Andrew Skurka - Katika pakiti yangu: Vitu sita vya Mvua na Ticks huko West Virginia

Kwa joto katika miaka ya 40 hadi 60, natarajia mbu wengine. Lakini nina wasiwasi zaidi juu ya ticks - Mei ni wakati mkuu kwao, na katikati ya Atlantic ni kitovu cha ugonjwa wa Lyme kulingana na CDC.

Njia bora zaidi ya kuondoa ticks ni mavazi ya kufunika kamili (yaani shati ya muda mrefu na suruali, na suruali iliyoingizwa kwenye soksi) iliyotibiwa na permethrin, ambayo inaweza kuwa na chapa kama Ngao ya wadudu, BugsAway, Kizuia wadudu, au sawa. Hiyo itakuwa mavazi yangu mwishoni mwa Juni kwa safari zaidi katika safu ya Brooks, lakini ninajitahidi kufikiria mavazi hayo katika Mashariki ya mvuke.

Andrew Skurka

I’m a 41-year-old adventure athlete, guide, and writer, and live in Boulder, Colo. with my wife Amanda and two feline fur children, Esmerelda and Luxor.

As a twenty-something I was a prolific long-distance thru-hiker. My most notable trips were the:

  • Alaska-Yukon Expedition (6 months, 4,700 miles),
  • Great Western Loop (7 months, 6,875 miles), and the
  • Sea-to-Sea Route (11 months, 7,775 miles).

Before and between these trips, I completed a number of smaller ones, including the Appalachian Trail, Colorado Trail, John Muir Trail, and Hayduke Trail.
