@killeroy154 Really? I could just imagine how your daughter reacted whenever she would see you do that. I always reacted looking so grossed at my dad. Lol! But those were some of the most memorable moments of my childhood years. I'm from the Philippines by the way. The rainy season here begins...

Wow! I'm really learning a lot from this forum. :) Just like @killeroy154, I actually use a garlic clove in repelling mosquitoes away because they don't like the smell of garlic. We also have an electric fly swatter at home but I don't usually bring them with me when we go camping. It just adds...

Hi @missyify! :) Well, I'm not really an expert when it comes to this but I do think that you're doing it right by choosing athletic clothes because they don't restrict movement and most athletic clothes I know of allow the movement of air into the skin, which helps dry the skin from sweat. I...

Hi @killeroy154! :) Thank you so much for the warm welcome. Anyway, I just remembered when I was younger, we would usually spend a lot of time indoors because of frequent rains. Rainy season here is at its peak during the month of June and during this time, a lot of June Beetles come out. My...

OMG! I'm really wary when it comes to bugs and all sorts of insects. Just the thought of them makes my me feel so grossed. :eek: But I guess that if I put myself in a survival situation where the only choice I have is to eat bugs for me to be able to live, then maybe I would do it. But just like...

Just merely looking at the pictures gives me the creeps. I'm a real scaredy-cat so scary places and things do creep me out. This reminds me of the film "The Blairwitch Project", which I believe was based on a true story. The place actually looks similar to the setting of the movie. I'm not...

@SashaS I can totally relate with you. I too am anxious about creatures that might be lurking in bodies of water. I guess much of my fear has something to do with my fondness of watching documentaries from National Geographic that really makes me think twice or even thrice before embarking on...

I also agree that a balm is good for preventing chafing while hiking but I remember my doctor telling me that it is no longer advisable to apply a balm when the chafing is already there. Just like what @happyflowerlady said, I have also proven that the creams and ointments they use for diaper...
