- This is the AOS Bushman Deluxe Apex Style Swag.
It's an Aussie made swag, really good quality,
super simple, I'm gonna tell you a little about it,
let's get started.
(upbeat music)
Hi folks, Ben from Snowys here today
with The AOS Aussie Outback Supplies Bushman Deluxe Swags.
Now these are really simple swag
I've certainly got a few different setup options
behind me here, and I wanna talk today about the features.
Now these are an Australian made swag,
the canvases is even Australian made,
and they're made to a really high standard.
So when you're investing in an AOS swag,
you're not just investing in your lifestyle
you're investing in your camping lifestyle
and potentially generations to come as well,
particularly when it comes to this Bushman Deluxe Swag here,
cause there's no polls
or anything that can really break in it,
it's just gonna keep on keeping on.
Now before we get into the details,
we'll cover off on some of the boring bits
which are weights and dimensions.
Now weights start just sort of just under 10 kilos
and go through to about 17 kilos for the Queen
that's set up behind me here now.
And dimensions vary too obviously.
The Single which is to my right here
measures 200 centimetres in length
and about 71 centimetres in width, that's for the mat.
Behind that we've got the Double,
which is 116 centimetres in width,
and that goes up to 214 centimetres in length.
Now that 214 centimetres in length carries through the rest
of the range and the King Single in front of me here,
which is that 85 centimetres in width,
and then behind me is a massive Queen size one,
that's 150 centimetres in width
with a 214 centimetres length as well.
Now the fabrics are what make these last so long.
This canvas is an Australian made, 14 ounce, write proof,
waterproof, poly-cotton canvas.
It's really durable.
It's got a certain stiffness about it
that will sort of loosen up over time,
but it's got a plane wave to it,
it's made to last a lifetime.
And if you look after this season your swag
when you first get it, look after it, store it dry,
it's just going to last you a lifetime.
These bindings around there is just a nylon binding
around the edge, you've got brass eyelets
these can be used for a pole at the front apex here,
and the bottle opener that's included at the front there,
guy rope have got their own clips
so they're really easy to add on
and take off, that's all included with your swag.
There's only one mesh panel in these swags here
and that's in underneath here.
Now this is a quite a durable mesh,
it's got almost like a rubbery feel to it.
Let me just find the zip and unzip this.
This can be zipped out of here and laid flat,
so this is your entry point to the swag
if you like,
I always claim this to be mozzie and sandfly proof.
I've not tested it against sandflies,
but in terms of durability, it certainly doesn't feel
like you're gonna be able to rip that by any means at all,
it's a really durable mesh.
I'll just touch on height while I've got this up,
because when this is zipped up,
this is what kind of depicts the maximum height
that you've got at the head end.
This ranges from about 80 centimetres
for the Queen behind me down to about 60 centimetres
for the Single to my right here.
So that varies a little bit
depending on which model you get.
Now, this zips are a number 10 continuous coil zipper
and it runs all the way around here
and it's the same zips that run right down the sides here,
so you can actually unzip this completely
right off the top here and just use it as a mat
if you like.
So you can fold this all the way back
(zipper growls)
and you've just got a sleeping surface here.
Your other alternatives
like what I've got set up behind me here,
you can just peg this middle section up
with it zipped up, like we've got on the Single here
with the apex sides done up.
The far side, I've used these eyelets
on the corners here of the top and actually
peg this off as kinda like a top
over the top of your sleeping area,
so you can actually pick this right up like this
with a few extra guy ropes and ropes.
Use another pole in there if you like to hold this up,
so you've got quite a few setup options with these swags.
Just inside the swag, not many features,
there is this kind of little pocket here
because this end of the swag is open,
that just retains the mat inside the swag,
so it doesn't disappear.
This mat is a 70 millimetre Australian foam mattress.
It's a really durable mattress,
the kind of mat that you don't need to upgrade.
Many swags you need to upgrade the mat inside of it
for it to be comfortable,
this is comfortable straight out of its packaging,
it's a really good quality foam.
And it has this removable cover on it,
which has zips that run around three sides,
so it's really easy to get this cover off and wash it.
(zipper growls)
No other features inside the swag,
that's pretty much it, nice and simple.
There is though a pocket in underneath here,
when you pack the swag up,
this is there to put your pegs and things in,
when you pack it up so you don't lose your pegs,
you've always got somewhere to store them.
Apart from that,
that's all the features of the Bushman Deluxe Swags.
Sorry, there is one more thing I wanna mention,
and that's the quality clips they've used.
We flick this around,
these straps are attached to the swag,
so you can't lose these.
And they use these really good metal clips on here,
so this clips in here really positive action
on that really easy to undo and do up.
So when you're sitting on the swag, rolling it up
and trying to get these clips done up
these work really well.
So another just top quality feature
that is added on these AOS Swags.
There's also a D-ring underneath there,
especially what you'd use that for maybe to double
a strap through if you like,
but it's there for attachment or tie-down I suppose
if you need it.
The only thing I haven't mentioned so far
is the bag that the swag comes in.
So this is included with the swag,
it's an oversize bag,
so you can easily fit the swag back inside here
and its even got enough space to fit a little bit
of bedding inside there as well.
It's just a polyester bag or a nylon bag,
so it's a synthetic, but it isn't waterproof material,
the seems aren't sealed though,
so it's gonna keep it reasonably waterproof
on top of a roof rack, it's got a bit of a flap
over the zip here, a couple of clips there
so you can put a shoulder strap on there if the like,
and most importantly it comes included
with a bottle opener on there as well.
That is pretty much all the features
of the AOS Bushmen Deluxe Swags.
Four different sizes, really simple design,
if you're after something that nothing can break on
that's gonna last generations,
grab yourself one of these guys,
because you've got a lot of setup options
and you're just not messing around at camp
setting things up.
