How To Camp Like A Pro With These DIY Hacks

Keep mosquitoes away with sage

What animal do you fear most in the forest? If you see movies like “The Revenant” or “Into the Wild,” you probably think of bears or, like most people, maybe you’re scared of snakes. And, yes, while the risk may be there, you’re more likely to encounter a cloud of blood-thirsty mosquitoes.

If you want to sleep without mosquitoes driving you up the wall, you should have a repellent in your bag. But if you’re up for trying something much more natural, you can use sage. How? Throw a bunch and toss it on a bonfire. If you have enough, do it once an hour and forget about mosquitoes overnight.
