Question

If you're stuck in the wilderness with no supplies, what can you do to repel mosquitoes?

Answer 1

Keep your body temperature lower if possible.  Fan youreslf with a big leaf.  Build a fire, and keep a torch with you since they don't like fire/smoke.  If they come near you, just burn them.  

Hopefully you are wearing pants and a long sleeve shirt as well.  

Answer 2

Um the only thing iv tried is putting on a thin layer of mud. iv seen people use urine.

Answer 3

they hate lavender.

other effective methods are mud on the skin (it just serves as a good cover they don't want to mess with) and smoke.

Answer 4

rub sticks make a fire, smoke keeps em away i think

Answer 5

First of all, stay cool, sweat has a potent smell or attraction, the cooler you are the less likely they will come, i have heard of people using mud, natural fish oils on them, other methods might be fires, steam, the heat of it might keep them away. Just a guess

Answer 6

Make a fly swatter out of a twig and leaf :)

my brother says to p**p in an area far from camp and run away LOL
