We love swags<\/a><\/strong> here at 4WD Supacentre<\/a><\/strong>. We love camping<\/a><\/strong> in swags<\/a><\/strong>, in hot weather and cold. There\u2019s
\nnothing like rolling out your swag<\/a><\/strong> at a perfect little campsite and waking up in the morning, opening the
\nzip and realizing it\u2019s a beautiful day outside. We love camping<\/a><\/strong> in swags<\/a><\/strong> because it\u2019s about as Aussie as it
\ngets, and we love it because inside your swag<\/a><\/strong> you can make it so dark that you could sleep til noon.
\nWhich is exactly what\u2019s needed when you\u2019ve had a few too many world-problem- solving refreshments
\nthe night before\u2026<\/p>\n

However, we know that you can\u2019t just go camping<\/a><\/strong> at the drop of a hat, as much as we\u2019d all like to.
\nSometimes the real world gets in the way, but just because you can\u2019t get out bush doesn\u2019t mean you
\ncan\u2019t use your swag<\/a><\/strong> often. Here\u2019s six ways to get extra usage out of your swag<\/a><\/strong> without ever having to
\nfind a campsite.<\/p>\n

1. \u2018EMERGENCY\u2019 SLEEPOVERS AT A MATES HOUSE
\nWe\u2019ve all been there. You drop over to a mate\u2019s place for a couple of quiet ones after a long day
\nat work, and all of a sudden you realise that you\u2019ve had a couple too many and you\u2019re in no
\nstate to drive home. Your mate doesn\u2019t have a spare bed and the couch has been taken over by
\nhis overly-affectionate Great Dane who doesn\u2019t know the meaning of \u2018no\u2019. If you have your swag<\/a><\/strong>
\nin the back of your 4WD, then a good comfy night\u2019s sleep is always on hand. Roll your swag<\/a><\/strong> out
\nin the living room, peg it out against the TV wall unit and the coffee table and you\u2019re set to
\nsnooze. Works great in the shed too when that quick starter motor swap turns into an all-night
\nepic because someone (we\u2019re looking at you, Barry) dropped a bolt down into the bellhousing\u2026<\/p>\n

2. WHEN UNEXPECTED GUESTS DROP OVER
\nA swag<\/a><\/strong> is just as good when the roles are reversed too. Sometimes a mate or the mother-in- law
\nwill unexpectedly drop over and want to crash for the night. The spare room\u2019s probably piled
\nthree feet high with boxes and junk and you can\u2019t be bothered digging it all out just to clear out
\na bed right? Roll out your swag<\/a><\/strong> once again for instant bedding for unexpected guests, but maybe
\nconsider putting a tarp down if the mother-in- law is claiming the swag<\/a><\/strong> for the night. Don\u2019t want
\nthat three tonnes of makeup getting all over your swag mattress\u2026<\/p>\n

3. INSTANT CUBBY HOUSE FOR THE KIDS
\nSchool holidays, rainy days, Frozen repeats for the seven millionth time. Sounds like a lot of
\nfun\u2026 if you\u2019re six. For the rest of us who need a bit of peace and quiet, a swag<\/a><\/strong> can be a savior.
\nIt\u2019s an instant fortress for the kids to play in, especially if you have a big double swag<\/a><\/strong> and they
\ncan all fit in there. As an added bonus, if they still won\u2019t shut up you can just roll the swag<\/a><\/strong> back
\nup with them in it. Kidding \u2013 don\u2019t do this. Well, don\u2019t do it more than once, at least\u2026<\/p>\n

4. A SOLUTION FOR BEING IN THE DOGHOUSE
\nThis one goes somewhat hand-in- hand with Usage # 1. After an impromptu sleepover at your
\nmates\u2019 place, you get home to find you\u2019d conveniently forgotten about dinner with the in-laws
\nthe night before. Righto, no little spoon for you tonight, you\u2019re in the doghouse. Which is lucky,
\nbecause if you have your swag<\/a><\/strong>, the doghouse is a bloody comfortable place to sleep. Geez this
\nswag<\/a><\/strong> has been a good buy eh?<\/p>\n

5. FRIDAY NIGHT BACKYARD CAMPING\u2026 JUST BECAUSE!
\nOur final left-of- centre use for your swag<\/a><\/strong> is also our favourite, because we just love sleeping in
\nour swags<\/a><\/strong>. Friday night, no work the next day, you\u2019ve got the barbie<\/a><\/strong> going and the firepit<\/a><\/strong> is
\ncrackling too. Perfect opportunity to roll out your swag in the backyard and get a proper fix of<\/p>\n

camping<\/a><\/strong> without having to spend a cent on fuel. Doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re camping<\/a><\/strong> out the back
\nor up in Cape York, camping<\/a><\/strong> is camping<\/a><\/strong> right? And when you\u2019ve got your swag<\/a><\/strong> on hand, camping<\/a><\/strong>
\nis whenever you want it to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
