On the Appalachian Trail you're sure to encounter a ton of different insects and here's how I dealt with them. It's tough enough thru hiking the Appalachian Trail and no matter what you'll probably encounter a variety of insects, some of them actually dangerous. Fortunately I got through the trail without any incidence so I wanted to share with you my strategy and how I executed the strategy and the results.
