Our Story

WHAT IS A SWAGMAN?

The term originates from Australia and describes someone who traveled by foot from farm to farm seeking work, carrying all of their belongings in a swag. This vision of the original swagman is what our founders had in mind when they started Swagman.

But our founders were in search of adventure - not work - and their swag included bikes, kayaks, or anything else they could use to explore the beautiful nature surrounding them in British Columbia, Canada.
