Ronny, You should design your own and have it made. Test it for 6 months then market it. You could make some money to help pay for the trips.

Hi Ronny Dahl, I was just thinking this morning if/when you might be getting the young apprentice/s involved in these unbiased videos. :) They do a great job. (And so do you as a dad). Swags are 'out of my league' for several reasons, but should be ok for most I guess. My 1st 'decent' 4x4 sojourn was way back in 1981, when I travelled 'clockwise' from Sydney to Darwin. For that I used one of those square 4/5-man centre-pole tents. Brilliant to set up. Off the roofrack & up in less than five minutes. Untie from roofrack, hurl, roll out, assemble top tube square, bang bang bang bang, unzip-walk-in-with-telescopic-pole, extend pole, walk out rezip. Done :) Last trip 2 3/4 months back to Darwin on The Ghan & camping in my Subaru Outback. 11,600 kms of which there were over 600 kms corrugated dirt. :)

Great review Ronny, I love my Darche Ridgedome King Single. Four poles but I roll it up with three folded up but still in place. I bought it from Snowys (cheaper than Darche direct) and bought an oversized bag for it. Sits on my roof rack and was used extensively on a recent 120 day trip and still in perfect condition.

I have this swag in the double! I swear by it!!! I've owned 3 swags and this one is hands down the best! I like the fact that once it's set up, you can move it easily because it's freestanding. Im also claustrophobic, so this swag is perfect for me 😂😂😂 great review mate 👌

@gaj5701 5 жыл бұрын

Swags are probably the only thing on earth that defy the generally accepted laws of physics as they always seem to be bigger when packed away. Whilst I can see the appeal for a relatively good climate like here in Oz, you'd throw them in the bin anywhere else in the world you get poor weather regularly as you simply can't keep the outside outside. As for the cost, ARB are generally overpriced playing on the name for almost every single product. The only exceptions are the few things they actually do better than others like the compressors & bull bars, otherwise, there's equal quality products out there that aren't so pricey. Nice honest review Ronny, keep them coming 👍

Hey Ronny, I had the single arb swag for a few years now and discovered that the easyest way to get rid of the air wen folding it is leaving the main opening partially open and taking the time to direct all the air out then close it back. it does take a couple of minutes but then rolling it up is really easy.. Cheers for the review!

Ronny i bought a blackwolf ryebunk after your review and could not be happier. Quality product with two pole construction!!!! Camping by myself swag goes with me and more people i move up to a tent. Would love to see some more reviews on the blackwolf bushranger swag or turbo tents. Btw i have nothing to do with blackwolf just love their products! Esp the rybunk have used over 30 times and always the first to get the swag up compared to others with the traditional dome swag. Awesome content keep the vids going ronny.

I’ve got two ARB singles for my son and I. Sure they have 5 poles but the last 2 are super quick and don’t have any tension mechanisms that may break. I didn’t season our swags before the first trip and we copped heaps of rain and frost. Not a drop of water got in either of them. I reckon they are great and the mattress is super comfy. They have actually been better than I was expecting and I look forward to using them. So much so that the camper trailer sometimes get overlooked for the simplicity and comfort these swags provide.

Build quality is second to none. But if budget doesn’t allow there are plenty of good cheaper options too. Best choice is a true freestanding swag, two end hoops and a cross pole in the middle.

To me a 3person 2sec F&B tent from Decathlon is a better choice. You can take a nap in the afternoon, the F&B keep it cool enough and no light inside once you close it. Much smaller size when folded. Can choose what mattress you want. After first 2-3 times you learn how to fold it really quick. Price is 1/2. This swag is big and heavy, if is raining you will get some rain inside when entering in it, like Ronny said no sleeping when the sun is up.

