The upcoming May long weekend may be the first warm, sunny foray into summer getaways (hello bonfires and barbeques!) for plenty of our readers - but for many others, the weather may not be as glamorous. That’s where we come in.

We’ve put together our essentials for outdoor living, so whether you’re tenting in the Great White North or living your best West Coast #vanlife - Kuma has something for everyone in any climate!
Gather ’round the proverbial campfire and get comfortable - let’s get into our must-haves!
Lumberjack Sherpa Throw
We’re hard-pressed to think of anything more comfortable and cozy for a chilly May night than a fluffy Sherpa throw blanket.
Measuring 70”x 60” (or 6ft x 5ft), the Sherpa throw is easy to pack away for those evenings by the fire. Pair it with one of our microfleece Wood Chip Pillows, and you’ve got yourself a comfortable evening ahead!
Look for the Sherpa Throw and Wood Chip pillows at your local authorized Kuma retailer.
Bear Blaze Fire Bowl
When living life outdoors, it’s important to keep fire safety top of mind, particularly on the North American West Coast. Many provinces, states, and territories have cautionary fire bans in place for days or weeks at a time - which can make keeping warm difficult for those living that outdoor lifestyle, be in a tent or next to your RV.
The Bear Blaze Fire Bowl is our answer! Our fire bowl is CSA-approved, which means it’s safe for use under most fire bans. Bonus, the Bear Blaze is easy to assemble - no tools required.
Note: Fire bowls are a safer alternative to a wood-burning pit or open fire. Wood fires can easily release sparks and embers into the air, which is highly dangerous in arid environments.
Always exercise caution when operating the fire bowl.

Busy Bear Camp Kitchen
Imagine being able to pack up your kitchen counters and take them with you on the road for the May long weekend - what a fantasy, right? Not when you grab our Busy Bear Camp Kitchen!
With a convenient collapsible design and an ultra-lightweight frame, you’ll be whipping this bad boy out at every opportunity. Perfect for s’more and hot dog prep!
Keep It Cool Instant Shelter
Picture this: you’re at a festival, and it’s hot. You’re perspiring, actively sunburning, and are desperate for a bit of shade.
Enter the Keep It Cool Instant Shelter, perfect for anywhere the sun or rain gets a little too intense. Easy pull tabs on the top of the frame instantly pop the shelter out, so you can hop in and immediately cool off - with minimal effort.
The shelter is UV resistant, water-resistant, and has a convenient carry bag. Perfect for long days in the hot sun!
The Keep It Cool is ideal for festivals, those long outdoor soccer games, camping, hot days by the RV, or even for sunny afternoons in the backyard.
