Maybe ticks and chiggers are just attracted to certain body odors......... I will be out on the Mullica River Trail, this Saturday if anyone is interested in a long day hike.

Did this hike Saturday and did not get any ticks or chiggers. Also saw several others out on the Batona.

Oh.. I got spray for clothing........And 100% Deet for any exposed skin......Any which way only a couple weeks left till my hike and I am amped.The Pine Barrens is a place like no other.

Anyone hear of these stories or care to share?

I am gonna be down in the Pines this weekend to survey the bug situation..But I did take your guys advice and got some spray for the clothes

No really........He hiked at Lebanon Saturday..........No spray......No ticks...No chiggers......... I was up at the Stonetown Circular near Wanaque and no ticks.....but after went over to the Torne and had a couple ticks on me there....

On of my buddies did a hike at Lebanon Saturday..No bug spraqy at all and not one tick or chigger.....You guys are pulling my leg...........

I was wondering what everyone drags along with them in the outdoors. I use to carry everything but the kitchen sink now I carry duct tape and tweezers and thats about it.

Funny because I have been using Ultrathon the past couple years when I feel it is needed and I have been tickless and LYME free. also I am tested once a year. And that product only uses 34% deet.........

After my past couple Pines hikes. I will be wearing a nice coat of 100% deet and hiking with tweezers in hand. I am opting out of carrying a purifier and instead will refill at Batso, Batona Campsite Area and at Pakim Pond..I carry a 3 liter reservoir and may add 2 nalgene bottles to the mix...

Is this whole trail the yellow trail?

Depends on the friend........how fast you hike and how fast they hike... I prefer hiking/backpacking alone unless I am confident the other person/people will either keep the same pace or hike faster...... Also knowing basic first aid and cpr is a plus in a hiking partner....Weird things can...

fROM A MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL SITE. Mount Misery Trail (aka White Trail): The trail links up with the Cranberry trail. There is some elevation gain (60 feet) to the south where there are opportunities for biking on higher, more compact soil. This trail has many branches which can cause some confusion.
