With trip to beachport coming up I was in need of some solo sleeping facilities...
add to that im a zook driving tight wad
14 dollar 8x10 tarp
4 dollar gaffer tape
will be fitting it out with my exped dm7 mat and which ever bag suits the forcast
Fold and tape

And again

Then double fold the bottom and tape

Then flip it over so the double layer is on the bottom

Forgot to mention, being made of silver tarp, this coupled with my tin foil hat, the aliens wont be ble to get to me

[watermouse]

Should be right with that.
I heard the mozzies that breed in the lagoons around there are vegetarian

[henno]

I like the idea - plus the cost is right there with my tight-arse zook budget - but sadly up here in QLD this will end up as a $20 sauna more than a $20 swag. Although the mozzies would probably carry you away and cool you down.

I run a mozzie net

[Jezza86]

in my mind Squids= kids.

definatly not fiting 19 kids in there.

dunno what kinda weather you go camping in but looks like it will be a touch on the cold side.

looks way more durable & waterproof than the doona that one of the lads ran one year... was a wet trip to.

I would have just saved up another 20 for this

You might get alot of mildew/condensate on the inside of that canvas even if the days are warm.

You've got the duct tape part sorted, but where's the cable ties?

If I wanted to use a tent I would take my msr hubba hubba
I like to ruff it now and then to proove to myself that all this shyte we buy is unnecessary

I used to just lay my bag on the tarp and roll myself up in it like a pig in a blanket, that worked fine, although the leaches at the watto's liked it too

The cable ties come later, once he's crashed out & we cable tie him in. We'll take him for a long drive down a short road.

Gus, looks like Pezz just supplied our empties bag!

[shakes]

condensation city.

I like it

[pezz]

Ended up just running it as a tarp over a rope, mozzie net under it as the campsite supplies trees to tie off too...

Should just buy a proper body bag. Surely that would freak a few people out.

I used to use a tarp as a swag, but you're getting a bit fancy with the tape 'n stuff. Just get one that is big enough to go over + 2 layers under, then turn the end under and shove your shoes down into the corners to hold them put. Works just dandy.

I bought a oztrail swag from Kmart for $39 the other day!
Its a bit small but works good. Daughter will be pleased
