The dusk to dawn is a great swag. Sounds like sleeping on a cloud with the extra mattress and stretcher. It’s one of those things if it only takes you a little longer to set it up but your comfortable why not do it and get a great nights sleep 💤

Thanks mate really appreciate that and glad you found it useful

Haha your welcome, but get cracking you got a big list to do

Thanks for watching Mike, yeah they are super quick setup and don’t take up a whole lot of room. Cheers brother

Thanks mate appreciate the feedback. Bloody good swag the rainger’s hey. The mattress is amazing. Definitely on the heavy side but if you can handle that to get it on the roof it’s a really good choice 👍

Awesome to hear you're happy with the RT2!

Thanks mate, will have to have a look at those swags don’t know to much about them cheers for pointing them out always good hearing of other great swags on the market

Cheers mate not long now till we head off should have some other insane locations to and from the desert too 🐫

Thanks mate, there is so many swags out there hey. Hadn’t seen that mega before that looks unreal. That shelf idea is brilliant. Might have to invest in that for a tryout. Kulkyne do make a great swag and their customer service is fantastic

Thanks for tuning in from over there mate. Hope you enjoy our other adventures also

Haven’t heard of kodiak but those other two you can’t go wrong both really good swags and been well tested over here in oz

@@4x4brothers Thanks! They look great!

23 Zero seem to make awesome swags & are my pick for design & quality control.

@@stevej.6674 they do make a good swag mate. Very hard to split them and darche

They make a great quality swag!

Cheers mate tried our best to keep it informative and unbiased as we could to help other make a decision Yeah bit of mesh for safety 😂

Cheers mate

Unreal swag and great quality isn’t it. Stretchers are a good investment especially muddy or sandy ground

Super easy setup isn’t it. Does the airvolution come with a pump or is that extra?

@@4x4brothers yes, it comes with a pump included with a pressure valve so you don’t over inflate it. I was tired of replacing broken poles.

@@paulvictor9368 they are a grouse idea we Really like it

Thanks mate. Hope it was helpful

There are so many options out there hey and what suits one person definitely may not suit another Be good to hear your thoughts after a bit of use with the dometic we did like the the look of that onw

Sounds like an info- commercial!😅😅😅 Good writeup!✔️✔️✔️

Absolutely mate you have hit the nail on the head even for a family can always run extra swags and again still keeps all that bedding out of the car and packed up in the swag leaving essentially more room inside the vehicle for everything else

I have condensation in my swag. But I agree I love mine man and everyone hates my swag because it's not a tent. I remember getting battered by the wind at 6k feet in utah and the same place my swag is solid and will stick with tbh

@@jonathanpalmer228​​⁠definitely the way to go mate and easy to get out xof the wind with them too. Roof top tents are great also but a lot of limitations on them also

@4x4brothers for sure I love mine! Best sleep I have ever gotten and recommended it to multiple people

@@jonathanpalmer228happy camper mate 👌

Gday mate cheers for tuning in from across the ditch. We try keep these sort of comparisons to being informative and unbiased as possible so they can help showcase what might work for different people. We would love to get our hands on a few of the air swags they look very interesting

@@4x4brothers hahahaha is almost good night for me mate!! I’m just in the opposite side of the world from you. Yeah these comparison videos you make are excellent for helping people like to see differences and make a better idea which swag could fit better the needs. That’s why I would like to watch the comparison I mentioned before mate!! Love your style guys, very personal touch. You’re so lucky to have such a giant and amazing country to explore in freedom. Here in Europe the gobal warming religion is making more more difficult the 4wheeling. Have a nice day!

@@RogerCampillo​​⁠we are definitely lucky with what we have here that’s for sure. Haven’t seen to much wheeling over in Europe might have to go down the KZfaq rabbit hole and see what you guys get up to. Leave it with us and we will see what other swags we can get our hands on.

@@4x4brothers in Europe there are several countries in which off-roading of any kind is forbidden. In Austria even the mountain biking is forbidden. Some countries off-roading is allowed but with many exceptions. Some other countries it still allowed but not everywhere The politics are approving crazy laws “to stop the climate change” and causing a lot of problems to many economical sectors. Even the farmers are now collapsing the main roads in a lot of countries demanding to stop this. For us driving on the beach is a crime that can carry huge legal problems. When we watch you guys driving on these giant and amazing beaches we feel as we are living in the wrong place. Enjoy guys, enjoy now that you can. Probably this will arrive also to you.

Hope it was helpful mate

Thanks mate, they definitely are a lot of swag’s getting bigger and bigger. One main advantage with the swag would be incorporated bedding. And even to run a self inflating mattress with a tent would be similar in size

The main difference is style and canvas vs synthetic/polyester fabric.

Fair question @gridoo. I am down South in the NSW Snowy region; a swag is the only way to stay warm in cold conditions. With heavy canvas and a small amount of air space, even in snow a swag with a good mattress will keep you nice and warm all night long, even helping you exceed your bag/doona rating. The other issue we deal with down here is super strong winds. With such a small profile a swag will just sit there with no issues at all, whereas a tent will cop a flogging in similar conditions, something I’m sure most tent campers can relate to.

Hahahaha! Kings or nuffin…

I don’t think you will be laughing when it rains & you’ve got a fancy internal water feature in your Big Daddy.

