>>774973Scented soaps are probably a bad idea. I know some trail groups that explicitly say not to use *mint as bears seem to like it (even toothpaste).
>>775051I use 3M Ultrathon (34% DEET). A bit pricey, but it goes on nicely (its a cream, kinda like sunscreen) and usually lasts me all day unless I go swimming.
If I'm still having issues after using Ultrathon (usually only in proper swampy areas), I have a bottle of Sawyer Jungle Juice (98% DEET). Nasty stuff, makes my skin burn for about a half-hour after applying, and it eats plastic, but nothing touches me with it on.
