Hammock v. Tent
McTaggart:
Are swags a thing outside of Australia?
My sister's is very similar to this one and was about $200 Australian.
It's heavy because it's got a decent foam mattress built in. It's comfortable unless you're silly tall and it's dead simple to set up and pack up.
Zingoleb:
See yeah, I'm 6'5, those would suck so hard for me.
A Wet Helmet:
Assuming the weather is anticipated to be okay, I'm 100% in the hammock camp.
Eff a tent. Sleep under the stars! I used to do this regularly, and should perhaps start doing it again. I have spent more nights laying on the ground than I can even count. Hammocks are lovely, and far more comfortable than that rock in your back that is only mildly annoying when you lay down but has grown to the size of a sharp basketball by 3 am. Though I've never spent an entire night in one, for naps hammocks rule.

- Australia is the home of scary animals;
- Bears are the scariest of animals;
- There are no bears in Australia;
- Ergo, bears are make-believe;
- But a tent.
Really though if you ever go camping in summer in Tasmania and it doesn't stop raining for days on end then you'll understand why it can be vitally important to have enough space and shelter to cook a meal in the vestibule of a tent.
Coward:
Tent.
When it comes to the great outdoors, you can't afford to buy cheap.
