Yes, Adventure is out there, but so are the bugs! Let's talk repellent for a minute.
No, you're not likely to see the age that mosquitos don't exist, as they've been around since the Triassic period, you've likely seen Jurassic Park!
Don't worry, it's just a frog and no one is using it for DNA to create some dinosaur, though it would prove pretty interesting to see one. I'll pass on getting eaten though. These little dudes can only do so much for the mosquito population and if you're in for a fun video just search up frogs missing bugs. Ok, I'm way off topic! Back to mosquitos...
We all know that as soon as the sun goes down, no matter how beautiful the area is, if you're near water, the bugs are soon to follow. And if you're like me, when it comes to mosquitos... you're delicious. Another reason I don't recommend reintroducing dinosaurs to the environment, because I'm high risk for being delicious for them too. Anyways, it's important to protect yourself from the little boogers and here are a couple ways to do that without dousing yourself in chemicals.
No dinosaurs have not been reintroduced so it's not ok to spray yourself in order to taste bad, so it'll spit you out. At least so I've been told. Nor is it good to spray all this crap on the kiddos, as some new research information comes up that it's literally poison, as if you couldn't tell from the smell.
So, here's some ideas on how to enjoy your beautiful outdoor excursion without getting eaten alive and enduring the weeks of itch afterwards:
1. Mosquito Repellent Bands
These are my go-to! They don't smell particularly strong, and they are no irritant. Most last several outings unless you swim with them. You can get yours here: Mosquito Repellent Bracelet
Mosquito Spring Bracelet there are several brands available, these are just links to the ones I personally utilize.
2. Mosquito Repellent Stickers
Warning! Though I love these, they will leave tan lines! Not kidding, I had a circle for a month. But as far as keeping bugs off you, they also work really well. Sometimes I do get a little irritation from the glue, but I'm super sensitive as far a skin is concerned, and cool thing is you can wear these on your gear, your hat or other clothing.

3. Don't forget to keep something around for the campsite, make sure anything like this you NEVER burn indoors. I prefer the candles but am not beyond the incense sticks or the incense cones. Here are two that I find work particularly well:
So, gear up and get outside! Never stop exploring.
