    I live in northern Ontario and I spend a lot of time in the summer outdoors and there are days where you can be swarmed by mosquitoes.

    When my friends from the city come to visit, they look at me weird for wearing jeans and boots on a hot summer afternoon.

        One of my favourite solutions is to just work furiously with shorts and a t-shirt. Constantly moving keeps the bugs away but you still get bitten quite a bit. Then when you’re done work, you jump into an ice cold lake which soothes all the bug bites on your skin. Then dry off, put on the jeans, boots, long sleeved shirt and sit around the fire.
