Metòd ki pi efikas pou repouse tik se rad plen-pwoteksyon (sa vle di chemiz manch long ak pantalon, ak pantalon pike nan chosèt) trete ak pèrmethrin, ki ka mak kòm Ensèk Shield, BugsAway, Ensèk Blocker, oswa menm jan an. Sa pral ekipe mwen an nan fen mwa jen pou plis vwayaj nan Range Brooks yo, men mwen gen difikilte pou imajine ke ekipman nan vapè lès la.

Andrew Skurka

I’m a 41-year-old adventure athlete, guide, and writer, and live in Boulder, Colo. with my wife Amanda and two feline fur children, Esmerelda and Luxor.

As a twenty-something I was a prolific long-distance thru-hiker. My most notable trips were the:

  • Alaska-Yukon Expedition (6 months, 4,700 miles),
  • Great Western Loop (7 months, 6,875 miles), and the
  • Sea-to-Sea Route (11 months, 7,775 miles).

Before and between these trips, I completed a number of smaller ones, including the Appalachian Trail, Colorado Trail, John Muir Trail, and Hayduke Trail.
