A lot of great days on the trail

Keep it handy so you don't have to stop and search for it in the bottom of
your pack

Unless you set up your tent

Yah might need it while hiking and at breaks. Pray for a good strong breeze
or rain :-), they don't attack during rainstorms.
<< I hear DEET doesn't much work.>>
Not on the blackflies, but on skeeters it's great. I use 100% too.
<< On the radio this morning I heard Avon Skin-so-soft advertised as Avon
Skin-so-Soft Bug Plus.>>
Again, effective against skeeters. Yah, Avon is just cashing in on the West
Nile Virus.
<<Any good advice on what kind of headnet to get?>>
I made mine, but I like the ring on the OR headnet.
<<Color of netting?>>
The darker the better the visibility
<<Do they weigh much?>>
No, just an ounce or two.
