Looking for some advice. Going camping in winter in vic. Got my eye on the 23Zero swag https://www.snowys.com.au/dual-swag-1100mm Or maybe the Coleman swagger darkroom https://www.snowys.com.au/instant-swagger-3p-darkroom Wondering if anyone’s got any experience or opinions? I’ve got a decent self inflating mat so I wouldn’t need to purchase that. I prefer the idea of the swag for longevity, but the tent for when the little fellas old enough to join me.

I’m assuming you aren’t hiking too far into the bush and then setting camp? so weight isn’t a consideration.

You generally want a larger shelter for snow/cold weather conditions due to storage of additional clothing required for the climate.

If you are indeed camping in true snow conditions then a more rugged rating and steeper “roof” are required against snow and wind.

also have something to piss in during the night because it sucks getting out of your bag at night haha.

Haha yeah I’ll bring an empty bottle! Nah we’re just car camping. And I’ll have my trust gazebo with me.
