Yo Kenny, after living in a mosquito infested jungle on the Big Island of Hawaii for forty years this is my Mosquito fix. Get an all purpose hand sprayer, add 1/4" of Dawn dish soap, fill with water, adjust spray to course size droplets, hang spray bottle off right side pants pocket so it's always there for a quick draw to shoot down any type bugs, you can spray it on any surface without staining, take it to bed with you and when you hear them skitters buzzing your ears just keep your eyes closed and spray near your face, this none toxic solution will knockout 10 or 20 skitters at a time with one squirt...the soap will kill flys, no see'ums, wasps, hornets, spiders, ants, centipedes, scorpions, if it flys or crawls soap will stop it, and it will also change a vicious dogs attempt to bite you too.

Great idea!

That's like camping in our hay pasture... which I've done many times. Down here, shade is preferable. Yes, many parties were held in the back of that pasture. A gravel hill was great for parking around a fire. All those minnows have parents in there, somewhere. Better go get 'em!

Aside from the bugs Prime landscape right their. . . . . Nice

When you cook turn on your locator, so we can find you. 🤣 We’ll bring citronella, so we smell good for the mosquitoes. I understand the voyageurs slathered themselves wit bear grease to escape them. Thanks for the ride!

Hi Kenny 🖑! I don't like mosquitos either! 😣 😝 😠, but, boy oh boy, do they ever like me!! 😚 😚 😚 It's truly fun hanging out with you Kenny, you are so adventurous and fun loving, besides, you are absolutely COOL!!! 👏 👏 👏 I guess there's NO fish in those lakes either my friend, you may have to come out here to western Washington to find fish! 🐡 🐠 🐟 🎣 Your friend, Didi 👋 🌲 🐟 🚴 🏞

Thermacells and mosquito coils! Best inventions ever!

OMG, the mosquitos! Beautiful, peaceful spot except for the blood suckers; for me that'd be a huge turnoff, wouldn't be able to sleep either hearing or think I'm hearing the ominous buzzing! Surprising they were out on such a cool morning, too, must be very dedicated or making up for lost feedings. Too bad you had no luck fishing, but your backup dinner looked awesome! Another great vid as always!

Great video. I just returned from a trip this week and the mosquitoes are in full force here is Alaska as well. I really like the thermacells, I have three of them in my truck camper and they do the trick. Also this was my first trip with my generator mounted to the front of the Ram…worked great. Take care

You have some good looking recipes! I'm going to have a couple. Thank you and God bless! 💜💙💜

That was really cool how the minnows came up to the surface of the water like that. What a great find, there are tons of nice spots to pull off at and set up camp. Dinner on the campfire looked amazing. I love to make Kabobs on the grill. A lovely sunset and a great shot of the moon. We use Thermacells and they have worked well for us. So, I made the Pork and Cauliflower recipe from last week and man it was delicious. It was even better warmed up the next day. Fred loved it and said, to tell you, "Thanks, for looking out for me" Have a great week. Mary💕 Fred

Often people see the beauty of Minnesota and think they want to come here...then they realize the summers are full of Mosquitos the size if horseflys, woodticks that love to find warm spots on the body to attach to, summer days where the humidity dew point are so high you sweat through every layer of clothing. Then winters with -55 temperatures and not seeing above freezing for months at a time. But there's 2.5 weeks in fall where this state is beautiful.

I have two diff popup net gazebos, but both are a fight to put away, so for one night not worth it, (hmm need to find a better one,) anyway pop it up and do a quick off spray inside it, dash out n get a drink, n then set for no bugs. For no gazebo, used thermocell &/or mosquito coils, and/or mosquito candles. 🍻

Yeah didn't look like fun once those skeeters started showing up.

Thanks for sharing. Great spots. Not sure what works best on the mosquitos that is safe without the side effects of smell, chemicals, stickiness or soapiness. Ticks are also a huge problem here no doubt. Overall though….I think I’d rather deal with those nuisances than people most of the time. ;)

Hi Ken. I'm fairly new to your channel. My future plan includes a Jayco travel trailer and this plan was stopped by serious illness but im getting there. Anyway I love your videos probably because you seem to be kind of a introvert. You really do not want to be around people. I am like that. I wasnt always. Now i am. That said i am asking kind of an intrusive favor. do you have a video made i can see of just a tour of the truck and maybe a day in the life including hanging out time. I want to see what its like out there in the woods. boring stuff and all. or with Mandi. I like the day in the life stuff and it helps me prepare. Thank you for your videos!! Best wishes from Boston MA.

That's awesome to hear you asking for that type of video. I will definitely get a video showing what takes place when I'm not out exploring. You called it correctly with me being an introvert. I'm not comfortable around groups of people, however I love changing myself and stepping outside of my comfort zone. In my last career I was an instructor for various classes. The preparation days prior would always give me anxiety, thinking about leading a group of 20 to 40 people . But the sense of accomplishment after was awesome. KZread is one of the ways I am changing myself these days, making myself comfortable with being uncomfortable. Thanks for checking out the videos and following along!
