I plan on setting fire to both my tent and sleeping bag after seeing the JakPak. The JakPak is a new combination of a sleeping bag, jacket and tent.

The JakPak is designed for people who want to travel light when they rough it. JakPak easily goes from jacket to sleeping bag to tent in a matter of minutes. I am no pro at [putting up tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zpacks-duplex-pro) or rolling sleeping bags, but I am definitely an all-star when it comes to wearing jackets. I'm going to keep my eyes on this one.
