I know a lot of hunters that keep Skin so Soft in their bags.

It's for people that don't want to use things with chemicals. Mosquitoes hate the smell of lemons. So if you get a little squirt of lemon juice and pat a little on your wrists and a little on your shirt collar it should keep them away. Another thing is to take a laundry dryer sheet and rub it on your clothing. Supposedly they hate the smell of that also. When I first heard of these two methods I thought they sounded crazy. So being the "big dork" that I am I did a little experiment. I rubbed a dryer sheet on my shirt and patted a little lemon juice on my arms and went outside with my wife. My wife was getting ate up and I didn't even have one bite. So I guess it works.

Nothin' like using your significant other as the Control in any experiment! ;D
I always find it nice to light one of those citronella candles out on my Balcony when I know I am going to be partyin'/Smokin'/Drinkin' that night. Those work great!

I've used Skin so Soft with some success, but I used some DeepWoods Off this past week and it seemed to work good. I'd recommend try one of those.

Good Question: is it Deet Free?
