I would straight-up walk around with a prophylactic flame thrower to burn the air in my vicinity clean of blood sucking helicopters.
And suddenly I think I understand how the Canadian wildfires started. Someone got fed up with the mosquitoes and channeled Arachnophobia with some homemade napalm and Super Soakers.

You can get 100% deet. I bought it fromBass Pro or Cabela's, I think I've seen it at REI too.
Gotta be real careful with that. It'll melt [certain] plastics with ease. I have only needed it 3 times in my life - once in Quetico, twice in the UP. In every other situation I can recall, the 40% is sufficient. But that'll still melt some plastics.

You just need a willingness to kick them to the curb. I have pared my friends list down to the 242 reasonable people that actually want to share something besides politics and family drama. The feed is mostly camping, family, cars, and projects. I spend a couple of minutes scrolling down it in the morning after reading 1440.

Not as bad as horseflies, though. Those things are evil.
We use to have horseflies down here. They were a serious nuisance when you were out in the boat. I seldom see them around here now.
When my father was on running The Great Loop, they had to deal with them all through the northern portion.

Yep. I have blocked lifelong friends. My feed is mostly family, puppies, old cars, comics, nerd stuff...

I've been blocking "Suggested for you..." feeds non-stop for the last week. They just keep coming.

We had some 30% Muskol leak in the glove box of our RX4. It damaged the glovebox and the plastic bag it was in. You're not gonna get that with your wussy citronella or Skin So Soft.
