    How does it compared to the king's brand

    • torface on 13/02/2024 - 17:28

      I own the single and double, both get a good work out and I haven't had any issues so far. Great price!

      Don't buy a kings. They leak like a sieve and will refuse warranty.

    • Ozyow on 14/02/2024 - 09:19

      I had one of these for years till the pole broke. I visited BCF twice over 6 months to see if I could buy a replacement pole but at these times they were not available to buy and unlikely to be in the future. I disposed of the swag and bought a Kings King Single swag which I put on a stretcher and it has been waterproof so far.

        Heavy only when compared to something entirely different.

        My ride on mower is heavier than my push mower.

          First link was this one when I started to have a look to compare - https://www.oztent.com.au/products/uls-1-ultra-light-single-… - under 3kg for less than the RRP of this deal. So I'm not claiming to be a frickin swag expert, but I fail to see how this is 'something entirely different'.

          • henno on 13/02/2024 - 20:40

            @Fancydancer: That is specifically designed for motorbike camping and doesn't, for instance, include a mattress. You'd have to add that to the cost (and weight) as well.

            The RRP of this deal is also complete bullshit.

          • GhostofB on 14/02/2024 - 09:15

            @Fancydancer: Is a motorbike entirely different to a car? The OzTent is 210gsm canvas, while the Wanderer is 450gsm canvas. More than twice as thick. Plus the Wanderer has a larger internal area. And a mattress.

            The weight is normal for a heavy duty swag. Of course if you google "ultra lightweight swag" you're going to find something lighter…

      • lancesta on 13/02/2024 - 20:09

        I thought that at first about a swag, but they're not for hiking with they're very much a toss in the car tent.

        Very different to a family tent too.

        • GhostofB on 14/02/2024 - 09:41

          Most of the people I know with swags treat them like a "toss in the back of the ute" tent. You don't even have to pack them up when you're done camping, just take the poles out and throw the whole shebang, mattress and bedding still inside, onto the tray and off you go. They're less convenient for car camping, but still a great option with plenty of benefits. I've slept in my swag down to -3C and been toasty warm inside, heavy canvas insulates surprisingly well without turning into a steam room.

    70mm mattress is a good edition as most basic versions of a swag have 50mm mattress.

      I'm seriously considering it as my room is hot af… And landlord doesn't want us to use aircon. Appears to me that sleeping in the yard is cheaper than other cooling solutions..

        Tell your landlord to go (profanity) themselves and turn the aircon on.

          With the high rental cost these days, I think you should be grateful to have a place to stay…

          The last thing you want is for the landlord to kick you out and ended up paying higher cost for an A/C issue….

            @BigLeviathan: valid point, he may be renting a granny flat hence why he isnt paying for his own usage

            There is a whole rabbit hole to go down on how to cool your place cheap, but none of it compares to the ease of an AC unit

            Shade cloth north and west facing does a pretty good job of buffering direct sunlight against a wall or window that is poorly insulated

            Fans set up as cross flow or exit only. Wife wondered why I set up fans the way I did and in her mind (with no engineering background) I was doing it wrong. This argument went on for years until I found a vid to back up my "unfounded" claims https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L2ef1CP-yw

            Then there is the whole rabbit hole in itself of making swamp coolers, or ice brick coolers. You need an esky, some frozen 3L milk jugs with salt water, some hose, an aquarium pump or similar and a heat exchanger/radiator/PC radiator or 2. A fan with decent pressure (40cm +) . This guy has several different designs he has tested https://www.youtube.com/@desertsun02/videos He also does cheap heating tests too. The crux is you need to freeze the ice bricks a couple of days before hand as salt in water freezes lower then just water and of course, water doesnt stay frozen forever. Perhaps his land lord will make some room in his freezer to help out!

            Lastly there is a peltier electric coolers, one side is cold, the other is hot. Low power use, reverse it for heat, google is your friend

      I'm genuinely thinking doing this and living out of my car might actually be paradise compared to paying current rental prices. Can see why others are doing it, tent city forming under highway Bris in Logan has about 5-6 tents and a bunch of vans and motorhomes always parked up now.

              @lancesta: Yeah I've done it once before temporarily in Melbourne before Qld opened it's borders back up because I didn't want to sign another lease and (profanity) around with transferring lease and borders close again. The reason why I didn't have a house was because I transferred lease and borders closed up within a week of announcing them open lmao what a mess. My only other alternative was spend $300+ a night on a hotel room. Don't think the misso would be too keen on the life but it kind of suited me as I'm active an always out and about anyway.

      During the winter I'm sure he would definitely be happy to carry it around everywhere. There's an elderly lady near me who carries around 2x granny trolleys that are always packed with stuff, usually groceries or tonnes of books and catches public transport everywhere. I helped her across the road with them one time and I was struggling with it but she somehow managed and did so with a smile.

      Yes ,
      single swags can feel pretty claustrophobic ,
      Especially if you’re a guy with shoulders ,
      Wouldn’t recommend a single unless you’re tiny
      or have to strap to a bike ,
      and have no choice about width .
