Thanks for the review I have been looking for a example of a swag for larger guys in a single swag and set up I think you hit the nail on the head with that set up cheers

[@exploremodeaus]

Hi everyone, Just wanted to share an update on durability as I’ve had this setup for a couple of years now. For the swag, I’ve now broken 2 of the hoop poles, both times it was the small hoop at the feet end. Unsure if it’s stress on bending on setup or pack up, or it’s it’s because I roll the pole bag up in the swag, I’ve noticed it both times when packing the swag up. Both time ARB have replaced cheaply. They lasted about a year each. The stretcher has stopped collapsing easily, 2 of the legs get caught and don’t fold inside, they need a bit of physical help to get inside the outer legs and I’ve replaced a bolt (Bunnings jobby) I’ll try to do a follow up vid of the issues. Although more expensive, All in all still far superior to any of the other swags or stretchers I’ve seen or tried but felt best to share in case you are researching for setups. Keep exploring peeps - Go’on then!!

Best review for this swag, just purchased this setup! :D

[@zacs8654]

Great Swag, its good ARB actually think about design, rather than just copying what everyone else is doing

[@turtletrackstravels]

Great review, thanks for sharing 😍😍

[@homeguy4]

I've got the ARB Dual Swag... love it. I'm looking to get a single to put a stretcher. Thanks for the video.

[@exploremodeaus]

Nice, definitely recommend this set up for a single! Let us know how you find it.

[@frankfox8784]

Fell asleep during the epic introduction speech

[@exploremodeaus]

Glad we could help you sleep my friend. Suggest trying to watch the intro in your swag after a hard day of exploring. 😊

[@richardsunday1612]

I have four very different tents BUT THIS looks amazing

[@exploremodeaus]

It’s a great swag, still going strong 💪🏽

[@richardsunday1612]

@@exploremodeaus enough for two?

[@exploremodeaus]

@@richardsunday1612 this one is a single, but they do make a double swag version of this

I Have the Series 2 ARB skydome Swag it's really really Good !! Comfortable With the thick Mattress and Inside The Hat or Drink holder or Phone holder inside the Skydome Swag the only Complaint is the black connecting Pipes Are Sometimes Hard to Connect ?? Could Be my Swag With These Black Connecting Pipes a Once off But The ARB skydome Swag is really Good !!

[@ShelleyRaskin]

You forgot to mention the boot bag! I have the same combo but a different sleeping bag, it’s a damn fine product, my first swag and feel no compulsion to replace it.

[@exploremodeaus]

Wow 😮 are you talking about the attachment that comes with the stretcher?? I honestly didn’t even know what that was lol. I’ve just got a inflatable mattress to go under the foam mattress, it’s a bit more narrow so it sits down in the groove of the stretcher and stops the sagging when you lay in it, makes the foam mattress level to sleep and and adds to the comfort. Works a treat. 👍🏻

[@waynerobinson7143]

There’s not enough talk about this set up , it really is ahead of the rest in stability ,comfort , and ease of pack up and set up. Haven’t had mine long enough for the durability test but the stretchers have survived many sleep overs 😬, I’m sure others have had this set up longer than I’ve had with out complaint , well at least from most people ,there is always one or two pussies out there 😂

[@simonsharp9162]

Mine's seasoned like hell and leaks like the Titanic.

[@matthewfox1045]

Great review, do they make one that suits men? I need to be able to fold out a setup between having heaps of drinks and falling down……. Looked like the kind of thing that would need effort. Great review, can’t find the emoji for a unicorn so leaving a scary pumpkin picture 🎃

[@kisbushcraftdownunder]

Have you had any problems with the poles every one of mine split within two weeks even the two short one that separates the three hoops ?(mine is the double)

[@exploremodeaus]

Just recently on the last trip I noticed the pole at the foot end has cracked and split, havn’t been in to get it replaced yet.

[@kisbushcraftdownunder]

@@exploremodeaus some guys have had three sets ARB didn't back mine up so I had some fibreglass ones made

[@kisbushcraftdownunder]

@@exploremodeaus kzbin.info/www/bejne/npvEeqengt-FbLc I think these will be a permanent fix regards Mike

[@ashleyk6802]

Does it come seam sealed or will you need to season it?

[@RoninVincent]

You need to season it.

[@exploremodeaus]

I haven’t seasoned mine, but I do mostly have it under a 270 awning or gazebo, few times I’ve had it in the rain it has held up.

[@mikebatterham4970]

How much

[@exploremodeaus]

About $1k for stretcher, swag and sleeping bag when I bought it.

[@knottymatt]

Velcro's disappointing
