A backpack provided in combination with a seat unit in which the seat unit may be completely separated from the back pack when it is desired to use the seat unit and when in its storage condition is compactly contained within an auxiliary compartment of the back pack. The seat unit may also be used while it is connected to the back pack, with a portion of the back pack re-positioned to provide a cushion for the seat. The seat unit is formed of a pair of pivoted leg sections, which support a flexible seat, and is secured to a planar support member for the emplacement of the seat unit within the back pack.
