Kuma Outdoor Gear

Coming back from the campsite and returning to work Monday morning is hard.

So, here are some baby geese on one of our Backtrack Chairs to help make your Monday a bit better!

Let's keep the fun going! Have a cute picture of your pets using our gear? Want to share what adventures you took your Kuma Gear on this weekend? Share your photos with our Kuma Kommunity in the comments below!

How is our Kuma Kommunity planning to use their Fireside Stump? From all the answers we've gathered online the past couple of days, this will be one of our most versatile items and a must-add to your camping gear line-up!

Some of our favourite uses you have come up with so far:

▪️ Would look great next to my Lazy Bear Chair holding my coffee
▪️ Perfect for my small space on my balcony
▪️ I would definitely use it for just about everything! Side table for the snacks and brewskis, an extra chair, footstool, And I’d be able to put up my tarp using it to get up higher!
▪️ Ideal size for a couple 🍹
▪️ To hold all the ingredients for s'mores
▪️ I would use it to sit on while weeding my garden boxes
▪️ Perfect table for charcuterie board (aka girl dinner)
▪️ I would use it by the fire for food/drinks but then bring it into my tent and put my water bottle, bug spray and camping essentials handy
▪️ This would be very handy to have as a quick little table for the kid(s) to eat at. I love how compact it is

🌎 Exciting Earth Day Update 🌎

Our Re-Discover Project is growing! Partnering with Katrina from Earth Warrior Lifestyle , we're giving old products new life through creative repurposing and in just a couple of months, we've diverted over 285 lbs of textile waste from landfills!

This Earth Day, we’re thrilled to announce a new partnership with Lordco Parts Ltd. for our upcycling initiative. Lordco, originally from BC, has grown to over 90 locations across BC and Alberta and is renowned for quality auto parts, outdoor gear and a strong focus on customer service.

Why are we excited to have them as a part of our Re-Discover Project?

With one centralized distribution center, two regional hubs, and a 500-vehicle strong delivery fleet, Lordco helps solve a key challenge: transporting end-of-life Kuma products back to Katrina in Edmonton, Alberta, while minimizing carbon emissions. Thanks to Lordco’s network, we can now collect gear not just in Alberta, but also in BC. This will help us divert even more waste from landfills!

One of our favourite things to see is when people sit in our Kozy Bear Chair and realize there is a built-in cooler!

Plus, stash your essentials securely in the zippered pockets – say goodbye to lost phones! Crafted from durable polyester with a sturdy frame, this chair is built to last.
