Swag 1 Person Canvas Tent

Makes packing a vehicle to overland much easier - it goes on the roof, isn't heavy and the set up / take down takes 3-4 minutes. It held to ground in 50 MPH winds (Vantage WA). Leaving the end vents open keeps the interior from getting stuffy. Great buy!

Great car camping/overlanding tent definitely worth the money

I love how great this tent is built. Zipper’s are great. Nice to put all sleeping gear in one bag. Already have a couple friends that have bought one to!

Great Product. Great Price point

I set this tent up in under 5 minutes and have already used it. The foam mat is comfortable and it’s surprisingly roomy! Once properly staked and tied out with provided guy lines, I had no problem in high winds and even accumulating snow. I did get the tension rod for additional support, and that made it even more sturdy during the high winds. The quality is impeccable. Really impressed with this product.

This is my first Canvas tent. This particular tent was very easy to set up. I went through the seasoning process as per the instructions and had it set up outside for quite a while. I left it out in some heavy rain during one weekend and was rather impressed that the inside stayed dry after the rain had subsided! I look forward to purchasing one of their larger tents in the future!

I recently picked this up so I didn’t have to haul my flex blow around every time I wanted to camp. Sometimes I like to take my dog (Australian Shepherd) and go in the back country set something up quick and take it down quick. That’s exactly what this tent is all about, I went up to Flagstaff, AZ and the temperature got down to 39 degrees and typical with my flex bow I would bring a buddy heater but with the swag i didn’t get into my sleeping bag until about 2 AM. Everything about kodiak is premium the canvas keeps you warm and the mattress it comes with is amazing I never felt uncomfortable the entire night. There was enough too for a medium sized dog. Things I would like to see in the future -the middle pole set I would love to see on the outside of the tent. That could help with mesh from sagging down and it would make it way easier to set up - I would like to see the middle extension pole included in the set, I am currently still waiting for kodiak to get some in stock - You have to come out with a double swag in the future, my wife and I would love to just take something like that out and honestly I would have just bought a double swag instead. Overall great tent for ease of use, comfortable and lightweight.

I love my swag, kept me warm and dry during an all night high country rain shower. The next night the temps dipped into the high 20’s, I was comfortable in my 20 degree sleeping bag, no condensation either night. Quick and easy to setup and takedown. It’s bulky (all swags are, I knew this already) but goes nicely on the roof rack. All in all works great for me!

Swags aren’t readily available in the United States. These are more common in Australia but this version by Kodiak Canvas is up to par. I can honestly say that I love sleeping outdoors in my Kodiak Canvas swag. I’ve spent about 40 nights in it so far and I really do love sleeping in this thing. If you are prone to claustrophobia, it may not be for you, but I wouldn’t rule it out either. I can get claustrophobic but it hasn’t been an issue for me as I usually camp in the desert during fair weather so I have the canvas outer layer pulled back to see the stars. I have slept with the canvas fully closed on a number of occasions due to rain showers. This hasn’t been an issue unless it is also hot and stifling with no airflow. It’s fairly quick to set up and even quicker to take down. The center pole is held in place by 3 Velcro tabs on my version and these don’t hold very well. These should be upgraded with a design change. I would also like to see more interior hooks, loops, & pockets for stashing and hanging up small items like headlamps. The mattress is comfortable if you are a stomach or back sleeper, but side sleepers like me need more padding. I’d like a 3” mattress option with this. I put foam camp pads under the mattress and it helps. One thing I’ve also noticed is how well you blend into the environment in this type of tent. I routinely have all sorts of wildlife moving within a few feet of my swag because they don’t know anyone or anything is inside. This swag is large enough for a full size sleeping bag, so it is plenty roomy for one. The mesh keeps out everything including gnats. Get the optional center tension pole if you plan on camping anywhere where you can’t drive stakes into the ground. If you’re on sand, you’ll need sand stakes. If you’re on rock, you can tie off to anything or use the tension pole. So far the canvas and poles are holding up well and I would replace it right away if something happened to my swag. Oh, and the carry bag isn’t big enough to store the swag with a rolled up sleeping bag inside. That’s how I like to use this swag. I keep a sleeping bag in it so I can roll everything up together, but it ends up being too big for the carry bag provided.