I have a double with a stretcher and I freaking love it!!! In the States, we don't have quite as many options as you so... I've had it in the desert when it was 103 F at 1 am and with the huge side windows open and a fan clipped above my head, it wasn't too bad. I've been in the cold as well and it is a lot of air to warm up, but with a good sleeping bag, I was comfortable. I do have to say that compared to a nylon tent, this thing is AWESOME!! It doesn't let as much light in as nylon so I'm able to sleep in for a little while anyway. It is huge when rolled up, but I find that it fits in the back of my Jeep perfectly with half the back seat folded down. I've spent many a night in a nylon tent and I'd have to say that I wouldn't trade this swag for anything! Well, maybe for a Conqueror trailer, but that's for another discussion. LOL!!

@topdeckdog 5 жыл бұрын

I can help as i've lived in the States and Aus and grew up with both swags and tents. I sleep WAAAAAAAAY better in swags. The canvas does incredible things for your wellbeing. They're cozy like you're in bed at home. However i despise huge swags and would NEVER buy this beast. What you described is a hiking setup, not a 4x4 setup. My swag only needs one pole so is ready to go within 1 min. When you spend a lot of time in the bush (as in weeks/months moving daily) this is HUGE for your morale. If i was in one spot for a long time i'd want a tent purely for space. Both have a purpose. Also Aussie bush is FAR harsher on your gear than AK. Sticks, tree roots, rocks, dust trashes tents. Puffy jackets ain't got no business down here either. Sad but true. We don't do straight tree trunks and soft pine needles down here. We do pokie twisted devil branches designed to hurt you ;) God i love AK...

Great review. I have been considering getting a new swag to replace my 20+ year old Southern Cross (double swag). But from what I have seen, swag design seems to have got way too complex, which defeats the purpose of the original swag concept and its advantage over a tent. I have one pole, it is set up in under a minute and I have an unobstructed view of the night sky. Change is not always progress.

I want something for 2 adults that is relatively quick and easy to set up but not too expensive (realistic compromise). Does anyone use something along these lines? By the look of it, the ARB double swag in the vid doesn't satisfy those requirements (too small for 2 as Ronny mentioned). Thanks in advance!

@pantoqwerty 5 жыл бұрын

I'd also be interested in this. Not necessarily a recommendation (which is bolder) but more "what is the least worst option you have used personally or know of within your group" for 1. Single traveller who'd potentially use a stretcher like the Darche 100 XL as a raised platform for the swag (900 or 1100 for a bit of room?), and 2. For the adult travelling with a child, as you have done yourself. Darche seems to offer a lot of choice but I notice a fair few of the "double" sized swags either have slightly restricted openings or have a large opening but are prone to sagging sides leading to the centre being the only practical sleeping position. Kings Big Daddy, Darche Dusk to Dawn fit into this latter category.

Tents definitely have their place. But, you can get a swag that will last through years of frequent travel and abuse for $200. The main advantage of a swag is the setup time, and the longevity. Swags can be set up in 2 - 3 minutes and will last through much more abuse than a tent. I have found tents to be too delicate for me.

You’re right here in the United States we don’t understand why you use such a heavy tent I do plenty of camping my tent Half the weight half the cost half the size why don’t you try a lighter sleep system

I have only spent a few nights in a swag compared to weeks in a tent. Tent folds to nothing but it holds nothing. Swag folds big no one wants to join you and it houses all the sleeping gear.

Good review Ronny (loved how the kids were involved) BUT - you didn't say anything about wet weather performance. Tub floor looks good, but does it stay dry? Any condensation problems?

The clips to hold it together are on the small end, so you wouldn't be able to clip it up

Ah hah, thanks Paul, . . . however, that being the issue, I think I'd go to a saddlery and get a couple of leather stirrup straps, roll it the other way, and use them to strap it, . . . . . less stress me thinks, . . . and possibly a tighter roll !!. Cheers.

For me I feel if your going to review something you need to have bought it with your own hard earned cash, only then are your going to know if the item is really worth it.

realistically a 4 man tent is designed 2-3 men with kits stored inside 2 man tents designed 1.5 men or 2 kids.. the swag ir likely deg\signed to be rolled to be rolled from small to large end or may be a design flaw in manufacture damn @$700 price point that should be 7 foot long and open flap to the outside I wonder whether this was designed to have 1 or more tents connected together in a modular setup...
