Darche Nebula 1550 Swag

[@jeffseach5572]

We have this hybrid tent/swag, Have had for over 2 years now. Love it, 2 mods we did, 1, We sewed small loops in the middle of the end canvas doors, (not really doors, They are too small for that) because the end doors are not under the main fly you can not have them unzipped or you get water inside when it rains, Sewing small loops lets you tie a small guy rope to the loop and peg it out, Unzip the double zips across the bottom and a small way up the sides, It keeps the water out but still ventilates the swag. "Darche", If you are reading this you can call them "Jeff loops" on future models, They are brilliant.. :-) All swags need ventilation. 2, The attached straps for wrapping the whole swag back up are too short to leave too much inside the swag, With our 2 zip together winter sleeping bags and a thermal blanket the straps barely have enough length to go through the D rings. We cut the straps back a bit and then got longer straps sewn on, Cutting the straps shorter then sewing the extra straps on stops the stitching going through and jamming in the D rings. And at that size its a squeeze to get back in the carry bag, but doable. Also, the end with the small lift up corner flaps is your head end, It also has the small equipment pockets there in handy reach for phones, keys etc, Its also why the small lantern hook is at that end. Just reach up and turn off a small lantern. These things are great, With the fly on, the vents open, awning out one side (with small extendable poles), you can lay in there in full sun and it is so cool, Not like a normal swag where you will cook. good for a nice afternoon nana nap. With small extendable poles you can set up the fly awning at different heights, or drop down one end to help water runoff. We have laid in this swag watching terrific thunder storms so comfortable in the knowledge that we will not get wet at all, Both end doors pegged out, The main side door under the awning fully rolled up, Pure magic. And when you get in our out you can sit up easily to get undressed/ dressed because of the extra head room.. Completely recommend this bad boy..

Thanks for your handy upgrade tips, Jeff. I wonder how many "Jeff Loops" we'll see in campsites around Oz now? Happy Camping! ~ Ben

Hi Ben. Will the fly sheet on the nebula fit on the nebula +

[@SnowysOutdoors]

We've tried this out instore @ARCHIE and unfortunately it doesnt fit. The frame work on the Nebula + is a fair bit longer, so the fly is a good foot or so short of any anchor or tension points. ~ Lauren
