Historically the traditional outdoor bedding in Australia was the "Swag", a sausage shaped roll used by "Swagmen", the equivalent to the Engish tramp and American Hobo.

It consisted of a canvas tent fly rolled with blankets and clothing and is possibly the descendent of the cavalryman's saddlekit. Although heavier and bulkier than a bivvy or a dome tent, they are simpler to use and more durable, comfortable and convenient. Hence their traditional use in Australia by stockmen and 4WD adventure tour operators, for camel and horse treks, and by hunters and fishermen.
