Abstract: A container has a storage compartment and an opening into the storage compartment. The container further has left and right shoulder straps for a person to wear the container in an upright position at the person's back with the opening unobstructed by the shoulder straps. A cape is attached to the container, and is movable from a stowed position within the container to a deployed position reaching downward from the container. A head covering also is attached to the container. The head covering is movable from a stowed position within the container to a deployed position reaching upward from the container onto the user's head. The opening is located between the cape and the head covering, and is unobstructed by the cape and the head covering to provide access into the storage compartment downward between the cape and the head covering, when the container is worn in the upright position with the cape and the head covering in the deployed positions.

Abstract: A means to keep a sandwich or food item fresh and safe in a disposable closeable plastic bag is provided. The means is an extension to the bag that contains a refrigerateable gel polymer. As a result, the closeable bag can be placed into the freezer for allowing the gel polymer to solify. Then the bag is removed from the freezer and a sandwich or food item is placed thereinto. The bag is then closed and folded over, so that the extension abuts the food so as to maintain freshness for an extended time. Alternately, a double closeable plastic bag with substantially identical pouches or pockets is provided, with one end containing food and the opposite end designed for receiving a frozen gel polymer pack. Still further, the plastic bag may have a separate gel receiving pouch disposed to abut the food storage pocket of the bag.
