Model: 8101 Swag Canvas Tent 1-Person Canvas Swag Tent w/ Sleeping Pad
Note: as of 1/28/2026 all Swag Tents now include a Tension pole in the box, no separate purchase necessary. This allows you to use the tent without guy ropes if you choose.
Born in the Australian Outback, the Kodiak Canvas Swag tent is a highly versatile, one-person, portable, sleep system. It is an advanced evolution of the traditional bedroll. Add a blanket or sleeping bag, and you have all you need to bed down. Unroll and set it up in a matter of minutes. It is six feet eight inches long and nearly three feet wide, providing a roomy sleeping space even for big guys. Use it on the ground, in the bed of a pickup, or with a compatible cot.*
Made with premium-grade, HydraShield, 100% cotton duck canvas. The tight weave and silicone finish make the canvas watertight yet breathable, minimizing condensation and mugginess. Unlike canvas tents of years past, our canvas will not wick water. Watertight and breathable, means you stay more comfortable. Aluminum alloy poles provide a sturdy structure. The floor is heavy-duty, puncture-resistant, 16 oz vinyl that keeps water out. Unzip screened windows in the head and foot for airflow. These windows have small awnings over them so they can be opened even when raining. When weather permits, roll the top cover back, and it's like sleeping under the stars. The screen mesh keeps the bugs and critters out. Included is a 2-inch thick, open-cell, polyurethane foam mattress pad. The pad has a removable flannel cover that can be washed. When it's time to move, the Swag packs up in no time - mattress pad, sleeping bag (sold separately), blankets, and all. Everything is neatly rolled and ready for the next stop. When adventure calls, grab your swag, and go.
This Aluminum twist lock tension pole is a nice add on accessory for the 8101 Swag tent. Simply insert the pins on this pole into the grommets at the top head and foot of the swag tent and extend the pole until the tent is taut. This is a useful accessory when it’s difficult to find ground to put the guy out stakes in. Ideal for use in a truck bed, or cot.
Why do you need this pole? You don't. It is optional. It gives the added convenience to make your Swag freestanding (without use of guy ropes and stakes). It will also make the frame a little stiffer. This pole will fold up and roll up in the swag for easy storage.
