Bring about an eighth of ganja for a weekend trip and roll about three blunts and put some wax in them so they burn really slow. The smoke irritates the insects and the ganja gets me too stoned to care about bugs.

Living in The South my solution has been permethrin on my clothes and some deet on my face if it's really bad in the summer. Follow permethrin package directions.

I spent 3 months in the Amazon when I was in college. There's different remedies for the different types of insects, for mosquitoes, just cover up. Long sleeves, long pants and tall rubber boots leave you nearly inpregnable. Although this is nearly impossible, avoiding contact with foliage will also protect you from a bunch of hitchiker type parasites, but again nearly impossible not to touch foliage. The natives just walk around in normal clothes, no shoes t shirt, shorts, idk what they eat but it seems like insects never go after them. Also they don't sweat either, 105 degrees with 80% humidity and these guys barely have moisture on their skin, while I have a fucking waterfall on my forehead. Again, idk what the natives are made of but they are pretty much jungle proof, which white people are defibitely not.

It´s not bad, i live in Uruguay and travel north into Brazil to go camping in the rainforest a couple of times every year, only not during the rainy season.

You take your standard repellent cream that you can buy at any supermarket and apply it to any exposed skin, when it´s time to sleep you build a small fire and stack some firewood close at hand to feed it all night, it will keep bugs away.

Get a comfy hammock for sleeping, spread a tarp in an A-shape above it and make sure that every rope and cord that you tie to a tree has one of those little metal discs to prevent the bugs (and snakes!) from crawling down the trees, down the ropes and getting cozy with you.

Othertimes you can just take your crappy tent and go camping like everwhere else, it´s not all rainforest, you know?

Spicy Food, jalapenos and up, bugs hate spicy smells and if you're saturated with it, they'll stay away.

USA here. I live in a temperate rainforest. Mosquito clouds will carry you and your dog off and drain you dry through your eyelids. Black fly clouds will invade your vehicle through the vents and cause you to crash as they desiccate you. In the fall, we even get swarms of spiders. Oh, they are also flying spiders on single strand silk parachutes that envelope you by the 100s when you try to walk anywhere outside for a solid week.

At least I don't have to deal with scorpions and more than one kind of poisonous snake.

What hellish part of the United States do you live in? Florida?

>>928273
Most of the Deep south has this problem.

>>928280
At least you don't have -40F winters and 110F summers with 100% humidity.

>Obligatory over exaggerated post about how hardcore the climate is where I live

BTW If you don't live in the south and you complain about your summers just stfu you know nothing

I've really gotta agree with this guy. Grew up in Maine for 90% of my life, then moved to Texas.

While the winter in maine gets pretty fucking nippy, and there's like that 2 weeks during the summer when it's constantly 90+ with super high humidity, the heat and humidity in Houston is nothing like I've ever experienced.
Sure, in maine not everyone has AC- so those 2 weeks admittedly suck. But imagine that every single day, even after the sun goes down, except for like a month in the winter when it hits about 30-40 degrees at the coldest. During the summer I'll drink almost a gallon and a half of water a day at work and I'll have sweat through my shirt 5 minutes after stepping outside at 630am. I would gladly suffer through a week or two of discomfort in a maine summer without any AC after this.
