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

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?
