Adventure kings swag

[v8r]

self inflating mattress compresses down better and easier than a regular swag one too. i use the vacuum cleaner at home to suck it right down to almost nothing or when im out, i have a 12v inflater / deflater (or just pull the mattress out, roll it up and lay on it for 5 mins with the plugs out then shove it back in). bit of extra work but so much more comfy than the usual fare

Hey Dicko, will your newish Expedia ( can't remember if that's what it's called ) self inflating mattress fit into a one man swag.

Exped Megamat 10 LXW is 77cms wide x 197cm long, so long as your swag is bigger it should fit.

Check Steves answer mate/. I tend to just chuck a sheet of canvas on the ground, lay the mattress out, blanket (usually just a sheet up here though, and pull one side of the canvas ground sheet over myself. I am now experiencing the cold weather of the Atherton tablelands. Getting down to 17 degrees so I am sleeping in a tent on a stretcher with the mattress on top of it, then blanket. The mattress is the best thing I have slept on in 20 years for bush work... So glad I bought it.

Funny thing is I started off as a youngen with a canvas and mattress. Now I have come full circle after tents, camper trailers, caravans etc. The less is better for sure. Would rather have a good mattress and canvas than a $80,000 van!!. Different strokes for different folks.

Actually it fits in my swag but mine is a large swag I had made in Alice Springs.

Sweet, thanks Steve and Dicko.

I am currently waiting to catch a flight to Brizzy to check out a camper trailer but I still think the Exped Megamat 10 or the double (if it's cheaper than 2 singles) is on the cards and a swag. Thanks for the info boys.

Nothing comes close to the Megamats 10LXW for comfort and they are a damn site easier to roll up than most others. I timed myself packing away the Malamoo Xtra tent and deflating and rolling up two Megamats the other day. 4 minutes and 40 seconds from start to finish. I wasn't particularly rushing either.
They are a seriously good bed and worth every cent.

Good luck with the camper trailer. I paid about $17,000 for mine about 6 years ago. Mate just bought a good one for $2,700!!! Bugger! They are out there cheap if you can find em..

[RUGGA]

Oh don't worry, I am hearing you alright. Thanks again. I will look up Malamoo also.

Yeah. I should start a thread regarding my needs (and not hi Jack this one) but it could be too late

I received my new Escape Single Swag last night - set it up in the lounge room. Everything seems pretty good. Can't comment too much more until I get out into the great outdoors with it.

Just got my Escape single swag.

First time I go to put it up to season it, the middle pole snaps. They are so weak. Not confident they will last the distance.

Have asked 4WD Supercentre for a new set of poles. Let's see what happens.

[Teamjet]

The poles do look a little thin - Mine have been OK so far.

[bush dweller]

you must grab and bend any swag pole from the ends when there new, anywhere else and they will snap.

Just got the compact double... :-) saw one set up in the shop cost extra $10 compared to the single on the day.
