A unique strap carrier tote carries a rolled yoga mat, collapsed hula hoop, towel, prayer rug, poster/drawing case, or other piece of equipment in a backpack style on the user's back. Two adjustable straps encircle the piece of equipment—typically proximate opposing ends of the rolled mat or opposing sectional sides of the collapsed hoop—and two adjustable shoulder straps extend therefrom. The user can sling the piece of equipment across her back so that her hands will be free, and the equipment will be securely and easily carried during walking, running, climbing, biking, etc.
