The humble swag has been home to the Aussie bushman for many years. Although, originally they were about as basic as a few sheets of canvas and a sleeping bag to keep you warm for life on the go. As the years ticked on, the old swag has evolved into one very comfortable and versatile bit of gear. Nowadays, their simple, no fuss design fits perfectly with a whole range of different outdoor adventures, with a heap of built in features available specifically to cater for the modern day camper. Their layout has been refined time and time again with a massive selection of swags now available in today’s market. However, with more designs to choose from now than ever before, selecting the perfect double swag can be a little difficult to say the least. Here’s what we think you should look for in a double swag to ensure it’s perfect for your needs!

The Kings Big Daddy Deluxe is one of the biggest swags on the market, making it exceptionally comfortable for most campers. In reality, the only down side to the mass amounts of space achieved is it isn’t as compact as some other options. But that’s a small trade off when you consider that no longer do you have to camp in a claustrophobic swag where you feel like you can’t breathe all night!  

This clever double swag sets up similar to most dome tents. However, being a swag means it’s also got the ability to store your sleeping bag and pillow inside, and doesn’t need a separate tent fly attached. This means you get the comfort of a full size dome tent, plus the same benefits that a swag offers as well. It truly is a massive swag that will have you doing a double-take the first time you see one in person!

There’s also an internal pouch for your wallet and keys, and there’s no shortage of room to store your cloths bag and a few nick knacks inside to keep them out of the weather as well.  Even better, there’s a 70mm thick high density foam mattress inside this swag that makes for an amazingly comfortable night’s sleep whatever the terrain you’re camped on!

Big Daddy Deluxe double swag is far and away Australia’s favourite double swag because it’s so huge, so easy to setup and so affordable. One person can easily set this swag up in about two minutes by themselves. It’s big enough to comfortably fit two adults, plus a couple of kids or dogs as well without being cramped. You can sit upright in it, it’s 100% waterproof once seasoned for the first time and the 70mm mattress is extremely comfortable even for light sleepers or those with bad backs or joints. There are full-sized entry doors on both sides of the swag, with separate canvas and flyscreen doors. Zip the canvas up in poor weather, or roll it back and just use the midge and mozzie proof flyscreen mesh doors in warm weather. This double swag’s free-standing design with centre pole means you don’t need to tie it to a tree or a vehicle – you can leave it standing at camp so you can go exploring during the day.

Using one of our Kings mesh floors to roll your Big Daddy Deluxe double swag out on, will keep your swag clean, and give you somewhere up off the dirt and sand to stand when taking off your shoes or putting them on of a morning. Means you’re not kneeling in the dirt when setting up or packing away your swag either.  Kings queen-sized self-inflating foam mattress fits perfectly inside the Big Daddy Deluxe for even more comfort if required. A pair of Kings sleeping bags or Kings premium sleeping bags in a left/right pair zip together to fit perfectly within the Big Daddy Deluxe double swag.

At the end of the day, determining the perfect swag will depend on your own specific requirements. Have a think about how often you plan to use it, what type of trips you will most likely be venturing on, and what features would really suit your style of camping. Once you’ve chosen the best design to suit your needs, have a look for the best quality swag in your price range to get the best value for money. For our money, we just don’t reckon you can beat the Kings Deluxe double swag. It’s so easy to setup, so massive and roomy inside, 100% waterproof and amazingly comfortable. There are plenty more expensive double swags out there on the market, but we genuinely don’t believe they get you camping any better than you would in the mighty Adventure Kings double swag. This truly is a swag that ticks all the right boxes, especially when you upgrade your swag with things like a mesh floor, or a heavy-duty canvas swag bag to store everything in.

Once you get yourself camping in the Big Daddy Deluxe double swag, there’s no looking back. Chances are you’ll never need to buy another one again, and you’ll no doubt have a heap of awesome camping memories under your belt down the track. More campers use and love their Kings Big Daddy double swag than any other brand of swag in Australia, and that’s why you’ll see it at more campsites than any other swag. Forget that idea of a swag being a basic, uncomfortable bit of canvas with a thin little mattress, because those days are well and truly over. When you camp in your Big Daddy Deluxe double swag, you’ll have an amazing night’s camping, night after night after night. Big Daddy double swag truly is the King of camping swags!
