Abstract: A pack is disclosed having a pack support structure, and a stand structure connected to the pack support structure. A disclosed collapsible shelter is stored on the pack and includes a floor material that provides a ground cover under the collapsible shelter, and is stored on the pack for carrying. The collapsible shelter, when in the deployed position, is attached to the pack support structure so that the pack is part of the collapsible shelter and is supported by the pack support structure. A shroud is also disclosed attached to the pack support structure to act as a heat shield. Support equipment and supplies are stored in the pack, and are accessible from inside of the collapsible shelter. Disclosed configurations allows for rapid deployment, and increased protection from heat in an emergency situation such as when a firefighter requires emergency protection from a wildfire.
