Kodiak Canvas 1-Person Canvas Swag Tent with Sleeping Pad, Olive, One Size

Product Information

Canvas swags are a relatively newconceptto the UK and, hopefully, this guide will give you more of an idea of what you can expect from this famous well proven icon of the great outdoors. Every night, temps dipped from near 90 down to the high 50s, and condensation was everywhere. The Swag was damp and covered with moisture. However, the inside of the shell was totally dry — and warm. A camping swag is a lightweight bedroll that can be carried across long distances. Traditionally used by Australian agricultural workers, swags have since become a popular companion for campers. Campers often buy swags so they can set up a mattress just about anywhere and in next to no time. Whether you want a free standing swag with a king single mattress or a 2 person dome swag with more space, we’re confident that you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for within our range. At other times, there’s no deliberation at all – the best mode is apparent. Ultimately, it comes down to the tent and swag features, relative to the destination, duration, and prevailing weather. And of course, the mode of transport is critical. There are also times when we just feel like taking a swag or tent, and it’s great to have the choice. When To Take A Tent

Outback Swags Pioneer Tent

It is an evolution of the days of Waltzing Matilda and the Australian 'Jolly Swagman' travelling from farm to farm looking for work and sleeping by the billabong under thecoolibahtree in his simple bedroll - essentially his blanket in which all his belongings were kept. Made of heavy-duty waterproof canvas, the Swag provides an all-in-one sleeper that’s about as easy to set up as it is to pronounce. Unroll the conical tent with footprint and mattress included, insert three half-circle poles and two stakes, and presto! You’re ready for bed. Mattresses: Nearly all swags come with a mattress as standard, but that's not to say you can't take your comfort levels up a notch by swapping it out with a premium sleeping mat. Not only will this provide better cushioning and support, but because these mats are often made up of a high-density foam layer, a PVC layer and a layer of air (when inflated) they will help to keep you insulated against the cold ground, increasing your comfort levels significantly. The new styles offer an alternative for people seeking the simplicity of camping in a swag but with more than just a few flaps of canvas to protect them from the night air.Many swags now come with even more poles than your average hiking tent whilst others just boast a single awning pole to keep the canvas off your face. The most popular design, however, is the tunnel or hoop style swag, consisting of two or three flexible poles. They also offer multiple entry points with door covers that double as awnings, as well as mesh panels for ventilation.

The fabric of your swag tent should be bolstered with added water-proofing measures. A resistance rating of at least 1000mm is deemed sufficient to combat any sudden inclement weather. We have taken inspiration from Australian Canvas Swags to design our modern Explorer Canvas Swag Sleeping Tent. Our Canvas Swag explorer tents are 7 feet long and 4 feet wide, they are smart, nifty, and perfect for lone adventurers.

Final Words On Swags Versus Tents

Double Swags – Couples or friends can get a comfortable double swag with enough space for both of them. We’ve got multiple options that come with king size foam mattresses, full zip down entrances, excellent ventilation and other great features. To find out which best camping tent is right for you, we’ve put together some important factors to consider: The Gear & Go Team have been testing the prototype as often as we could throughout this year and all of us found it comfortable and easy to use. All campers are different when it comes to prioritising key camping practicalities and comforts. I have several swag and tent models, and sometimes, it’s a tough choice – do I take the swag or the tent? The great thing about modern swag and small tent designs is that there’s a model from either that will cover your practical requirements and comfort demands.

Their easy set-up is a key feature, yet they can be a little bulky and heavy. There are two basic swag designs, traditional, and dome which include the new poleless (no tent poles) air swag ideal for swift set-ups. Modern traditional swags offer double or single options and can be lightweight or heavy-duty, often made from strong ripstop canvas. Tarps: Adding a tarp shelter to your swag camping setup will not only give you peace of mind if you get caught in a downpour, but it also enables you to create an extended undercover area for cooking, storing your belongings and just taking it easy. The ideal choice is high quality cotton or polycotton canvas which is durable and designed to be naturally water-resistant. The flooring should be made with a combination of PVC and polyester, which dries faster and is more durable than cotton. It’s also a good idea to look for fabric that is UV treated, so you’re protected from the sun’s harsh rays during hotter months. The Swag is really burly. The 12-oz. waterproof canvas shell is similar to material used in wall tents, and should take several years of abuse and foul weather without a compromise. For those who are uncomfortable on the ground, stretcher swags/tents and rooftop tents are ideal. Why Use A Swag Vs A Tent and Vice Versa?

The Swag has a large openings on both sides of the tent, with outer door and inner mesh anti-bug lining, allowing for plenty of room to get in and out without struggling through a small doorway. There are large storm flaps and vents located at the top and bottom, giving protection and ventilation whatever the weather. For one, swags provide much better insulation than tents (because of the hardy materials they're made from) which will keep you warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Also, the foam mattress included with most swags forms an effective barrier against the cold ground, helping to retain your body heat while you sleep.
