Claim:
A combination sleeping bag system, comprising: a tent member, including: a tent base including a plurality of coupling strips; 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; a foot portion disposed within the tent interior; and a shoulder portion; a plurality of support rods coupled to and supporting the tent wall, the support rods including: 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 at a medial portion of the longitudinal support rods and extending substantially perpendicular to a long axis of the sleeping bag; wherein the distance between the coupling strips is less than the length of the longitudinal support rods forcing the longitudinal support rods to bend when coupled thereto; and a storage cavity accessible from the sleeping cavity and extending substantially perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis formed by a line between the head and foot portions of the sleeping bag therefrom, wherein the storage cavity does not extend the entire length of a side of the sleeping bag system, the storage cavity including: a first selectably sealable aperture providing access between the sleeping cavity and the storage cavity; and a second selectably sealable aperture providing direct access between the storage cavity and an exterior of the sleeping bag; wherein the storage cavity comprises capacity to compressively enclose both the sleeping bag and tent member, and wherein the storage cavity extends outwardly from the shoulder portion in a coplanar orientation with a bottom of the tent member.
