[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 361680, member: 27017"] Thanks to all who have replied, seriously and in humor. My "golden hour" photography usually includes a walk out in the desert (weeds). I think the TermaCELL might be a good alternative. I do go covered ie long sleeved shirt, long pants, hat, socks, shoes. Hands and face are still exposed however. In thinking on when I ever encountered mosquitoes this bad previously was in Korea. First night in Korea (US Army accommodations) I had a cot with one wool blanket. That was it. I had just fallen asleep when I was awakened by what sounded like a couple of big bomber aircraft. Then I realized it was two mosquitoes. I heard one say to the other, "Should we attack him here or take him outside?" The other one replied, "Eat him here, if we take him outside the big boys will take him away from us." I ended up sleeping as much as possible in the tightest fetal position I could get in, buried under the blanket. The next morning I knew that when I got up there was going to be nothing left but skin and bones. Can you say, completely sucked dry. Ha! After getting to my assigned area a few days later, we had mosquito netting for our bunks and US Army Insecticide that was sprayed liberally around our bunks before entering and after entering. The can stayed in the bunk for the additional intruders. Part of this contains a little bit of fiction, but most of it is fact. Ha! I don't know how I am still alive after breathing what was probably DDT or something equally toxic. Ha! [/QUOTE]
