>>477093well, yeah. I mean, for going /out/, you're probably not going to want to try cramming a tent into a school backpack, but the term for the equipment is still just "backpack".
yes, they do make special ultralight tents, but I'm not aware of any that turn into backpacks. ultralight tents often tend to be retardedly expensive affairs, though, so I avoid them.
my personal stuff: I use a 35L high sierra internal frame backpack, and use it to carry an el cheapo Coleman 2 man tent, sleeping bag, and all my other /out/ stuff. the backpack is bigger than what you'd take to school, but its still just a backpack, and the tent is a $30 POS from Walmart...
