Bug Dope Recommendations

BUG DOPE

FOR 40 + YRS IN THE OUTDOORS ONION GARLIC WORKS REASONABLY WELL. CURRENTLY I USE CITRONELLA, AN HERB COMBINATION ( OILS ( EXTRACT ) OF SAGE, PEPPERMINT, LAVENDAR, ROSEMARY THYME ) MADE BY CROCODILE IN COMBINATION WITH OLD WOODSMAN FLY DOPE WORK VERY WELL.
YOU NEED TO REAPPLY EVERY SO OFTEN DEPENDING ON SWEAT FACTOR.
I SPEND LONG HOURS STANDING AT AN INSTRUMENT AND REMAIN RELATIVELY FREE OF BUGS ........NOW TO FIGURE OUT TICKS...........!

...Garlic and Vitamin B6 really helps me smitty77, however a garlic-rich Italian dish is far more tasty 8) . Put on Skintastic(sp?) for the first time today, but I did more driving around than hiking(~30min)...so can't really give it a true rating yet. Citronella really does work for mosquitoes, interesting about the bear attraction_thing if factual.

Greg, do I ever remember that oily tar liquid.....talk about uncomfortable stuff on oneself :roll:
