Man sprays permethrin on tent

1. A bug repellant spray to give your outdoorsy fabrics an insect-warding shield that lasts for six weeks and through repeat washings.

This spray is meant for clothing, tents, backpacks, etc. and shouldn't be applied directly to your skin. It won't stain or distress clothing, and you won't be able to sweat it out! Plus, you can use it on your dog, to protect them from fleas and ticks for up to 35 days.

Promising review: "I hike with a wonderful lunatic who thinks nothing of taking shortcuts through waist-deep, flowing, prickling, itching grass, and other places pretty much deemed tick central. I sprayed this stuff on my pack, pair of leggings, and hiking boots, two weeks prior to my hike (everything but the tank top I was wearing). When it came time to exit tick land, all my hiking guys had ticks on them; one pulled about seven off his legs. I had NOT ONE. I'm beyond impressed with this stuff." —Tammy

In future, I’ll use gravity when I can, and squeeze when I have to.

For longer hikes, it’s convenient to carry a small backcountry water filter, such as a Sawyer Mini or Micro, which allows you to replenish your water from natural sources like streams or ponds.
