Convertible blanket and backpack

Abstract

A convertible blanket and backpack system in which a backpack converts to a ground cover blanket. The apparatus can include a waterproof ground cover blanket that includes a circular channel with two opposing openings formed adjacent to a perimeter of ground cover blanket and further including a cord that can be used to open or close the fabric material to switch between a backpack and a ground cover blanket. Additionally, the device can include one or more removable blankets that can be removably attached to the ground cover blanket.
