Terrific information! I'm currently being treating for Lyme's disease. What a disabling disease! 21 days of antibiotics will hopefully get me back on track. We need more research on this terrible disease!!! Northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan are seeing many cases of Lyme's at present, so pass the word. Sincerely, Ossie
I'm allergic to mosquito bites and I'll be going to Sarek in the swedish wilderness in the end of july... This will surely save my life, thank you very much!
Another great video Annie and Dave !! For the update of this video you guys should try Picaridin instead of DEET and include the Poodle Dog Bush that is making a lot of people itch !! in the west at least !!
Always thought is was CO2 mosquitos were interested in, but it's the ammonia.... thanks for that.. Always super informative. I've been sub'd for a while now.... your channel is a 'go-to'.
Get and use a tick key on ticks. Most people can't use tweezers without squeezing the tick and making it regurgitate back into the wound. The tick key will pull the tick without putting any pressure on it.
Hey dave. I really enjoy (all) your movies. 7 years ago i started bushcrafting, but recently i really started to enjoyed hiking and i learned so much from you. Why dont you post some movies from your own trips? It would be fun to watch. Thanks for the education!
Dave, I just adore your vids that I find as highly interesting as way much useful! Keep on doing such a great work, partner. Need some help with Russian version? Just let me know, all right? Happy trails and new inspiration. Cheers fron Siberia!
+MrRetiJunior I believe that's a cut from the track "nevergreen" off his album "safe in the steep cliffs." Excellent album. All his other stuff is great too. Highly recommended.
If you walk through poison ivy, how do you deal with your boots? Assuming the boot and the laces are covered with the oils of the plant, and I need to keep wearing them for a few days.
Hmm, good question. I'd avoid touching them until you can get home and properly clean them. Not a great answer, but really it comes down to avoiding poison ivy as much as possible.
If you are stung by a bee you should never pull on the stinger as you can squeeze it to release more venom, use a credit card or something similar to swipe it out.
From what I've read, that's a common misconception. It's actually better to just get it out as quick as possible. Otherwise you'll waste time looking for a credit card.
You should never pull a stinger out you're likely just to push it back in further the solution is to scratch the skin this will pull it out but only scratched one way or this won't be effective
Love your channel, I'm from Brazil and I'm going to Canada. The videos helped me and my husband to plan our trip to Rockies!!!1

If you get stung by stinging nettles use the juice from the root of a braken fern
Good tip!
Your welcome

If you are stung by a bee you should never pull on the stinger as you can squeeze it to release more venom, use a credit card or something similar to swipe it out.

+Dave Collins (CleverHiker) Yes, I have read that as long as the stinger is in you, it keeps delivering venom. So take it out as fast as you can!
I have never been stung by a bee.... I have no IDE
Any allergies at all? A doctor could run some tests also.
You should never pull a stinger out you're likely just to push it back in further the solution is to scratch the skin this will pull it out but only scratched one way or this won't be effective
Okay, I don't think that's the common wisdom these days.
We used to use a credit card
