23ZERO Dual & Bandit Swags

Swags are cool, I like 'em. Today we take a look at how easy setup is and the advantages and disadvantages of swags in general. These 23ZERO ones are made with super thick canvas with heavy duty zippers. The floor is the thickest material I've felt on any tent and is sure to last a long time. The swags allow you to hold all of your bedding inside and roll up the whole bundle to shove into a generous bag. The bag is made of the same heavy duty canvas as the swag and uses the same zippers. Let us know what you think!

Nice! Thanks for the video. Swags are part of the Aussie culture (Waltzing Matilda etc) and the easiest way to get out camping and still have a pleasant night sleep.

[@benstanway3238]

Thanks for showing the differences. After seeing this I'd probably go with the dual over the bandit as you can open the top more to look up at the stars.

[@markhowells13]

man swags have come a long way. I still have my original one i got given when i was 16. Basically a canvas envelope with a thin bit of foam in it. No poles, no overhead roof, just basically a big canvas sleeping bag. And im 41 now and i have spent hundreds of nights in it :)

[@idahomountainelk]

I love my Mountain Hatch swag! So easy and so comfortable, I had over 50 nights in it last summer. They're not currently selling them but plan to resume production.

[@srnunan4783]

Great review thanks, everything i need to know to choose.

[@outandabout_oz]

Brilliant, love my 23 Zero Dual....I have the 1100. Great to see one on an American channel! Nicely put together video, really enjoyed it. Good luck with the channel, I know how much work it is. Subscribed #996....only 4 more to go! 🇺🇸🇦🇺✌🏻

I've got an ARB Dual Swag. love it. I'm looking for a single, either the crashpad or the 23Zero will be my choice. Thanks for the video.

[@e30_jp]

Cool to see swags start to show up here. A couple years ago there was hardly anything worthwhile. Had to get my Crashpad shipped over from Australia.

[@Spiritof1876]

We think it’s great too! How do you like the Crashpad?

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Good review. FYI, these things are even better on top of a stretcher / cot.

[@stevej.6674]

I love the 3 pole design. I’ve got the 1550 outbreak, but thinking about a 900 bandit for those light weight solo trips.

[@virobeast3836]

You have the old poles for it, they have revised the poles and the new ones are awesome, they are stronger reduce sag and allow the swag to stand stronger without pegging the ends, our camping season is about to start so I will be doing a video on them soon.

[@mattwinnell6363]

Would you say the bandit is worth the extra $100? (That's the difference here in Australia)

[@pnmbain]

Keen to know that as well…

[@MrWinger1951]

Can the poles just be left in the sleeves when rolling the swag up?

[@aerojust]

Trying to figure out if the Bandit is worth the extra $$$. Maybe more headroom and walls more vertical. You say you may buy the Dual, reasons to choose it over Bandit besides $$? Thanks! awesome review

[@PopCornSheffield-ow4vm]

It looks like the Dual would be easier to get in and out of with room to sit down in the swag and swing your legs in versus either crawling into one of the smaller doors on the Bandit or sitting and tucking your knees under your chin to get through the opening.. Am I missing something? .

[@merritts3515]

How long did processing and shipping take

[@paulebbage]

great review mate. Assuming you're in the US. Where did you buy these out of interest?

[@Spiritof1876]

Thanks! We sell it here at www.Spiritof1876.com

[@LampWaters]

You think 6'4" guy would fit?

[@MoldingLegends]

Wonder how it would be in cold weather??

[@markmay184]

As good as, if not better than a tent

[@cyclemoto8744]

@@markmay184 Much better than a tent unless the tent is canvas but then there's also the question of cubic air, so unless the tent has a low height like a swag the swag is still warmer. In summer, swag is cooler if you leave the canvas flap open for airflow (just close it once the sun starts to rise to get the extra sleep in). Cheers from OZ.

[@JudahsTreeFarm]

I need to measure my cargo area in my TJ

[@jeremy8715]

Good luck, you’ll have around 30” wide and 40”ish long. The TJs just ain’t big enough. I’ve done a few camping trips with mine. Even as a solo camper. I barely had enough room.

[@LucieOvalx]

So, all in all, a swag is just a standard tent with a mattress in it

[@Lowloudandsideways]

Pretty much, how many tents do you know that can be packed away with the mattress and blanket rolled up into one, and takes 5 minutes to pitch and take down?

[@markmay184]

SBS zippers = Chinese. Great zippers, but not as good as YKK zippers (Japanese).
