A bag having a convertible carrying system that may convert from a single strap capable of being used to carry the bag to more than one strap portion capable of being used to carry the bag. In embodiments, the strap may be connected to the bag at its ends to form a single strap capable of being used to carry the bag and the strap may be folded at a mid-section and removably attached to the bag substantially at or near at the mid-section to form more than one strap portion capable of being used to carry the bag. In an embodiment, the bag may have a secondary strap attached to the strap substantially at or near the mid-section which is capable of helping to maintain the folding in the strap. In this manner, the bag may be carried by a user as a shoulder bag or as a backpack.

1. A carrying system capable of being used to carry a bag, comprising: a strap having two ends, first and second opposing faces, and a mid-section;a first and second connector attached at respective ends of said strap at complementary and opposite locations, wherein said strap is capable of being attached to said bag at said connectors for carrying said bag, and wherein said strap is capable of being folded substantially at or near said mid-section and removably attached to said bag substantially at or near said mid-section to form more than one strap portion capable of being used to carry said bag; anda secondary strap having a first and second end, wherein said first end of said secondary strap is connected to said first face of said strap substantially at or near said mid-section of said strap, and wherein said second end of said secondary strap is releasably connected via a fastener to said second face of said strap on a substantially opposite side of the mid-section compared to where said first end of said secondary strap is connected to said first face of said strap so that when said strap is folded substantially at or near said mid-section to form more than one strap portion and said second end of said secondary strap is connected to said second face of said strap, said secondary strap helps maintain said fold in said strap. 2. The carrying system of claim 1, wherein said folded strap comprises a substantially “U” shape. 3. The carrying system of claim 1, further comprising a buckle connected to said bag wherein said buckle is capable of removably attaching said strap to said bag substantially at said mid-section. 4. The carrying system of claim 1, further comprising an adjuster connected to said strap that is capable of being used to adjust the length of said strap. 5. The carrying system of claim 1, wherein said bag is capable of being carried as a backpack by said more than one strap portion. 6. The carrying system of claim 1, wherein the connector comprises at least one of a clip, “J” hook, ring, and swivel hook. 7. The carrying system of claim 1, wherein the fastener comprises at least one of a snap, hook and loop fastener, button, buckle, clip, loop, hook, swivel hook, releasable loop, and carabiner. 8. The carrying system of claim 1, wherein said folded strap comprises a substantially “V” shape. 9. The carrying system of claim 8, wherein the “V” shape forms an angle that is between at least about 40 degrees and at least about 100 degrees. 10. The carrying system of claim 8, wherein the “V” shape forms an angle that is greater than at least about 60 degrees. 11. The carrying system of claim 8, wherein the “V” shape forms an angle that is less than at least about 100 degrees. 12. A method for converting a carrying system from a strap comprising one uniform strap portion to a strap comprising more than one strap portion, wherein the strap has first and second opposing faces, is configured to be used to carry a bag and is attached substantially at its ends to the bag, the method comprising: removably attaching a mid-section of the strap to the bag so that the strap comprises more than one strap portion, wherein the mid-section is located between the ends of the strap, andremovably attaching via a connector a first portion of a secondary strap to the first face of the strap at or near the mid-section of the strap, wherein a second portion of the secondary strap is connected to the second face of the strap on a substantially opposite side of the mid-section compared to where the first portion of the secondary strap is connected to the first face of the strap. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the mid-section located between the ends of the strap comprises a location that is substantially halfway between the ends of the strap. 14. The method of claim 12, further comprising folding the strap substantially at the mid-section before removably attaching the mid-section of the strap to the bag. 15. The method of claim 12, wherein the connector comprises at least one of a snap, hook and loop fastener, button, buckle, clip, loop, hook, swivel hook, releasable loop and carabiner. 16. The method of claim 12, wherein removably attaching the mid-section of the strap to the bag comprises engaging a mechanism for removably attaching the mid-section of the strap to the bag. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the mechanism for removably attaching the mid-section of the strap to the bag comprises at least one of a buckle, snap, hook and loop fastener, clip, loop, hook, swivel hook, releasable loop, and carabiner. 18. A carrying system for a bag comprising: a strap having first and second ends, first and second opposing faces, and a mid-section located between the first and second ends of the strap;a first mechanism for removably attaching the first and second ends of the strap to substantially first and second ends of the bag, respectively, wherein the strap comprises one uniform strap portion when the first and second ends of the strap are attached to the bag;a second mechanism for removably attaching the mid-section of the strap to the bag, wherein the strap comprises more than one strap portion when the first and second ends and the mid-section are attached to the bag; anda secondary strap having a first and second end, wherein the first end of the secondary strap is connected to the first face of the strap substantially at or near the mid-section of the strap, and wherein the second end of the secondary strap is configured to be releasably connected via a connector to the second face of the strap on a substantially opposite side of the mid-section compared to where the first end of the secondary strap is connected to the first face of the strap. 19. The carrying system of claim 18, wherein the first mechanism comprises at least one of clips, “J” hooks, rings, and swivel hooks. 20. The carrying system of claim 18, wherein the second mechanism comprises at least one of a buckle, snap, hook and loop fastener, clip, loop, hook, swivel hook, releasable loop, and carabiner. 21. The carrying system of claim 18, wherein the first mechanism is different from the second mechanism. 22. The carrying system of claim 18, wherein the mid-section located between the first and second ends of the strap comprises a location that is substantially halfway between the first end and the second end of the strap. 23. The carrying system of claim 18, further comprising an adjuster connected to the strap, wherein the adjuster is capable of adjusting a length of the strap. 24. The carrying system of claim 18, wherein the bag is capable of being carried as a backpack when the strap comprises more than one strap portion. 25. The carrying system of claim 18, wherein the connector comprises at least one of a snap, hook and loop fastener, button, buckle, clip, loop, hook, swivel hook, releasable loop, and carabiner.
