worked great for getting all the bugs out of my tarptent…just opened the door and then used my insoles to herd the bugs right out. also good for swatting some of the ones that wanted to stay. good item to use that you will already have with you.
On short hikes/expeditions (in my backyard) I like to bring along my big, fluffy kitty cat "Mr Bibbels". Oh he likes to swat at those pesky flying insects in our kitty kamp with his fluffy wuffy kitty paws, it's just the darndest thing.
