For those ready to chase adventure and experiences off the beaten path, where pristine nature surrounds them, but aren’t quite ready to give up every comfort, meet Kruger Bush Campers. Designed to tackle rugged terrain, these purpose-built campers offer an easy pass to nature and adventure. Forget the limitations of regular RVs tethered to smooth roads and hookups. Kruger Bush Campers are a gateway to adventure, crafted with precision and built for comfort even in the toughest conditions.

The origins of the brand

Kruger Bush Campers began with a family trip to Africa. The Sauers family, always seeking adventures together, traveled through South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. They were impressed by the rugged off-grid campers they saw. These were not your typical RVs; they were designed to access nature with comfort and functionality.

David Sauers, co-founder of Kruger Bush Campers, recalls the moment of inspiration: “We loved the way the campers could handle the rough road but then were ready in minutes– none of the aggravation of carrying all your stuff on your back and spending hours setting up camp. Our campers take you beyond the typical camping and to quickly enjoying the things you love– hunting, fishing, hiking, or exploring.”

To get directly to nature, the Kruger Bush Campers are both lightweight and rugged. The inspired design lets users be both sustainable and self-sufficient. As a result, the campers are durable enough to go off-road and sustainable enough to survive off-grid.

Campers built with durability in mind

Built with marine-style, molded construction, each camper has all the creature comforts. Forget uncomfortable sleeping bags, exposure to the elements, and no bathrooms.  In a Kruger Bush Camper, you don’t miss any benefits of the outdoors while enjoying the benefits of comfortable beds, slide-out kitchens, and bathrooms with showers.

The lightweight design is key to getting into undisturbed nature. The Springbok model, for example, is under 2,500 pounds—perfect for smaller tow vehicles. Larger models, still under 6,000 pounds, are ideal for midsize trucks, so adventurers can reach even the most remote locations.

“Our campers are legacy investments. Their durability is not just in their ability to go off-road, it is in their ability to stand the test of time,” adds Sauers.

Along with outstanding durability and portability, Kruger Bush Campers are packed with innovative features that make off-grid living enjoyable. Solar panels come standard on the larger models and are available as an option on the smaller model. Sauers shares that solar panels provide sustainable energy for those who want to enjoy nature longer.

Features tailored for off-grid experiences

Water storage is another critical consideration for going off-grid, so Kruger Bush Campers are designed with built-in water storage solutions and efficient management systems. 

“With our water storage systems, campers can enjoy the outdoors without worrying about running out of essential resources,” Sauers notes.

Another feature is the slide-out kitchen, designed with convenience and functionality in mind. Whether in the middle of a forest or on the edge of a desert, campers can easily prepare meals while enjoying nature.

“Our slide-out kitchens allow for more interior room in the camper while making it easy to prepare meals outdoors,” says Sauers.

The interior and exterior designs of Kruger Bush Campers are all about practicality. From the quick and easy setup to the well-thought-out storage solutions, these campers are designed to maximize adventure time.

“We designed our campers for quick and easy setup. It can take hours to set up camp with tents, and you are still sleeping on the ground. Our campers take minutes and sleep in comfort,” Sauers explains. 

Plus, traditional RVs often come with limitations—weight, size, and dependency on developed campsites—that restrict where they can go. Kruger Bush Campers break these barriers with their rugged, off-grid capabilities, allowing adventurers to explore beyond the typical RV parks and into the heart of nature.

“These are more than just campers. They are the conduit to adventure and discovery,” Sauers explains.

Half of my family is half-Japanese. And that may explain my affinity for all things Japanese. However, in one night, I endured things I don’t particularly love because a Japanese twist on one of my all-time favorite perks of life made it all worth it.

I am not a modern art kind of guy. I just don’t get it. Give me old photographs over sculptures. Give me landscapes over impressionism. Give me historical nostalgia over abstract works. So, when I was invited to the Museum of Modern Art, I was only excited because of the open bar. Turns out, the open bar was all clear alcohol, which just wouldn’t do. I am all brown beverages, as you know.

The Art of Choosing a Gift That Feels Personal and Purposeful
Tape, Wristwatch, Opening Present

It’s common today to think of how much you’re going to spend on a gift. Many white elephant parties or secret Santa exchanges set a range, like $25 – $50, and so many people simply search for gifts within that range. But the reality is that the best gifts are often the ones that reflect the relationship between two people.

Sympathy gifts are one area where this rings true. While flowers and cards are often the go-to gesture, it’s usually your homemade chicken soup or the memory box filled with pictures that feels sentimental. In moments where the “right” words feel impossible, you can still find a gift to say what you can’t.

ShieldTech Is Still Building Every Cover the Hard Way, and That’s the Point

Every ShieldTech windshield cover that leaves the company’s Phoenix, Arizona facility passes through the same hands more than once before it ships. Each cover is handmade in the US rather than produced through an automated or overseas manufacturing process.

“Everything has lost quality,” says Jason Jonas, CEO of ShieldTech.“You look at the way homes are built now, the way couches are built. Almost everything has gotten cheaper. We’re trying to reverse that, starting with a windshield cover,” says Keith Black, Founder and Inventor of ShieldTech.
