How do you personally deal with these when outside for long hours?

very true, if I have my nuts out the mosquitos will be sucking out my sperm instead of blood, or a mixture of both. either way that makes them faggots and therefore easier to kill

I cover up. It's the only reliable, long term solution

Yup.
Head net, long sleeves, pants.
Fires at camp help keep them away a bit, always have one burning/smoking.

I try to avoid spray as much as possible, DEET damages synthetic materials. If I need to, I'll use icaridin on my hands/face.

More canoe trips when the bugs are bad, keep to bigger lakes, try to camp in spots with lots of wind/sun. Tent door facing toward the wind.

Go to a walk in clinic or something similar if you have it available to you.

>>1908578
Best is covering up like others say, also smoking keeps them at bay.

I searched my ass off for ways to get rid of it. I tried the meat method last night and all that did was piss it off and it felt like a porcupine was rolling around in my skin. Gave up that shit after 20 minutes because it felt horrifyingly gross. The wound itself doesn't hurt so I tried digging for it but I couldnt see what I was doing. Gonna have to get my ass into town to go to a clinic. I didn't know we had these fucking things in the states I thought it was a rain forest thing.

Oh fuck yeah, it's 100% necessary for my sanity during bug season.
Spray is last resort, I go in the backcountry for fresh air not to spray chemicals into my face.

I mean, fuck mosquitoes sure but at least they're stupid and suicidal. Horse/deer flies are crafty as fuck and do not relent.

I use one of these for camping, it actually works as long as the wind isn't too strong.

Got three bites on my neck om my first day at my summer job. Got a net like this the next day and used it with my cap under and didn't get a bite or any bugs in my face for the rest of my job which was a godsend for my mental stability.

You don't always have to
Skeeters are poor fliers and don't do well in a breeze. So if you are walking at a decent rate, they wont be able to land on you very well. But as soon as you stop moving, they're all over you.
If it's real bad, I leave my headnet on my hat, but not over my face while walking. As soon as I stop, I pull it down. This works well in combination with a wide brim hat, which serves the same purpose as the metal hoop inside the net. You want to keep the net off your face because the little fuckers will bite you through the holes in the net

Mosquitoes in the Sierra, at the right (wrong) time of year, are worse than you will find in Ga.

This has been my experience as well, living in GA. Gnats get really fucking bad in central/southern GA, but mosquitos have never been too bad for me in the state. Hiking in Montana was another story though, we were moving at a near-jog pace and had a full on black cloud of mosquitos following the last person in line. Had an almost identical experience walking the less traveled paths around the Juuniko ponds in the Shirakami forest. I was wearing long clothes fortunately, but completely forgot there'd be mosquitos in summer and I had nothing to cover my face or neck.

In places where there is a longer mosquito season, they don't get as intense. But at northern latitudes and high elevations, skeeters have less time to get their shit done, so are out in clouds. Luckily, these are less likely to vector diseases to humans

Something that I did worked. I held a piece of chicken cutlet over it for a bit and then I took a pair of tweezers and soaked them in rubbing alcohol and jammed that shit way in there. Little fuckers gone now.

Thanks for the answers fellas, turns out you just get used to them and eventually they start fucking off more often. Just got a new job where I'm in the woods all day and I love it so much, I'm actually happy with my career for once even though I don't know shit about being outside. I want to grow and learn

GA here. Mosquitos aren't bad at all as long as you're above the fall line.
