I am looking forward to wearing more animal print in the BWCA, especially if it keeps the skeeters away.

Are you going to be the head, or the other end? :)

You beat me to posting this. The next question is to try this for northwoods bugs.

Or could it be that the cloth is the real deterrent

I'm sure it will work great - after a permethrin soak.

You try it, and let us know how it works. :)

All someone needs is a referee jersey. Then you can also call delay of game or unsportsmanlike conduct on people clogging up portage landings. Penalty is either 10 rods or bringing a load of firewood to the referee's campsite.
