Mark, who accompanied his son to Owasippe Scout Reservation, sent this pic of a SansBug 3-person in a platform tent: “The canvas tent was basically used as a rain cover for the SansBug. I did not stake the left side of the tent so I could have room to get into the tent from the side… The SansBug was easy to setup and take down. I really enjoy your product.” The SansBug 1-person mosquito tent can be placed on a cot within a canvas tent.
Owasippe Scout Reservation, America’s oldest Scout camp has been in service since 1911 and is owned and operated by the Pathway to Adventure Council. Owasippe, one of the largest Scout camps, is a 4,800 acre preserve of lush forests, streams and hiking trails. Located about 50 miles northwest of Grand Rapids, MI and 200 miles from Chicago, it is a favorite for it’s awe-inspiring beauty.
2012 has been a hot summer with many temperature records broken all over the country. In fact, this year is the hottest on record in the US, even beating records set during the Dust Bowl. The very hot summer in collaboration with the mild winter and early spring seems to have contributed to a spike in reported cases of West Nile virus. Even thought the year is not over, 2012 already has the highest number of cases of WNV disease reported to the CDC since the virus was first detected in the US in 1999.
All the more reason to equip your Scout with mosquito netting. The SansBug mosquito tent provides an easy and convenient solution by providing protection at the release of an elastic strap. Don’t take a chance… send your Scout into the wilderness fully equipped!
