1. Traditional Vs Dome<\/h2>\n

Traditional Swags<\/strong> are basically two layers of canvas with a mattress in between. They’re light in weight, compact when rolled up, easy to carry and transport, and are usually lower priced than dome swags.<\/p>\n

Dome Swags, <\/strong>due to their shape and height (60-70cm high), provide plenty of room inside while keeping the top canvas layer off your face. They offer easy side and\/or head access, are generally well ventilated, and will keep insects, vermin, and snakes out.<\/p>\n

In recent years too, the debate surrounding the ‘swent<\/a>‘ – a sleeping solution that boasts features of both a swag and a tent – has proven to be never-ending. For more on this, tune into Ben and Lauren’s conversation on the Snowys Camping Show:<\/strong><\/p>\n
