Well swaggers, I have been field with work for 2 weeks and thought I would try out the Oztent bunker that I just bought from Drifta and give a field tested evaluation for any swaggers looking to buy one.
I got mine from Drifta as I previously stated, and before taking it on this trip, I had only set it up in my back yard. I found Drifta to be the cheapest by far at $369.
Just to confirm, I did not buy it just for work, I have bought the Bunker for camping as well with SWMBO and our daughter.
Ok so.....
Pro's:
1. Folds up to be about the same size as a standard single swag with bows to support the roof.
2. There is enough room in the bag to put the waterproof cover and a self inflating mattress. (I got one just in case the stretcher was to hard).
3. The whole Bunker is a stretcher, mozzie dome and waterproof cover all in one. No need for individual components.
4. The sides can be rolled up and secured to allow the breeze through.
5. There is three entry points, either side or the bed head.
Con's:
1. During rain, water can pool on the outer cover at the feet end. This can be stopped by securing the tie down cord at the end of the Bunker so that it is secured tightly.
2. Weight may be an issue for some. It is around the weight of a carton of beer.
Any further info required, just ask.
