Show us your swag! (Please)

Why??? - Google swags and you'll see lots of pictures thereof. Or go to a camping store and see the real thing!

Mine is rolled up in the end bedroom at the moment. Its a canvas wrap with a SIM and a couple of blankets or a sleeping bag, depends on what i think the weather will be. Cant send a photo, busy....

We have several of them! 2 x single AOS, 1 x double AOS and our newest one Kimberley Boab or something. See pics.

I have a John Wilsher Deluxe Swag (the big single)

I used two swags, one more traditional in design and one dome swag.

My basic swag is made by Candy Canvas, it is by far of the highest quality one could imagine. Beautifully made with premium materials throughout. It is my favorite.

My other swag is made by Bourke and Wills - the Simpson. It rolls up a little bigger then the Candy Canvas swag given its larger dome design and poles etc. Its a great swag by all means but it feels more 'commercial' / the Candy Canvas just screams hand made quality if you know what i mean.

Owned a swags for 25 years. An original Jolly Swag and a Darche dome.
They were great for over night beach fishing trips,unless it rained.
Getting out of one at 2am,to relieve yourself was a pain in the bum. I now see them as a trendy,but bulky and impractical, over priced,one man tent.

Ah too good, thanks for all the posts guys, being that I'm in the market for another swag, all this info is very helpful, thanks :)

Hi War Machine

I have posted them before for you, but here they are again, as well as our original Old Faithful. Our original double swag, was the traditional swag, no fancy fly nets or similar, just roll it out and hop into bed.

We would never unroll it before we were read for bed, but in case anything unwanted could crawl inside. After an incident down the Yorke Peninsula in January this year with a tiger snake in our camp, that was it for old faithful and the search was on for a safer swag that could be set up and left out, with the fear of any unwanted friends wanting to set up a new home.

Burke & Wills Redgum Swag with a Southern Cross Ridge Pole. Also have a Southern Cross Single Dome Swag.

Southern Cross brilliant, heaps of room but can't lie there looking out as mesh is too high.

Burke & Wills Swag brilliant, can look out when lying down but not as much room as the Southern Cross. Also didn't like having to peg it out but ridge pole sorted that.

Both really good and either one is more than adequate.

Hi Guys

Have followed thru this thread.......great stuff.
One simple request....show us your swag...and boy oh boy, the pictures say it all
WHAT A GREAT LIFE
Have a great weekend

It seems that these days a swag is more like a small tent - so really what is the difference these days between a swag and a small tent with a mattress and sleeping bag inside?

Just though I'd add, have any of you had any expirience with the new darche air swags, they use two puncture resistant air poles to hold the swag up, they do look promising.
