Simple trick to prevent chiggers and ticks.

[Blood Trail]

After reading several posts about people getting chiggers and ticks, along with my recent encounter with chiggers, a memory got jarred from my brain housing group.

In the Marines, most salts would wear pantyhose under our cammies. My first time in the field I laughed at them. It was all fun and games until I had the corpsman pulling ticks off of every little nook and crannie.

After that, I'd always keep a couple pair in my rucksack. This year scouting, better believe I'll have some on.

The pantyhose creates a barrier that the mouthparts of ticks and chiggers can't penetrate. Plus, you don't have to use a lot of smelly bug juice that could bust ur hunt.

Now I know they're some "tuff guys" on here that will snub their noses and make jokes, but at the end of the day, my manly parts will be bug free!

we just use sulphur- take an old sock dump some sulphur in it tie the top and dust yourself around your pants

Sounds like a cool tip to me!

Be sure to get the vanilla colored, full panty kind. Thigh highs wont work.

Better get a pedicure before trying this so your toe nails don't create a runner in your hose!

I kid. There are companies that sell this basic product as an undergarment. But they are probably a good bit more expensive than a set of Leggs panty hose.

Then you walk around in the woods smelling like farts.

I just spray my boots and sock and pants legs, works for me. Panty hose get hot! Not that I would know lol

Neat tip. I mostly just use sulphur but I forget to reapply after sweating a lot.

What I've found is when I got out with jeans, boots, and long sleeve shirts chiggers eat my arse up. Go out it in shorts, tshirt and deck shoes and I get none.

Deep woods off works wonders also.

Leon, A good friend of mine used to hunt way up north, in the dead of winter, and wore Leggs as a baselayer.

He swore they kept him from frost bite.
