I highly recommend the portable Thermacell devices. As long as the wind is minimal, they work well…

At least it’s nice for the froggy boys. I may try another summer trip, but I’m definitely bringing two portable Thermacells minimum.

Summer is tough because of bugs (northern MN), but I went to a backpacking site at Itasca State Park in late May and the weather/site was beautiful. Unfortunately the ticks were already out though.
