The clothes don't have to be soaked. Contact with a few molecules is all it takes and spraying until the surface appears damp is sufficient. The ticks do have to make contact. Consider rolling up the bottom 6" of pant legs.

Space blankets work well too. They reflect your heat back at you and can be used for emergency warmth if needed. If spread loosely they don't get ripped. They are about 6' x 8' and we tuck them under the edges of the tent so as to avoid runoff being caught and channeled under the tent. :)

So I saw your comment on that pillow washing video and I now have a question: Is that shirt you're wearing in this video canvas, wool, or some other ridiculous and expensive fabric? Because you only have the best of the best, correct? Those were your words. So I had to ask: What does a clothing snob wear while hanging a hammock? Just curious. You seem very invested in your clothing and the other things that you have acquired. Especially when telling other people how to wash their pillows.

Wow its too bad this happened to your van, never got to see this in daylight before, glad all were safe, guess bears are everywhere, our districts had a lot of bears this year due to wildfires pushing them to town and causing havoc looking for food, they were sleeping on garages , taking out fruit trees and trying to taxi in vehicles.

I never mess with bears after my encounter in the middle of the night in the Green Swamp....sometimes when I camp alone I still get some bear anxiety. A ranger once told me a story about a bear that tore up a car in the mountains of South Carolina and the only thing in the car was a roll of peppermints and it tore up the car for that they have an amazing sense of smell

Black bears don’t scare me as much as grizzlies. But any close bear encounter is enough to keep most people up.

We used to have a bear where I lived that also found out how to use car handles, he went on a multi week crime spree, letting himself into unlocked cars on our road. Then one day he found out that he could grab the top of the door frame and peal it down as easy as I'd bend a small tree branch.. That night 3 cars had their doors folded open. Not long after the game warden came and captured him, he was relocated far into state land.
