Peter -

I've been fortunate to not have had a problem with insects in the past, however, I know that when they're out, they can be legendary.

Do you and your boys have any tips for keeping them out of the boat when you're camping? Have you had any luck using citronella candles and/or the like?

I have a full chemical and physical arsenal (bug sprays, mosquito netting) that I purchased for the Isle Royale trip, and when we got there there were no bugs. Apparently they went on vacation when we did! :D

I'm wondering if you've had any firsthand experience with "the battle of the bug" and care to share any "key learnings" from that experience. That is, if you're not shell-shocked from the experience still.

Dave
