SAWYER INSECT REPELLENT AND SUNSCREEN REVIEW

An absolute essential for sportsman during most of the year is insect repellant and sunscreen. This is especially true for spring and summer hunting or off-season activities. Whether it’s turkey hunting, hog hunting, or scouting for deer, spraying down with insect repellant and sunscreen can protect you from the sun and keep potential serious insects like ticks at bay.

Permethrin insect repellent treatment from Sawyer is made for use on clothing and hunting gear such as backpacks and boots. A single application of Permethrin lasts 6 weeks or 6 washings, whichever comes first!

As a hunter, especially in climates like Texas, it is important to protect your skin. Most of the time this compromises scent control. Fortunately, Sawyer makes a scent free sunscreen for hunters!

Casserly’s favorite water treatment is a squeeze filter like the SAWYER SQUEEZE filtration system ($29, sawyer.com), which screws onto the included flasks or a plastic water bottle. Squeeze filters are ideal for individual use. They’re light and inexpensive, and you can drink the water immediately through the filter.

While young babies should be protected with clothing and netting (not chemicals), older babies and children should use a suitable repellent to help avoid bites, discomfort, and insect-borne illnesses.
