The present invention is a combination tent and rain cape. It consists of a square, waterproof tarp and a breathable triangular sheet. A hood, straps, and fasteners are attached to the top side of the tarp along a diagonal. If the tarp is folded along this diagonal, and the hood placed on the users head, the tarp can be worn as a rain cape. On the bottom side of the tarp, there are fasteners attached to two adjacent edges of the square tarp. These mate with fasteners on the triangular sheet creating the tent. The tent can then be pitched by tying only one end to an elevated support such as a tree and staking the other corners out.
