Well,
My last trip out I was sprayed down good, and also kept a bottle of liquid repellent..THOSE darn things although they didn't bite were all over my clothes looking for a weak spot in the fabric..At 2:30AM this morning.

I drove to Wally and picked up the holster, thermo cell and extra assessories ..I'll try that baby out. I'll be putting it to the test in 2 hours..
