Calling Andrew Breecher

[ozone]

Practical question here: how did you keep the mosquitoes away from the more sensitive bits?

I have thought about hiking in a kilt, but I remember from previous experience that the JMT, for example, had quite a few mosquitoes and other nasties lurking in the woods. It was hard enough in pants, netting and with repellent.

Just keep on walking. Your legs are brushing against each other, so there's no problem with mosquitoes. And believe me, there were plenty of them in the Sierra! While I often had mosquitoes all over my arms and legs, I never had an issue with them "under my kilt." DEET works wonders as well.
