OnFire said:I've got some great ideas off this thread guys, thanks. I like the idea of using a collapsible bowl, or a flannel out of a mug. I wasn't sure if it would be better to ask this on a bushcraft forum instead, but it looks like theres a lot of experienced outdoorsmen on here. With regards to the stick, what do you guys think of Arko instead of palmolive? I've never tried it but hear its citronella, which could help keep the mossies away.

Have you thought about a citrus based EDT, or a Lemon cologne, they may last a little longer scent wise.

What do you have in mind? Knowing my luck, I'll pick something that'll have them swarming me.

Just searched eBay how about this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SELIN-LEMON-COLOGNE-TURKISH-KOLONYA-200ml-PVC-BOTTLE-/200918737122?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Fragrances_Men_s_Fragrances_Aftershave_PP&hash=item2ec7b0a0e2
It seems to be documented that lemon cologne keeps mossies at bay, worth a punt ?
OnFire said:Thanks for that. That stuff looks good. I'll do some searches on it and see what people think of it. It looks well established in Turkey so I can imagine its worth the money considering how cheap it is- I found a litre bottle of the stuff for £9 on Amazon! I've always liked citrus scents so I may just take a chance on it.
My dogs an English working cocker spaniel. Hes got the springer colours and look, but quite a bit smaller. And yes, hes absolutly mental. Speaking of which, the poor ol boy is off to the vets tomorrow for an operation that he'll never forgive me for...

Meanwhile, back in the real world, I don't shave when camping...:blush:
