Mosquito Protection Plan | Live Free or Die

I try to use insect repellants that are natural, so my number one ingredient is hogard. Next is genuine old-fashioned turpentine. That, my friends, is insect repellent. There's a couple other things I might mix in with it, but that's a secret. So, I think I'm in pretty good shape, and if they get on me, hopefully they'll leave, go tell their buddies, "Leave this dude alone, man, he's got it figured [Music] out!"

There are 63 different species of mosquitoes in Georgia. Living in an open-air fishing deck just above the swamp gives Frontiersman Cobbert little protection from their nocturnal wrath. It's just hard to sleep with mosquitoes climbing all over your ears, in your eyes, and up your nose. The higher I get, the less they bother me.

So, the Treehouse is a place for me to stay when the river's flooded, and it's a place for me to stay when the mosquitoes get really bad. But the ladder, I didn't design that for everyday use. It's hard to climb that ladder with your arm full of stuff.

So, I've been playing this image in my mind of building a suspension bridge as a primary access point from this beam to my treehouse. It's time to build my suspension bridge. It's a challenge; it's a lot of work, but I got to protect myself from mosquitas.
