This is dedicated to the New Trilitary Pac I designed. It is a backpack hammock tent all in one that flips over into a tent below that is carried by backpack straps or a detachable bullet proof vest. It also has a pull out hat out of the back of the back pack and the hat has slots to hold tripod camping stool legs.
I am becoming a paid member as soon as figure out how too LOL
