Fortunately, mosquito and insect repellents have come a long way, no longer using DEET, and incorporating innovative and effective ingredients that do a great job repelling mosquitoes and ticks without feeling greasy and possibly having negative health effects. This Sawyer mosquito repellent using Picaridin, a new weapon in the arsenal against mosquitoes and ticks, and lasts for up to 8 hours after first application. In our testing, it worked really well without having too strong of an odor, too greasy of a feel on the hands or body, and we felt confident in its ability to protect against pesky bites and even more dangerous mosquito-borne illnesses like Zika.

But this early in the spring, do you need to worry about protecting yourself from ticks and the diseases they carry, such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever? Yes, says Bruce Noden, PhD, a medical and veterinary entomologist and an assistant professor in the department of entomology and plant pathology at Oklahoma State University. March and April are when people in most areas need to start worrying about ticks, Noden says. And according to the tick activity tracker run by the University of Rhode Island’s Center for Vector-Borne Disease, your chances of coming into contact with ticks are high in a number of areas in the U.S., including most of the Eastern half of the country and the West Coast.

As exciting as the end of the cold winter months can be, it’s hard to ignore the fact that warmer weather brings bugs If you live in an area where spending time outside in the summer means risking getting bitten by these tiny pests, you’re probably used to taking some basic precautions to protect yourself.

When you breathe out warm air, that air can escape from the top of your mask, which will fog up the lenses. A loose-fitting mask allows exhaled air to release straight into your glasses, but a secure-fitting mask forces that air to flow out and away from your glasses. If you wear a mask without a wire in it, you can use a moldable wire-based item and weave it through the top of the mask that sits on your nose bridge. If you wear glasses with progressive lenses or high prescription lenses, adjusting the nose pads may slightly change your vision, as your lenses should ideally sit as close to your eyes as possible.

Originally conceived in 1960 and finally launched in November 2020, the 565-mile Blue Mountains Trail (BMT) is Oregon’s newest long trail. Leaving Wallowa Lake State Park near Joseph, it forms a spiral on its way to the finish in John Day, passing through the ancestral lands of the Nez Perce, Confederated Tribes of Umatilla, and Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Based on our feedback and the feedback from others involved in the route, the Great Hells Canyon Council (GHCC) has updated the route.

The Best Hurricane Preparedness Supplies and Strategies Hurricanes have terrifying power, and because of their sheer scope and unpredictability, each one presents variables that are totally out of your control. The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season produced the most storms on record, with 30 named storms, 13 of which became hurricanes, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. A slow-moving tropical storm can produce 10 or 15 inches of rain over a big area and produce a lot of inland flooding,” said Gerry Bell, PhD, lead hurricane season forecaster with NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, in a conference call (MP3) with reporters. Be prepared for some primitive living without power for a while,” said Claudette Reichel, a building science specialist at Louisiana State University who trains housing professionals on disaster resilience as well as on hurricane and flood recovery.

No matter where you’re going, it’s smart to bring along a quality water bottle with a filter so you can have safe, clean drinking water wherever you go. Whether you plan on taking hiking or biking excursions on your trip, or you’re simply concerned about the water quality at your destination, here are seven quality water bottles that give you easy access to clean drinking water while you’re on the go. One of the best parts about this particular bottle is its filter, which can easily be cleaned with an included syringe filter cleaner. While you won’t have to replace the filter often—or, in some cases, at all—you’ll have to replace the straw regularly.

In fact, the pores of it are 0.1 micron in size, which means they filter out 99.99999 percent of bacteria, and 99.99999 percent of protozoa. The filter comes with a couple of adapters, a gauge to check the thread sizes (so you don’t cross-thread filter, trying to force it onto a faucet it doesn’t want to fit on) and an extension hose so you can reach the container While it will fit almost all the garden hose spigots, the head-spinning array of faucet aerator threads would make anyone crazy. If you find that all of your (very cool, very modern, very decorator-tasteful) faucet aerators have odd or metric threads, then just use the garden hose, it’s all the same water supply anyway.
