Day 51: How to Keep Mosquitoes Off You in the Wild
Skill: Staying Bite-Free Without Bug Spray
Mosquitoes don’t just bug you — they can carry disease, ruin your sleep, and drain your focus. Here’s how to keep them off using nothing but what you find in nature.
What It Does
Stops mosquitoes from biting
Lets you rest, move, and focus
Prevents itchy welts and infection
How to Stop Them
1. Cover Your Skin
Wear long sleeves, pants, and a hat — even in summer.
Go with light colors. Mosquitoes like dark.
2. Use Mud as a Shield
Rub a thin layer of mud on your skin.
Once it dries, mosquitoes won’t bite through it.
3. Burn Green Stuff
Add green leaves or pine needles to your fire.
Thick smoke drives bugs away.
4. Rub Natural Repellent
Crush cedar, pine, mint, or wild garlic and rub on your skin.
The scent helps repel mosquitoes.
5. Pick a Smart Camp Spot
Stay away from still water (mosquito breeding zones).
Camp where there’s a breeze and open space.
6. Smoke Your Shelter
Keep a smoky fire going near where you sleep.
It creates a bug barrier through the night.
Tips
Avoid resting at dawn or dusk — that’s when they swarm.
Keep moving if they start to gather.
Make your shelter tight or smoky to stay protected.
Bottom Line
Mosquitoes can ruin your survival mindset fast.
Use what’s around you — smoke, mud, plants — and you’ll stay bite-free, calm, and clear-headed.
