安德鲁-斯库尔卡 - 我的背包里:西弗吉尼亚州防雨防虱六件宝

由于气温在 40 度到 60 度之间,我预计会有一些蚊子。但我更担心蜱虫--五月是蜱虫的黄金季节,根据美国疾病预防控制中心(CDC)的数据,大西洋中部是莱姆病的中心。

驱除蜱虫最有效的方法是穿上经过菊酯处理的全覆盖衣物(即长袖衬衫和裤子,裤子塞进袜子里),菊酯的品牌可能是 Insect Shield、BugsAway、Insect Blocker 或类似产品。这将是我 6 月下旬在布鲁克斯山脉旅行时的装备,但我很难想象这套装备会出现在热气腾腾的东部地区。

安德鲁-斯库尔卡

I’m a 41-year-old adventure athlete, guide, and writer, and live in Boulder, Colo. with my wife Amanda and two feline fur children, Esmerelda and Luxor.

As a twenty-something I was a prolific long-distance thru-hiker. My most notable trips were the:

  • Alaska-Yukon Expedition (6 months, 4,700 miles),
  • Great Western Loop (7 months, 6,875 miles), and the
  • Sea-to-Sea Route (11 months, 7,775 miles).

Before and between these trips, I completed a number of smaller ones, including the Appalachian Trail, Colorado Trail, John Muir Trail, and Hayduke Trail.
