Alton x Scotty’s Gone Walkabout

The Walkabout Swag was co-designed by Scott Williams, a modern-day icon of the Aussie bush. Known for his popular Youtube Channel, Scotty’s Gone Walkabout, Scotty has devoted his life to creating immersive films of his wild adventures across Australia and beyond. Leaning on Scotty’s real-world expertise, we have created a lightweight, compact 1-person solo shelter that can handle the extremes of the Australian bush.

Four-Season Functionality

Built with four season functionality in mind, the Walkabout Swag can handle everything from rain to subfreezing temperatures to oppressive humidity. As well as providing greater structural integrity, the Walkabout Swag’s three-pole architecture ensures optimal airflow through the shelter. In inclement weather, this updated design feature promotes effective water runoff in heavy rain.

Committed to Quality

The Walkabout Swag you see here today is the final result of nearly three years of product development. The Alton team spent thousands of hours testing and refining the design – but we couldn’t have done any of it without you, our community of customers, adventurers and outdoor professionals. Drawing on your insights, we’ve perfected every aspect of our Walkabout Swag to make it the best it can be.

Engineered for Tough Conditions

We’re proud to be the outdoor brand Australia goes to for quality, durability and performance. Constructed with premium materials and backed by a Lifetime Warranty*, Alton’s Walkabout Swag is built for serious adventurers who expect nothing less than the best from their gear. Weighing just 1.3kg and packing down smaller than a 2L drink bottle, it is the ultimate 1-person shelter for wilderness expeditions where durability and reliability are non-negotiable.
