Camping is one of the best things you can do this time of the year, but there is one thing that can ruin any trip: mosquitos. You can pitch thebest tent, buy thebest lightweight sleeping bagand walk around in thebest hiking boots; nothing will protect you from these pesky insects. There is one thing that might, though; certain herbs wrapped in aluminium foil.
Next time you buy herbs you usually use for seasoning over baked turkey, set a bunch of sage and rosemary aside for your next camping trip. All you have to do is to make a little campfire first, then wet the herbs a bit so they don’t burn, warp them in aluminium foil, poke a few holes in the foil and chuck the bundle on the fire. “Burning them not only smells great, but it drives insects nuts and wards them off,” saysHPC Fire Inspired.
