Hey thanks for the suggestions!

I hadn't thought of the duct-tape, which I already carry.

I think I'll replace my benedryl tablets with the strips in my kit next spring.

Yeah, the stings just startled me cuz I've never reacted and then this year each sting got worse (reaction) and I have many people in my family alleric - and at least two people in the family are life threatening ones.

You are missing an early fall BTW (Fairbanks) though today was just perfect - blue sky, 65ish F. Great change from the rain and smoke of the summer.
