How do you set up your swag?

Ian
Get rid of the sleeping bags. We use a qeensize doona with sheets. If it gets hot you still have the sheet. Only problem is getting away from the other half if she gets friskie.
Cheers

Ian when we use our swags we use a sleeping bag as a quilt and the kids in there swags use sleeping bags as a bag.

All the best

If its over 30c sleep on top.
20c-30c sleep inside the swag.
10c-20c use a sleeping bag inside the swag.
Below 10c wear heavy cloths and zip everything up.

We use coleman sleeping bags which zips into a double size, or 2 singles, and they completely unzip to make a doona as well.They are flannolette material, so no cold nylon getting into bed either.

We have a 2" foam matress in the swag, with a double thermorest as well, ussually takes 4-5 breathes per side on the thermorest to make the bed as comfy as any bed Ive ever slept in.

We also use a home made fitted sheet on the thermorest for when the sleeping bag is a doona each.

Which reminds me.......while on warmth etc......coupla years back we discovered that sleeping bags wear out - our zip together units looked great (we look after them) but we nearly perished in a frost. Told a bloke at a camping store about it and he assured us that the fill had compressed through age and the would no longer insulate properly. Dead right he was. Bought a couple of new ones (about $90 each) and what a difference - damn near cook in them now, on the frostiest of nights ! Great lesson learned - and we got to upsize the bags for a bit more room.

Ian BEE, i use my sleeping bag as a doona( dont a bag in a bag to crouded ) works well survived Cradle Mountain -9c. Bloody cold.
