Abstract: An apparatus for carrying folded hose, such as fire hose to locations where it is needed. The apparatus is constructed of lightweight, flexible material, such as webbed nylon and is capable of being worn on the back of a person, as a backpack. The apparatus has a U-shaped bottom support panel which supports the bottom and sides of at least one folded hose. The back of the folded hose is supported by a vertical support strap which lies against the back of the person wearing the apparatus. An upper horizontal strap and lower horizontal strap extend from the vertical back support strap around the folded hose to secure the folded hose to the apparatus. At least one anchor strap is attached to the bosom of the apparatus and the lower horizontal strap preventing the folded hose from slipping out of the bottom of the apparatus. The apparatus has two carrying or shoulder straps and a waist strap. The shoulder straps, waist strap and horizontal straps are adjustable.
