Goodluck with your adventures and your projects, thanks for watching

Excellent information. I feel like I’ve had a conversation about swags from someone who’s lived in one. Really helpful. Thanks mate
No worries glad you enjoyed it. I will have another review coming out shortly comparing the new version of the ARB swag. Kind regards, Geoff
Your story about the rain convinced me. I'm going to buy one of the new Series 2 swags. They aren't cheap , but the quality is evident. Buy once, cry once. Very good review. Thank you.
G'day Graeme. They are a great swag. My swag is 7 years old and I would have spent at lease 3 of those out bush with me and it is still going strong. Cheers Geoff
Thanks. Great review. I was out at ARB this morning looking at this swag and said that I'd think about it. Its certainly well designed, strong stitching and the addition of the window at the feet zone in the new version of this swag must help help air circulation. The mattress was super comfy. I was thinking about a crashpad instead, but now I'll go back out to ARB and get myself the single swag. My husband will sleep inside our caravan and I'll sleep in the swag outside. He even suggested that because I have so much trouble sleeping inside (van or house) that I should think about setting it up in our courtyard and sleeping outside. Good tip on the boots (shoes) in the bag.
Awesome review thank you
No worries Cooper 250, glad you enjoyed it. Regards Geoff
Looks like a great swag Thanks for the review
No worries Pittwater Mowing. Differently works well if you out bush for long period of time. Cheers Geoff
hi there..just subbed..im in orkney scotland and i was looking for a swag , i came upon this arb swag from a 4x4 company here in the uk...ive not bought one yet until i watched a few tube vids on it..they are 400 british pounds here...but youve convinced me..looks a great bit of kit..thanks..will continue now to watch more of your videos..cheers..mick in orkney...
They are great swag, yes there not cheap but they ;last. Enjoy. Regards Geoff
Let's be honest.. its really a tent.
I've never had or slept in a swag before. I've usually used single man lightweight hiking tents, hoochie tarps, or the full Taj Mahal multi-person tents. A couple of weeks ago a friend gifted me their ARB Skydome Touring Swag, exactly like the one in this video. Earlier this week I finally set it up in the backyard, and yes, it took less than 5 minutes. Very easy and simple design. Anyway, I thought I'd get into the swag to check out the pockets and other internal features. So I'm in there lying down, looking up at the sky and trees, and bugger me, I fell asleep ! I was out cold for at least 15 minutes; geez that mattress is awesome ! Anyway, thanks for the video review. I appreciate the tips and info. I'll be using the swag in anger this coming weekend, camping for 4 days down in the Southern Highlands of NSW, so it will certainly be a good test of it's ability to deal with cold. Cheers.
Great to hear mate. Best of luck with your adventures with the swag. Great piece of kit. Cheers Geoff
Great in-depth review! Was this filmed in the Dryandra Woodland by any chance? :)
Many thanks Chris, glad you found the review interesting. I was filmed in the Great Western Woodlands, in Western Australia. Cheers Geoff
@@seriouslyseriesaustralia Nice! That area reminds me of the Dryandra Woodland, near Williams WA. I'll be sure to check that out.
Good tip about boots inside swag! You never know what creatures going to enter them or rain. Also good tip about skinny swag = no good for cold places like winter in Victoria or Tasmania! We dont want coffin!
Not much fun having wet feet to start the day
No doubt its a great swag but you can get other swags that are just as good for half the price but if you've got plenty of dosh by all means buy an ARB
Never used a swag, small tent yes. I also think they look so bulky of top of 4WDs but yours looks almost 1/2 the diameter. Might have another look at them.
The art of rolling a swag. I usually take my pillow and sleeping bag out, which helps. Regards Geoff
How much light does it let in compared to a dark green swag? Also I would’ve thought smaller mummy style swags with less air space to heat would keep you warmer 🤔
Hi there it does let much light in at all and heat wise it works fine. Cheers Geoff
@@seriouslyseriesaustralia sorry was there a typo above - does or does not let in a lot of light? Thx.
Let’s be honest, we all know what movies he watches on the laptop. Haha
