Tarp or Poly?
You talked. We listened. You mentioned that the tarp makes noise when you move in your sleep, so we came up with a with a 1-person poly floor version. The poly is the same material as the roof. It is also 5oz. lighter and not as bulky as the tarp. So if you’re using the […]
London – Cape Town – Cairo in 39 WEEKS!
That’s like 9 months! Traveling with 25 other people in an 18-ton bright-yellow truck through 28 countries all around Africa is not your typical vacation.

Her original plan was to only use it during home-stays, but she ended up popping it open in quite a few guesthouses, too. It definitely set my mind at ease knowing that I would not be bitten […]
Bonding with your Avian Friend
My bird and I do just about everything together. She is a highly intelligent African gray parrot. When I go outside I have to be careful and very vigilant for birds of prey, cats, and mosquitoes. Due to the sensitivity of their immune system, a single mosquito bite can kill them. If they are bitten […]
