New backpack shelter
Thought some of you might be interested in this idea for a backpack swag/shelter.
I am toying with the idea of buying one to see what it is like since I have a few dollars to spare. If it is really bad I will just resell it on Ebay.
I hate the color but if they make it in better colors it might be useful as an emergency item - well... if you aren't too big that is, especially for the kids. It seems a bit squishy, especially if you have to add a couple of blankets.
I dunno, just have a weather proof sleeping bag and tie it to your backpack... Does the same thing, but probably better.

Survival is not about surviving AGAINST the nature. It's about surviving WITH the nature.
You can't go in to nature, nature is not a place or an object. Nature just is. You are living it.
Here is a video of a swag bag. It is not a term we here in the States are familiar with.
The one you linked to said it was 4.7 kg. That is a little on the heavy side for my tastes. It also didn't give a temperature rating. It isn't too hard to get a tent, sleeping bag, and large framed backpack around the 4 kg range. Although they listed it for backpacking, I think it would be good for car camping.

Knowledge without experience is just information
there are two types of wild food enthusiasts,
one picks for enjoyment of adding something to a meal,
and the second is the person who lives mostly on ( wild ) edibles

I wonder how many Aussie homeless can afford a $200.oo sleeping swag bag?
Looks like a nice outfit, but spendy.
Wherefore, let us be thankful that there are still thousands of cool, green nooks beside crystal springs, where the weary soul may hide for a time, away from debts, duns and deviltries, and a while commune with nature in her undress. ~ George W. “Nessmuk” Sears ~
From the website, it looks like either they use some of the proceeds to buy shelters for the homeless, or they let you spend 2X the price and essentially you buy one for the homeless, or both.
