Other stuff you'll find in the woods are also effective. The white fungus that lives on birch trees for example (pic related) is exelent for keeping the blood sucking bitches away. Dry it, get it lit and put it in a metal box. It should NOT BURN, only smoulder.
Wearing long sleeves and putting Tiger balm on exposed areas also works pretty well.
DEET always works, but that's some nasty shit.
Apparently mosquitos are also attracted to colour. Blue being it's favorite while white it's least favorite. So wear white or at least light colours. Although they wo'nt stay white for long in the woods...
Camouflaging your breath by chewing on some garlic works, but that's not for everyone..
And finally: Lavender. Plant some in your back yard to keep the mosquitoes away. Pick some,dry them and put them in and around your wool clothes (you DO know wool IS the best do'nt you?) to keep the moths away. Works very well!
