opening in the second outer compartment and may be selectively stored in the outer compartment independently of each other.
