Wet swags

My swag seems to get wet on the inside anyway, due to me sleeping warm. If it's a good canvas, it shouldn't be a huge problem for a couple, or a few days. What I do find, is that I look for a sleeping bag that has a waterproof outer, not like total waterproof, 'cause it still has to breathe.
If I can arrive at camp early in the afternoon, I simply pull my sleeping bag out of the swag, and unzip it, and lay it over the doors of the car to air out. The swag I use has 2 hoops, so it stays all open like, and airs out quite fine. If I can air out for an hour in the afternoon sun, whilst attending to chores, all is good.
If I can't air out, and the weather is crappy, you get damp, that's all. After say.... 3 - 4 days, you seriously need to have the whole thing aired out, or you may do damage. If it's a little damp, it's okay.... as long as you're warm in your sleeping bag.
I guess it goes without further saying.... don't use a down sleeping bag.

Sleep tight.... and warm....

havnt had a problem yet. My swag usually gets rolled up damp and still get a dry sleep for no detrimental effect on the swag or sleeping gear. Goes without saying dont pack it away when home damp. I have the 2 hoop style and always leave the end window open. Also try using a groundsheet that is big enough to fold over the swag as it can be flicked over the swag as extra protection if Hughie really brings it down

Yeh we always use a tarp off the side of the truck to keep the dew and rain off. If in bush country camp under small trees which also keep the dew off .
Always leave the window open and have just the screen over me in a 2 hoop job, limits the condensation.
