The SansBug is going places. Many churches are opting for the pop up mosquito nets for mission trips. The nets are freestanding so they don’t have to worry about placing them in a spot where they could be suspended. Just unzip, slide out and toss up!
“They worked great!” First Baptist of Fayetteville, TN sent a group of 44 to Uganda for 9 days and Sherry was kind enough to share this pic with us. Not only would it have taken a while to suspend 44 regular mosquito nets from those steel beams, but looking at that floor, tucking the nets under the mattress or sleeping bag would probably have frayed the material. Furthermore, the nets can become dislodged from under the sleeping bag during the night exposing you to mosquitoes. In a situation like this, the SansBug freestanding net is the best alternative to regular mosquito nets, hands down.
And here are pics from a group that went to Kenya.
And another from Daniel Kim of ODPC in Herndon, VA:
“We bought 30 SansBug (mosquito net) tents for our church’s missions trip to The Gambia (West Africa) last year. They were perfect for us because we were looking for light and durable tents with good mosquito netting that wouldn’t cost us a small fortune. I would definitely recommend these tents to anyone!”
“Here is a picture of our team sleeping in an open courtyard at our base camp. We were given rooms to sleep in but it was just too hot so most of us decided to take our sleeping pads and SansBug tents outside. It was great to sleep in the open air without the worry of getting bitten by mosquitoes. The best thing we love about these tents was the fact that they were so travel friendly. While in The Gambia we visited several different locations to do our work and there were times where we had to stay the night away from our base camp. Because we had our SansBug travel tents we were able to setup and breakdown quickly. This was very important to us because we knew that we didn’t have much time in the morning before we started our day’s work.”
And here are some pics from Central and South America.
They worked wonderfully. Everyone was really glad they had them!
Keith Sherrell, Minister of Worship
First Baptist Church of Blanchard, LA sent a group of 16 to Belize. Keith sent this picture of the tents. Notice that they placed the SansBugs on air mattresses.
Emily from South Carolina sent the above pic and email. “I have attached a few pictures of our mosquito tents but there was no way to get a picture of all of them at one time. Our group of 28 stayed in two different homes in Nicaragua and we had your tents spread out all over the place. I believe we had about 16-18 tents with us. They were great to have and kept everything from bugs to chickens away from us while sleeping. We had to collapse the the tents everyday and they were so easy to fold up and put away! They were definitely worth buying and I won’t be going on any trip like this without it!”
Matt from Ohio sent this one of 2-person size. “Internet here (Haiti) is too slow to send all pictures. Here is one picture from St. Damien hospital’s international volunteers’ tent where I have slept quite comfortably without mosquitoes for the last 3 weeks.”
And James from Florida has this to say: “Our last trip was to Haiti. We are now in Costa Rica using the tents. They are working great.”
Are these Sansbug I’s or II’s?
These are 1-persons (except for Matt’s). The 1-persons are easier to take on a plane as they can easily fit in the overhead bin when 4-folded. 10 nets can fit in a carton 27 x 27 x 7 inches which is what we ship in and which is within the allowed dimensions for most airlines (length + width + height should be 62 inches or less). The airlines may charge an oversize baggage fee for a 2-person.
