BURN SAGE IN YOUR CAMPFIRE TO HELP REPEL MOSQUITOESMosquitoes can dampen an otherwise great camping experience. Knowing how to repel them, even without slathering yourself in hazardous levels of bug repellent, is a great skill to have when camping.

Take along a few bundles of sage the next time you go camping. Then, when the sun is setting and the campfire is going, burn a bit of sage with your fire. Or for a longer-lasting effect, set the sage on fire and let it smolder and smoke by the edge of the campfire. Mosquitoes are naturally repelled by sage smoke, and you’ll find a lot less of them buzzing around you.
