I admit I run 100% deet in the bug season. I don't even consider the
equipment because without it I could not be there. If there is a
doubt in any of you I will dig up the bug audio to prove it.
To help the recording I run a white windscreen during the worst. I
have fielded strange questions from some of the best seasoned people
about my white windscreen. I still use it but now only for 2 months
out of the year, that being "bug season".
Next week I go into the worst. I either setup to work it, or set up
for remote and run.
