Abstract: A tent (10) having a fabric enclosure (16) which including a number of walls (18), a floor (22) having a floor perimeter (4) and a framework (14) which supports the fabric enclosure (16) and urges it to expand outwardly. The walls (18) meet the floor (22) and are attached together at a joining seam (25) near the floor perimeter (4). The floor (4) is preferably a tub floor (32) which is joined to the walls (18) at the joining seam (25) which is at a distance vertically removed from the ground plane. One or more skirts (34) are attached to the walls (18) at a distance vertically removed from the ground plane. The skirts (34) are attached external to the floor perimeter (4) and overlap a portion of the walls (18) so that the wall portion and floor perimeter (4) is protected from rainfall.

Abstract: A tent including a fabric enclosure forming a plurality of walls and defining an interior of the tent. A frame is positioned with respect to the fabric enclosure and is configured to support the fabric enclosure. At least one eve portion is coupled to the frame and extends outwardly from a first wall of the plurality of walls. A cover is coupled to the frame and the at least one eve portion. The cover is configured to cover at least a portion of the fabric enclosure.

Abstract: A sleeping bag includes a sleeping bag body configured to envelope a person lying within the sleeping bag body, and a section of thermal fleece material attached to the inside surface of the sleeping bag body at a designated area, configured to provide additional warmth to a sleeping bag user at the designated area. In one aspect of the invention, the designated area includes a foot area. In another aspect of the invention, the thermal fleece material is soft to touch. In another aspect of the invention, the sleeping bag body is configured to couple to another sleeping bag body to form a larger sleeping bag. Advantages of the invention include the ability to provide added thermal insulation to a sleeping bag, as well as added comfort to a sleeping bag user, at a designated area of the sleeping bag.

Abstract: A tent (10) with extendable windows (14) having a main structure (12) including a plurality of walls (16, 18, 20) which are oriented at a first angle (60) with respect to a vertical reference. The tent (10) also includes at least one window (14) which is extendable to a second angle (62) with respect to a vertical reference, where the second angle (62) is more negative angle than the first angle (60) thus producing windows (14) which are horizontally extendable further than the tent walls (16, 18, 20).
