G'day Lyndon

I've been swaggin' it for about 40 years and just threw my swag on the ground wherever I thought a good spot. Then about ten years ago I watched a mate put his swag on a stretcher and bagged the crap out of him for being soft - he then explained to me how much easier it was to get up at 3 a.m. for that unwanted pee. Realizing I'm not getting any younger and also needed to exit my swag about 3 a.m. I bought an Oztent stretcher the exact same size as my trusty old DB swag.

Well - what a fantastic decision that was, getting in and out of my new bedding set up was so much easier and so much more comfortable as well. Now all of my travel buddies are doing the same thing !

I would recommend getting a sturdy weight rated stretcher to avoid any late night disasters lol


All the best

Been doing it for years. No sand or cat heads in the swag when rolling it. Very comfy. That looks like a darche combo.

Figured out a few years ago I was getting too old to sleep in the ground. Well, too old to get up off the ground.

Darche dome swag on a stretcher is as good as bed at home.

Cheers.

I stopped putting my swag on the ground years ago....when I first realized I was old.

Found a great ex-army stretcher at the Darwin Dump recycling years ago. Now I always lay my swag on that stretcher. Plus string a mossie net over when sleeping in the open. When down south I put the stretcher and swag in a dome tent. Part privacy part keeps the rain out.

My swag is too wide for the stretchers I have, so I’ve graduated to 2 sleeping bags for desert trips. Sleep in one and throw the other over it, like a doona, warm as, in temps down to -3° in the Simpson.
