In a combined backpack and folding chair, the chair has a camp stool base frame. A pivoting backrest is held in upright position on the stool frame by in-turned, truncated ends at the bottom of a backrest frame, which strike the camp stool frame. Alternatively, the backrest frame has a continuous bar at its bottom, which strikes the camp stool frame. The backpack is offset from the chair by clearance established in the dimension of a bridge between the backpack and chair. The in-turned ends clear the backpack by a lateral distance, by-passing the sides of the backpack. The continuous bar clears the backpack by a longitudinal distance, by-passing the rear face of the backpack.

[ I claim:] [1.] A convertible chair and backpack, comprising:(a) a backpack;(b) a chair convertible between a seating configuration and a backpacking configuration, and having front and rear edges defined when in seating configuration; and(c) a bridge of predetermined width connecting said backpack and said chair at the rear edge of the chair and positioning the backpack rearwardly of the chair in seating configuration; rein said chair comprises:a chair seat and base frame moveable between a collapsed configuration suitable for backpacking and a deployed configuration suitable for seating;a chair backrest frame carrying a backrest cushion near a longitudinal end of the backrest frame, connected to the base frame on a pivot axis, selectively pivotable thereon for movement between an upright position for seating and a downward position for backpacking, the backrest frame including a pair of elongated side members, one on each lateral side of the chair base frame, extending longitudinally between said pivot axis and said backrest cushion, wherein in downward position the backrest frame positions the backrest cushion on an opposite side of the chair frame from the backpack, for providing a cushioned back support between a wearer and the backpack for backpacking use;a stop means for limiting upward pivotal movement of the backrest frame with respect to the base frame at upright seating position, wherein the stop means is offset from the backpack by a sufficient distance that the backrest frame is pivotable between upright position and downward position without substantial interference with said backpack, and wherein the stop means comprises an end segment of each side member of the backrest frame, longitudinally positioned on an opposite side of the pivot axis from the backrest cushion, defining a predetermined lateral spacing between end segments that is substantially at least the predetermined width of the bridge, allowing the end segments to laterally bypass the bridge when folded forwardly from upright position to downward position.
