Any major suggestions for a lightweight way to beat the bugs? My girlfriend and I are beginning our hike in June and are already carrying bug head nets for the black flies in Maine, but I'm a mosquito magnet. Probably enough of one that as long as she's standing near me, she wont have to worry about it. I generally take some crazy 40% deet stuff on shorter hikes, but that usually comes in a larger aerosol can. I've tried the wipes, and the little deals you wear on your pocket, but nothing but that super power deet spray seems to work. Any other ideas?

Hike starts June 21st!
