The link for the permethrin concentrate mix are in the description as well as links for clothing i'm wearing. Remember it's 10 parts water to 1 part concentrate for 1% spray and 20 parts water to 1 part concentrate for .5% spray.

.5% is a half of 1%... so if that's the case, wouldn't it be 5 parts water for 1 part concentrate, if it's 10 parts water for 1 part concentrate at 1%? Or is my math off? That's assuming you want the final solution to be the same strength, which is my understanding.

You've got to do the math, Permethrin comes in a couple different concentrations. .5% ready to spray, 10% for pouring over cattle, and 36.8%. Like the maker of the video, I prefer the 10% "pour over" figuring if you can apply it directly to cattle it won't have any other ingredients that are bad for mammals. Thing I'd like to know is how stable the permethrin is; is the 10% I bought 5 years ago still 10% or quite a bit less?

I worked with a wetlands consultant and we spent hours in hip boots in swamps, with mosquitoes around us in clouds. We took Vit B complex the day before. It's bitter and it comes out in sweat. I would hear skeeters and feel them bumping up against me, but they wouldn't land. All day in the field in a short sleeve shirt and not a single bite on my arms, neck, face or scalp. Alternatively, garlic tablets work, altho I'd get maybe one or two bites. With B Complex, I didn't get any.

I do these sorts of things over the years. I wasn't prepping to keep ticks off, but I would notice ticks would generally run over me and not bit. If they did bite me they would act sluggish as if ill, and barely bite not attaching, and let go altogether pretty soon. A tick generally has to bit you for nearer 24 hours to pass an illness on. NAC would probably be a good repellant as well because it has a super sulfury smell. High in sulfur.

I was bitten by a tick from a German Shepherd Dog in 1975. This happened in Alabama. I started feeling dizzy and disoriented while sitting in class. I went to the nurse who sent me to the ER immediately. They found the place, but thought it was a spider bite, so they gave me some antibiotics and sent me home. That night I had a high fever and passed out. The next morning I had the red blisters. I was admitted to the hospital and placed in isolation while an infectious disease specialist tried to diagnose me. After much bloodwork, the diagnosis was Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. I was in the hospital for about 10 days and after release and my blood was monitored every 6 months for several years. I was a healthy, active young woman. After the danger had passed, the doctors told me that many people who do not get treatment by the time the blisters appear, do not make it. I tell you this story for educational purposes. Protect yourself and stay safe out there.

GARLIC BEST SOLUTION. I was Mosquito Bait. I started eating lots of Garlic. I now pickle garlic in sweet pickle juice and add at least 50% more Vinegar. I can eat a whole garlic bulb in 1 sitting. I have never been bitten by anything since. When the Garlic is pickled, your breath doesn't reek of garlic. Others don't notice either. I also have heart conditions. Eating so much garlic has helped with heart issues significantly.

Two old Army techniques here: 1) eat 2-3 paper match heads once a day, so you eventually sweat and smell like sulfur to the bugs. Yes, some would get sick and queasy but we didn’t get eaten. 2) around each boot loosely place a inexpensive dog or cat flea and tick insect collar. This isn’t worn tight, it’s just a loop worn over the boot for bug defense. Tips: your clothing is your first line of defense vs. dirt, sun, insects, vegetation. Full gloves on as much as you can handle, gloves on especially at night when you try to sleep. In the deep woods flip your coat collar up for more protection - - sleeves down almost all the time with your coat tucked into pants. In low terrain, and shallow water crossings, leaches in the tree branches above drop on the “heat source” walking below them (dog, cow, coyote, human). The boonie cap is great to keep these little worms from attaching to your skin. If you an apply a spray defense to your outfit or skin even better. Total flashbacks for me. Great content, keep it up folks.

Darn good advice given, and I like the economy angle of making your own in a higher concentration. Ticks crawl up and jump down; they don't crawl downward by their nature, and that's why pants into boots and tucked-in shirts works so well. If you sealed up backwards you'd get ticks finding their way in. Bring the permethrin with you when you camp and spray the perimeter of your ground cloth or sleeping area for a second line of defense.

9 oz water + 1 oz 10% permethrin. Another difference between Sawyer's and *most* feed store preparations is the carrier -- most use oil and smell like kerosene. All water borne means no smell -- especially good when deer hunting. There are a couple brands that are water borne. I have watched ticks crawling on my permetherin treated trousers, going slower and slower and finally stopping altogether. Doing what you're being told here is spot on -- I've gone brush busting five days in September and gotten zero ticks or chiggers. The first time I tell you it was stunning.

