Catios (outdoor cat enclosures) provide a nice balance of indoor and outdoor living without the risk. But if you don’t have yard space or are renting, a permanent structure in the backyard or even your balcony may not be possible. If you have calm cats who are not shredders, the SansBug screen tent provides a […]
Where there’s a river, there are bugs, and where there are bugs you need a bug tent. How many of us are ready to take a week off work to paddle down the Missouri River? Not your typical Huckleberry Finn float trip, but paddling from one end of Missouri to the other in America’s longest continuous […]
Which do you prefer: kissing bug, assassin bug or vampire bug? All three actually refer to the same bug; the triatomine which tends to bite humans on the face and lips while they are sleeping! As if the motionless daddy long legs in the corner of the tent was not enough to give you the […]

Folding the SansBug is not intuitive. The paper instruction manual is only supplementary. The demo video on YouTube is crucial without which […]
The crazy stubborn winter is finally behind us and as we look forward to summer, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention is reminding us to be careful and prevent bites. The number of reported cases of disease from mosquito, tick and flea bites have tripled in the US over the last 13 years. This […]
As summer camp draws closer, we’ve compiled some reviews from parents and scout leaders about the SansBug. Happy bite-free camping! […]
The pic was sent by Tony from Key West. Most of us are dreaming of going somewhere warm for the next few months to escape from winter, while Tony is planning to build the world’s first underwater hotel! Here’s part of an email from him: I have purchased two of the pop-ups. Another can be […]
Rooftop tents are not cheap… and after you just got your Jeep, there’s usually not much left. Here’s a great hack for a budget rooftop tent which saves not only money but time! I love overlanding, but hate packing up afterwards. Sound familiar? Here’s an email from Steve: This idea came to me a little […]
