The SansBug pop up camping tent is the quickest you’ve ever pitched.  Simply slide off the elastic strap and toss up – instant tent!  The built-in poles pop open into shape so there’s no assembly required!  This also means the tent is freestanding so you don’t need to tie it or support it to stay up.  Plus, unlike mosquito nets, the SansBug has noseeum netting so it even stops biting midges and bed bugs.  No-see-um?  Well, you’ll still feel the bite!

Reviews

America’s legends in the outdoor world have endorsed the SansBug!

Cliff Jacobson, wilderness expert and America’s most published outdoors author:

At well under 100 dollars, these pop up tents are a bargain. They are not toys – with the well-designed tarp in place, properly staked and guyed, they should withstand a long, heavy rain. I am impressed by the full coverage fly: it stakes right to the ground – no short “cap fly” for wind to get under. I think these tents, combined with the full fly will be as stormproof and bug-proof as tents that cost much more. Another plus, are the heavy-duty elastic stake loops, which keep things tight when the fly expands due to rain. In all, I think you have an excellent product here, albeit one designed for casual camping – namely, the kind of camping most people, and Scouts do.

 J. Wayne Fears, master outdoorsman and nationally-acclaimed outdoors writer:

I just returned from a trip into a swampy lowland to do wildlife photography. I was accompanied by master outdoorsman Medrick “Sgt. Pop” Northrop. The area is noted for mosquitoes, gnats and ticks. To say we were most pleased with the protection/comfort the SansBug pop up shelters gave us would be an understatement. The SansBug is lightweight, quick and easy to set up, has comfortable dimensions and is well thought-out so that it can be used in conjunction with a cot, on a boat deck or, as we did, on the ground. Insect protection, especially in mosquito country, is a must for health reasons as well as comfort and the SansBug does the job. Both Medrick and I enjoyed testing the SansBug and look forward to using them on a planned canoe trip into the Okefenokee Swamp next year where camping is done on wooden platforms.

And here is the assessment of a Yale professor who subjected the SansBug to rigorous testing under different conditions!  Plus, below are some of the thousands of 5-star reviews from Amazon:

Pop up Camping Tents are more Versatile than Mosquito Nets

Traveling remote?  The SansBug works better than a regular mosquito net since you don’t need to hunt for a spot to suspend it.  A regular mosquito net also needs to be tucked under the mattress and it can be dislodged during the night.  Read how the SansBug has helped NGOs and non-profits to sleep on the job without getting malaria!

Reached the scout summer camp near midnight?  No problem.  You don’t need to spend an hour to set up the troop tent in the dark.  Your sleeping arrangements will be ready with a toss of your SansBug screen tent.  It pops open faster than you can say hakuna matata!

Using mosquito netting draped over poles in a canvas tent?  The mosquitoes can still come in through the gaps in the floorboards or under the netting.  The SansBug pop up tent has an attached floor so it’s totally enclosed to protect you from flying critters, creepy crawlies or slithering snakes.

Claustrophobic?  The SansBug screen tent allows you to sit up unlike the army issued bed tents in which you can only lie down.  It’s also more than 3 feet wide so you can comfortably sleep without fear of touching the sides and being bit through the mesh.  Seen and read: 100 times better than standard US army issue!  It’s also been used by the Canadian military medical personnel in their response to the Ebola outbreak.

RV camping?  You don’t need to set up the large screen house.  Pop open the SansBug 3-person screen tent to accommodate about 4 people for a meal or a game of cards.

Looking for a cheap rooftop tent so you can go overlanding?  How about a boat tent so you can stargaze on the deck?

Can’t afford a catio or don’t have the space for it?  A pop up screen tent works better than a catio, it’s portable and budget friendly!
