The invention is a portable, collapsible enclosure for protection from the elements in an outdoor environment. The tent-like enclosure is provided with one or more fabric coverings each bearing at least one color or camouflage pattern. The coverings are easily removable from the enclosure, and may be reversible, bearing one color or camouflage pattern on one side, and a different color or camouflage pattern on the reverse side. In this fashion, the same portable enclosure can be made to present a variety of appearances, depending on which covering is attached to the enclosure, and which side of the attached covering is exposed or outermost.

The invention claimed is: 1. In a man-portable, tent-like enclosure having a shape defined by a frame with an enclosure exterior surface connected thereto, and the enclosure exterior surface bearing a first camouflage pattern, the improvement comprising: a non self-supporting covering removably disposable over said enclosure exterior surface so as to be supported by said enclosure, said covering bearing a second camouflage pattern on a first covering surface, said second camouflage pattern being different from said first camouflage pattern, said covering having a second covering surface opposing said first covering surface, and said covering having a shape closely conforming to the shape of the portable enclosure so as to surround and cover substantially all of said enclosure exterior surface. 2. The invention of claim 1, wherein said covering bears a third camouflage pattern on said second covering surface, said third camouflage pattern being different from said first and second camouflage patterns, and wherein further said covering is reversible so that the second covering surface is selectively visible from the exterior of the portable enclosure. 3. The invention of claim 1, wherein said enclosure exterior surface comprises a two-sided flexible material removably attached to said frame. 4. A portable enclosure comprising a collapsible frame characterized in that it tends spontaneously from a collapsed condition to an erected condition thereof, and a flexible, non self-supporting covering substantially surrounding said frame to thereby define a walled enclosure, said flexible covering removably attached to said frame and having an interior surface and an exterior surface, said exterior surface bearing a first visible pattern and a further non self-supporting covering removably disposable over said enclosure covering so as to be supported by said enclosure, said removable covering bearing a second visible pattern on a first covering surface, said second visible pattern being different from said first visible pattern, said further covering having a shape closely conforming to the shape of the portable enclosure so as to surround and cover substantially all of said enclosure. 5. The invention of claim 4, further comprising said interior surface bearing a second visible pattern, and said flexible covering being reversibly attachable to said frame, so that the second visible pattern is selectively visible from the exterior of said portable enclosure. 6. An apparatus, comprising: A man-portable, tent-like enclosure having a shape defined by a frame with an enclosure exterior surface connected thereto; and a flexible covering removably reversibly disposable over said enclosure exterior surface so as to be supported by said enclosure, said covering bearing a first camouflage pattern on a first covering surface, said covering having a second covering surface opposing said first covering surface, said second covering surface bearing a second camouflage pattern thereon which is different from said first camouflage pattern, and said covering adapted to surround and cover substantially all of said enclosure exterior surface wherein said enclosure exterior surface bears a third camouflage pattern thereon which is different from either of the first or second camouflage patterns. 7. The portable enclosure of claim 4, wherein said removable covering has a second covering surface opposite said first covering surface, said second covering surface bearing a third visible pattern that is different from either of said first and second visible patterns, and wherein said further covering is reversible so that the second covering surface is selectively visible from the exterior of the portable enclosure.
