Embracing the blood sucking six legged suck...
Next month I will be spending a week in the field - sleeping in hootches - for some tactical military training. This time of the year, the area I will be staying in will be infested with mosquitoes, black flies, horse flies, the odd deer fly and possibly ticks as they are now in the area too. A buddy of mine just returned from training and reported the bugs were not really after blood, but more meat...
Obviously I will be taking a good supply of bug juice and packing my issued bug net to make sleeping a tad more comfortable. Are there any other suggestions to help make this situation less 'suck'? I understand I will probably lose a pint or two, but was hoping there might be a way to make the little bastards work harder for it. Please help. Thanks.
