Aussie Swag supplier?

[dp0001]

I've had a few conversations in Australian camping shops over the years and they've always put me off bringing back a swag for the UK. The main advantages given by people that use them: tradition, animal-proof and can take abuse, chuck in the back of a Ute, chuck on the floor, job's a good'en. No pegging or faffing. Disadvantages, heavier, not completely waterproof in constant rain, dark inside. So not the best solution for our soggy island unfortunately.

They're evolving too, from a simple canvas body bag to something more like a hooped bivi with plastic groundsheets, bug nets sewn in etc.

I have a one man Swag purchased from CampCanvas but have not had a chance to use it yet. I was pleased with a bell tent I had bought from them last year. It worked out about £115 including delivery from Belgium (no affiliations etc). In my experience they produce high quality gear, although strictly for car camping. It's fairly hefty with the mattress and is set out as to be for four-season use.

I know that http://www.thestormkettleshop.com used to stock them. They may have some stock left in a random cupboard somewhere.
