Swags. What would you recomend?

[Peter ST_R]

This is how i chose mine (Downunder Buffalo)
2) Decide on the style of swag
Hoops or no Hoops
I prefer no hoops because a swag is a swag not a tent. Unroll and tie the head end to bull bar or tree done! You may prefer hoops if you like the canvas off of you.
Mesh at head and/or feet and/or over head
QUOTE]

I use mine with and without the hoops depending on the camp and also roll it out inside the tent as it contains all our bedding and pillows when set up for longer camping.

If it is going on the roof then I would budjet for a swag bag too, keeps the rain and bugs off your swag. "The Swagman" bag rolls out as a ground sheet under your swag with flaps at the sides to put your boots under.

Cheers

I reckon if you can roll your bedding up in it then it's a swag!!!

Aido - that is very similar to mine -infact I think Darche used to make the 'High Country' brand for Aussie Disposals.

The CampEzi Rafferty dome swag is a cool looking set up - and a good price.

My set up with the fold up canvas stretcher has never left me feeling cold.

The brother inlaw has had one if these for the past twelve or so years and says it's money well spent. He's a pretty big bloke and reckons it's comfortable, has had it in pissing down rain and stayed dry, it's also had a complete caning since the day he bought it and still looks the part. That's all the info I need to make me fork out the dollars for one! That and the freebies of course!!

Looking around at the moment for a decent quality swag and would like some input from those that have used them and what style or features would be recommended.
Budgeting about $400.
So what's good and what's bad?

Have you made a choice yet?

 

[Leprechaun]

I think a tree may have interrupted the camping accommodation plans.

 

[04navstu]

Yep looked at them too.
Have you used it yet. Looks quality but how does it fare in the real world?

Yeah used it a few times now, im quite happy with it. mattress is comfy and havent had any problems with water.

[Nevyn]

Right there with you Aido! I've had a look at their biker swag in person and although it isn't ripstop canvas like this one it was still pretty good quality. I particularly like the room in the Jardine and the fact it has a foot vent! But for me I've come full circle on the swag idea and I'll prob get a small tent because the young bloke being seven now, will likely be joining me on future weekend campouts. (that's the plan this week lol)
