Watching some other youtubers crisscrossing Austrailia I saw them using a sleeping system we don't have in the USA? What is a swag and why would anybody want to be in one?
After seeing how versitile it was for them I wanted to see if it would fill the need that my Roof Top Tent wasn't able to give me. Now I think I have a new favorite tent for camping on my own. So why on earth aren't more people in the USA using these. I've still never seen one out in the wild except for my own.
I think we just haven't been exposed to them yet and most people don't really know about them. I hope I can change that.

This was recorded fall in 2021. I never got edited and uploaded because my dad went to the hospital and never returned. I'ts been looming over me as a project I needed to finish but I was amazing at making excuses to avoid it. Now that I got it out of the wat I feel like a creative roadblock has been lifted. Time to start making more videos again!

This is the tent I got:

I like it but the smaller foot area makes it just a little too small, and the aluminum hoop pole in the mid point makes it kind of a pain to get in and out of the tent. Swags with both ends the same size and no middle hoop are common in Australia but until recently not in the US. I looked at having one shipped up here but all companies charged about $250-300 in shipping, on top of the $300 cost for the swag. But 23 Zero is now selling up here at the same rates as in AUS. I'm seriously trying out their dome swags to see if it would eliminate the little issues I have with this one.

But overall... I'm a BIG FAN of how this whole system works in particular. These are a great sleep system many people in the US would really find appealing.