@stevej.6674 you will always pay for what you get; but 3 years in and she has been in all conditions and still going strong ... definitely surprised me.

@@twiggys4x4touring well, in that case, it’s surprised me too.....must be an older rare batch that was better made. My nephew wanted to buy one & I told him to have a quick look at the reviews on productreview. All one star reviews with a lot saying they’d give no stars if they could.

Haha na unfortunately my old place was along side a hwy and was a busy day with wind the wrong direction 😂

Yeah agreed they can be a bit of a extra bit of work. Did showcase that 23zero in our previous swag video and really did like that. Our old man uses that swag

It’s a big compromise isn’t it mate there is a few of them out with flys now be perfect for the warmer weather

Thanks mate. The pegs are ezy anchors

They are a bloody good swag hey

Not any time soon mate have got more than enough swags can’t see us buying any more sorry. Haven’t even heard much about it so can’t help you there either bud

Might have caught us on a cm/mm stuff up 😂

Pwarrr that’s a tough one The Darche is pretty good especially with the poles The rainger mattress is insanely comfortable just heavy The 23zero in the previous gives a lot of room with the shape And the kulkyne air pole is such a fast setup Would be great to have a hybrid of all 4 but with any of these you can’t go wrong

@@4x4brothers thanks for the response, I was thinking the same thing, so many good features from each different swag but none of them seem to be quite perfect

@@ryanlynch163 yeah that’s it always a little compromise and depends how you plan to use it with the style of trips you do

That is a great swag the 23zero. We actually showcased that swag in the first one of these videos we did comparing a bunch of other models

Thanks mate. Yeah unfortunately had someone start a Tractor next door and property was on a bush road Have since invested in a better mic so hopefully helps improve that

Haven’t heard of them mate will have to have a google search

They are definitely a swag we would like to have a look at we just don’t know anyone with one or really head much about them . They do look like a great product

In a way your pretty right mate. Definitely make’s camping comfortable though

​@@4x4brothersyup, I have had a king single 3 hoop dome swag for 25yrs now. For the first 5yrs, I didnt see any other dome swag. I had to constantly explain to fellow campers how dark it was inside for great sleep-ins. Nothing like sun in your face in a flat swag.

@@nordic5490 as far as comfort and the ability to get changed in there and not have canvas on your face they are brilliant What brand did you buy 25 years ago?

Brook Swags - aka John Flavel Upholstery @ Crystal Brook SA. I bought the 3 hoop 1200mm dome swag, with optional drop over the top fly net, and canvas tube bag, early 1997. This sway is incredibly tough, as it is made from truck canvas tarpaulin material. Even the bag is inpenetrable. I spent several 100s of nights in this swag, maybe 300, as a surveyor all over central Oz and every where in the NT, and other trips away. This sway is still going but insect windows need replacing now. John Flavel replaced the fibre glass poles for free when 'someone' may have fell on it one night. You cannot fauly the customer service. I have gone though a recent phase of various instant tents (due to gf claiming that the ol Brook swag is too small), but Im jack of it. Packing up is too slow for me, and ... all the separate crappola to take when tenting... Funny thing is, back in 1997 - 2000 I didnt see a single other dome swag - all flat back then, and the Brook swag caused a sensation @ every camp site. My fellow campers were all in flat swags, and thought I was some sort of princess wus. I didnt care, I woke up refreshed, they woke up freezing. I also used an electric blanket back in 1997... much to the ire of my fellow freezing collegues. So, Im back in the market for a 1400 swag, with max room inside - so the gf can sit up. But... the choce is not clear. I liked the 23zero outbreak 1500 for the ability of having the top open, but still covered by the fly - for max ventillation, but it is very bulky when rolled up, and I always have all my bedding inside.

@@nordic5490 house history behind your swag mate. Sounds like you have had some epic adventures doing the surveying and I’m sure you have some amazing less known sites to head away to. Sounds like a great product you have. The 23zero swags are amazing still so are the darche a lot of their swags very similar. Someone’s playing copycat 🤫😂 Either of them two brands you will be very happy with

That’s a tough one to answer. Have used a heap of swags over the year but we are under 6ft so never taken to much notice of the length as it’s never effected us. I reckon find the swag he likes and then check out the dimensions and hopefully he fits

Im only 6,4 and i can say the carsh pad and rainger are abit short for me iv got both. Iv tried one of the darche swags and it was just way to short wasnt even an option. Crash pad was probably the best but had the worst mattress iv ever had in a swag

@@williamvantilburg4563 definitely makes it a lot harder trying to find a swag being on the taller side hey. They definitely are all majority catered to about the 6ft mark

Yeah still both really good swags tho especially if you pair them with the 70mm single mattress from darche

Hi there, we offer one of the longest doubles one the market at Set up - length 215cm, width 150cm, height 80cm

Absolutely but unfortunately that was where Dave’s old property was so it was much easier to do it there than transport all the swags

I watch your mom on film - it’s nasty but I keep watching

Beg the differ mate ours have had a ton of use

Used my kings more then 10 times still going strong. I use it enough im going to put more money into a swag and buy a better one.

Thanks for watching mate, yes your right, Mic’s are the next investment.
