I made the horrible mistake to go climbing at Poke-O-Moonshine in the Adirondack the first week of June. Never been so miserable while trying to do something I love in my life. Those little fuckers were sent here from the butthole of Satan himself. Nasty little fuckers. Climbed all the classics on the tick list, but we paid for it. Must have lost a quart of blood to those little bastard. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shane45 807 Posted May 15, 2018 Product review please! Because of my pets I am severely limited from chemical solutions so non chemical is much better for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thermacell uses a butane cartridge to heat up a small pad that’s soaked in mosquito repellent. No open flames so it’s safe to use around fabric and children. As the mat warms, the repellent is released into the air. It creates about a 15' diameter around you for a "zone of protection". I've used them for years and they work well for me. The unit can heat up a bit so you gotta be careful touching it, but they have belt clips that will hold it away from your body. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grapeshot 301 Posted May 15, 2018 Black Flies? OK, just 3 words: Cheap Italian Cigars And how do you get rid of the little buggers? Walk up to someone who's being particularly annoying, strike up a conversation, light one of those cigars, then slowly retreat. Your flies will stay on the other guy. Did this on a trip to Katahdan and it worked every time. Although I haven't been invited back... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
