If you camp and tour in really harsh conditions, then chances are you need swag that has the extra oomph to withstand the elements. The OZtrail Ridgeback Discovery is made from extra tough canvas and a heavyweight base so it’s perfect for rugged adventures.
A little different from the other OZtrail swags, this model is made from 400 gsm Ripstop SatProof 600+ canvas which provides extra durability. It also has a puncture resistant 520gsm PVC vinyl bucket floor which will protect the floor from rough terrain.
The dome design features two Durallium 7001 alloy poles which provide generous interior space, and it also has a centre ridge pole which makes the Ridgeback self-supporting and easy to pitch. The protective windows allow you to still ventilate when the weather isn’t ideal, and the no-see-um mesh door will allow for airflow while keeping insects out.
You’ll be comfy thanks to the 5cm high-density open cell foam mattress, and you can keep your keys, phone and headtorch easy to access in the interior pockets on this swag. If you’re after an extra durable swag for outback touring and camping expeditions, then the Ridgeback Discovery from OZtrail is just what you need.

Does this swag have fully zipped up doors at the ends of the swag on both the head and feet areas?
Milan - Hughesdale(5 years ago)
G'day Milan,
We've just set one up and there are zip trackers on both the canvas and mesh layers of the foot and the head end. So you can completely seal it, have it partially open for airflow, and you could even open it up to pop your shoes outside, or climb out the end if you really needed to!

Camping off the ground1 answer
Are these swags free standing so i can pitch them on a stretcher?
Milan - Highesdale(5 years ago)
G'day Milan,
Yeah mate, these will stand up on their own using the included ridge pole so you'll be fine to set it up on your stretcher.

Can these be used without the poles1 answer
Can these be used without the poles for use inside a tent? I.e as a traditional swag.
Jodie - Petrie(5 years ago)
G'day Jodie,
You can certainly use the Ridgeback swag without the poles. If you still wanted to hold the fabric off your face you could use some cord to tie the head end up to a pole or tie off point inside the tent in place of the swag pole.

Do you have to use the center ridge pole?1 answer
Do you have to use the ridge pole to set it up or can you just peg it out?
Morgan Baddeley - Melbourne(5 years ago)
G'day Morgan,
Yes, you can set up the Ridgeback Discovery without the ridge pole and just peg it out if you wanted.

Supply of poles1 answer
Are the dome poles and ridge pole included? In the description it reads that they are, but staff tip indicates they are not
Michael - Perth (6 years ago)
G'day Michael,
Sorry for the confusion with our staff tip. The Oztrail Ridgeback Discovery King Single Swag comes with the dome & ridge poles. It doesn't come with poles for the awning though, if you want to use the side flap as an awning then you'd need to grab some awning poles separately.
