Title: Re: 1st trip into Quetico

Jeremy,

My bug repellent consists of taking 6 or 8 garlic tablets a day beginning 2 weeks before a trip and continue taking them while on a trip. Seriously, this has worked for me for years now.......the bugs avoid me. The downside is that other campers avoid me also ;) Before I employed the above method, I would bring along a bottle of IMITATION vanilla flavoring and apply that as bug repellent. It worked though I haven't tried it for many years now since going the garlic tablet route.

Welcome to the forum here on QJ and thanks for your contribution as an Inukshuck.

May you and your wife enjoy your trip
