After a long day of hiking through the woods, strip it off and set it up as your sleeping tent. This colorful, ultralight, multi-functional outfit-tent is perfect for the post-postmodern backpacker who has no clue what's going on and doesn't care.

I wasn't aware trash bags were a fashion trend, and that they came in so many colors.

Pack up your sorrow
The trash man comes tomorrow
Leave it at the curb and it'll just go roll away