Once a year I buy a pair of pants called Elim-a-tick that have permethrin infused into the fabric. They work pretty well but I have found their effective lifespan in a swamp is not what the manufacturer claims. However, for a once a year purchase they are fine.

1:50 as someone that has spent many thousands of hours in dense bush, off trail, my opinion is this is not a good way to wear your pants. All sorts of debris and bugs, also water, will run down the pant leg and in to the boot. If you wrap the pants on the outside of the boot it sheds all this stuff to the outside. Many combat fatigues have a draw string or elastic cuff on the pant leg that will close it tightly around the boot and prevent bugs etc from going up into it. Also, if you're doing a lot of walking, even a little fold of the fabric inside the boot is going to make pressure points that will chafe and blister eventually. For short term, around the picnic table, sure, tuck them in.
@zandemen
@zandemen 15 күн бұрын
BTW, the combat fatigues I'm familiar with have both the tuck and seal. A narrow sleeve tucks into the boot, doubles up above the boot and doubles back down to the ankle, where it is sealed. So you have both, the tuck inside the sock and boot, and the seal at the outside of the boot ankle.

Then, spray pants/boots with a mix of 1 tablespoon borax to 16 ozs warm water, till wet, spray on collar, wet well, cuffs of long-sleeves, and top of belt at waist, wet well, it'll dry soon, and on your zipper, and shirt buttons flap,. Spray hands till wet, wipe face, neck, head. Now you are chigger, tick, bug proof. They die !! I,m chigger allergic, itch/ burn for weeks, but, no problem when dressed to kill, with this.

8 yrs ago. Applegate Reservoir. The one day I didn’t spray my cuffs. Only went off the trail a couple of feet to find my first true morel mushroom. Big mistake! Ended up with both Lyme and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. My doctor only had me test it once for Lyme and it came back negative. So I was still having symptoms. Dockter didn’t want to hear about it. So I knew I still had something to do with a tick. I lived with it for 3 1/2 years and almost died from complications. It really messed my heart up and definitely cross the brain barrier. I also ended up with a side disease, called Morgellons and had to figure out how to treat it myself. My present day doctor says I probably saved my own life By keeping it under control with potassium iodide. I’m not telling anyone to take that it just worked for me. I still have many problems stemming from that tick bite 😅. Don’t be stupid like me. You may pay for the rest of your life!

for $30, Amazon sells a full-body bugnet suit. I normally wear two of them. permethrin and deet dissipate. As long as the netting has no hole in it, bugs can't get in and 2 layers of the bugnet suits ensures that spiders, etc, cant bite thru the netting. If it's cold, I sometimes use dry debris between the bugnet suits as insulation. Contrary to popular belief ticks and spiders CAN dig down into debris and remain alive for weeks when it's 20F. degrees.

I contracted the fever in wintertime with snow on the ground. I never thought about ticks. I had a bad scrape from the bark of a pine tree. Didn’t get a tick bite at all. The doc said that just the bacteria present on that bark could get into my bloodstream and cause that fever. It was awful.

A very important piece of gear in dense brush is a hat with neck flap, or safari/sun flap. it stops a lot of stuff from falling down the back of your shirt collar. A trick that will eliminate almost all flying insects is a helmet/hard hat with neck flap, visor, ear muffs and put half a teaspoon of sticky liquid on the hard top. (Chain oil form your chainsaw is the only thing I've tried, may void your warranty) Bugs get stuck in it and die. At the end of a day I'll find hundreds, sometimes many hundreds of little flies that otherwise would have been swarming around my face all day. This set up is very important in thick bush, where your eyes are constantly at risk of damage from branches etc, when you're pushing/crawling through stuff that's too dense to walk in.

Great tips. I spend virtually every weekend in the dense forests of Northern Michigan, very tick heavy. I don't know that an 8" boot is totally necessary but it couldn't hurt. For years I've worn a low cut boot or trail runner shoe and do not have issues with ticks so long as my pants are tucked tightly into my socks and the shirt tucked in as you mentioned. Even though your ankle/foot area is more exposed the ticks won't go down there for some reason. I think they are just instinctively geared to travel up your body. Great advice on mixing your own permethrin, I might have to try that sometime.

