Believe it or not, despite camping regularly for my entire life, I have never owned or slept in a swag. Given that I no longer have a lightweight hiking tent I set out to find a replacement and thought I would give this Wanderer Compact Tourer Swag a go. It's designed for one person and even then it's pretty snug but it fared pretty well during this overnight test in my front yard in the middle of the South Australian winter. As you will see I also enjoyed some Pinot Noir Chardonnay from Jacobs Creek Winery before turning in for the night (I can see a tradition forming here with some of these Vlog videos involving local wines)!

I won't lie, for someone who has spent their whole life being active, the last 12 months it's been less than healthy. Poor drinking and eating habits and exercise that I would describe as token at best. In the last 2 weeks I've started trying to get my act together again and riding on my Smart Trainer on Zwift used to be a big part of that and I'm trying to make it that way again. What is Zwift? Well this video is a bit of an introduction into it. It is essentially an app for cyclists and runners. But it's more than that. It's a fully immersive experience in a virtual world while you're doing it. That could mean just going for a casual ride, undertaking any number of solo challenges, taking part in exercise sessions, racing others or doing time trials against the clock. There are so many options. You just put your bike on your smart trainer and transport yourself to virtual environments such as the island of Watopia (the fictional island I used in this video) or recreations of places like New York or London (both with a fair bit of fictitious stuff thrown in mind you). To be clear, I don't advocate replacing your outdoors riding with Zwift. Not at all. It is definitely preferable to ride in the real world, but when weather or circumstances make it difficult, the convenience of Zwift is a good alternative to stay fit so you can enjoy your outdoors cycling (or running) more when you can do it. There is also some footage of me struggling on a real hill in South Australia on zero training! I can't say I enjoyed that but you can have a laugh at my expense. If you like this video let and want to see me punishing myself more on a bike (indoors or outdoors) on the Vlog, let me know.
