[pct-l] Bug net and dope in SOCAL??

[gwschenk at socal.rr.com]

In 25 years of hiking and backpacking in SoCal, I've never used bug dope or a headnet. Mosquitoes need water to breed! Of course, there might be isolated incidents, but the main bug issue will be ticks and gnats. Those gnats love to hover in flocks right in your face. Annoying, to say the least.

YMMV, HTH, etc.
