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 river race which has to be completed within 88 hours (about 3 1/2 days) across 340 miles […]
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 […]
Dr. Hanna Ekstrom is in the business of saving smiles in remote parts of the world, one child at a time. Her team currently serves 9000+ children. They have worked extensively among the Miskito Indians (no, not related to the word mosquito) in northeast Nicaragua. Many of the towns in this area are only accessible […]
The convenience vs. portability trade-off. No net can come close to the convenience of the SansBug. There’s no need to hunt for a spot to suspend it like a regular mosquito net or join poles to erect one. Imagine doing that every night and taking it down again the next morning, if you were moving from […]

Every year, we get an email or two saying that when they pulled out their SansBug for summer camp, they found that the poles were splintered… and it was fine the previous year. 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 seen on istagram: @nicholsquarters, #sansbug #burkina. Can you spot the SansBug somewhere amongst the domes of Fabedougou? The domes are limestone rocks sculpted over millenia. They can be found 3km north of Karfiguela Falls in Burkina Faso. Here’s another pic up close of the impressive rock formations. By Maarten van der Bent – Dômes […]
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 […]
