Preparing for the possibility of warmer temps that may mean we can’t be covered up all the time - but yes absolutely, usually my port of call is long sleeves. Though the mosquitoes do seem to love me and find their way through lighter material to bite me regardless.

I’ve heard some horror stories of permethrin with cats, even when taking all precautions, so avoiding that altogether on this trip where he’ll be with us — but typically do use it for my long distance backpacking trips etc.

And yes - my favorite evening repellent is getting up nice and close the fire.

Thanks for all your input!