Army Basic Training 1982, they issued us a .5 oz bottle of DEET. We were told to wipe it onto exposed skin and it doesn't need to be wet. Spraying your skin leaves open areas everywhere. I've taught this to my children and we very rarely ever get bitten. So when using a spray, such as OFF, I spray the palms of my hands and wipe it on all exposed skin and hair. As for clothing, the cuffs of the pants and shirt, the collar area and the button area, that way the clothing can still breathe. Great survival tips, keep up the good work 👍

I was a nurse at a summer camp in Maine. I’m from the West Coast so don’t really think about ticks too much. But I did my research and I treated all my clothes in permethrin. As I was doing the intakes, I saw so many kids and adults with arthritis secondary to Lyme disease and it scared the crap out of me! it was super hot and humid, yet I lived in my permethrin clothes. What was sad is there were international counselors and lots of kids just rolling around in the grass. They were just told to do a tick check and that should be fine. Blows my mind. 😮 however, there were more and more counselors going to get the permethrin and taking heed of my caution in my example. I did feel like I was in a chemical Burka all summer lol, but I wasn’t about to get a chronic disease for a seasonal gig.

Instead of eating matches 🤢 you can buy what's called "Sulfur flowers" at some drug stores (usually a compounding pharmacy) or online. Cheap and easy. Put some in an old sock and keep that in a sour cream container or the like-dust your boots with it.. But also...you can ingest it!! About a match head size of the sulfur powder mixed with molasses...age old remedy. Research "treacle " for more info.

30 years ago I'd get a big container of yellow sulfur powder from the pharmacy, then I'd dust my skin and edged areas of clothing (around the neckline, the tucked in pants legs, the wrist-cuffs, etc.). Never had a problem. Who knows what that did to my health, though.

Sulphur is used in the processes that repair damaged DNA in our cells and protect cell DNA from damage like UV light from the sun or trace chemicals in our diets from certain plants etc. Like that guy said just don't breathe it. I also wouldn't be eating straight sulfur. Otherwise it wont hurt you. Thats like being hurt by carbon, i also would not breathe in coal dust or eat coal either e

I served as an Infantryman back in the 70's. We never tucked our pants into our boots, we used Blousing bands. Also, we wore cammies, and the long jacket was never tucked into our pants. We did use the military-supplied bug juice or the civilian bug sprays. I did hear about some dudes using flea collars under the laces or around their boots. I also heard stories about Rangers wearing a pair of their wifes' pantyhose when out in the field. The reason is that it kept the ticks and chiggers off. The pantyhose was warm like long johns and the pantyhose dries quickly when walking through swamps.

Agree. Pine straw @ Camp Shelby in Alabama was much worse with ticks and chiggers than in the Amazon Jungle in August, but you don't tuck your pant's in your boots if you use LPCs for their intended use. Boot blousing needs to be done right, but you learn. Clorox fixes anything else.

Come spring I start slipping it in my morning coffee a teaspoon a day ether all at once or here an there ... Takes about 3 days to get into your system but after that and with steady use nothing... Occasionally a skeeter will try but leave quickly after getting a taste they don't want to fill up ... Para cord around your pants leg does a good job an long socks ... It's that time of year always wear "Snake Boots" !!! Their cheap insurance !!!

@@rhymeswithteeth dawn regulat works well. I live in Nova Scotia (tick central). I comb diluted dawn into my cats fur with a flea comb. Even in prime tick season not one tick gets on their body. Nor fleas. I don’t use any flea/tick meds for them at all. I KNOW it works…as I can’t comb their ear fur or the short hair around their eyes, I DO find the odd tick in these places. But as they’re so visible I just unplug them when the cats come home. As a force of habit, I also always comb their body with the flea comb again when they get back from their adventures. I’m not lying to when I say zero ticks or fleas. And as I have had Lyme (brutal and extreme but thankfully it was treated within a week of the bit) I take tick deterrence very seriously. For my garden (which is a deer hangout spot) I spray dawn/water with a sprinkle of both rosemary and cedar essential oils -15 drops of each to approx 1 litre of dawn mixture. I spray this on any tree or plant where the deer saunter. This method is also super effective to keep them outta your garden.

I'm on antibiotics for tick bites. All above my waist. Once the antibiotics are done, I'll go in for a blood test to see if my body has higher levels of antibodies that are produced to fight off disease. The 3 bites are above my waste because I wear women's panty hose under my pants. 100% protection on 50% of your body. No more dropping your pants to check if you're feeling a drop of sweat, a thread or a tick touch your skin. I've picked them out of everywhere before I started with the panty hose.
