Mosquitos - They Are Waiting

Jim, who works here at Backcountry.com, was out in the Uintas Monday night for a little fresh air and solace.  He got the fresh air but as for the solace - it was he, his brother Joe and 10,000 of their tiny little mosquito friends.  Jim managed to take this photo of a few of his tiny friends on Joe's tent.

I went out Tuesday evening on a quick hike to confirm - the mosquitoes are aggressive. By the time I had gotten out of my car and slipped my hiking shoes on I had half a dozen confirmed kills with too many kamikaze mosquitoes that I frantically pulled out the bug spray and proceeded to douse myself with chemicals.  It worked well (I had the pump version of Deep Woods Off).

If you forget to bring along some tactical weaponry to fight the mosquitos we'll have some  Ben's Deet from Adventure Medical and some Natrapel Plus also from Adventure Medical for those of you that want a chemical free bug repellent.
