r/Outdoors

Have taken a couple of trips recently to Hoosier NF and Daniel Boone NF and the amount of tick activity has been very concerning. Been camping and exploring forests most of my life and have never seen so many.

Please go out prepared and be very vigilant, check your body (everywhere) and then check again multiple times a day.

This constant need to be aware however is kind of ruining some of the fun of getting out there. Hate these little bastards.

From our trip to the mountains, (1-3) me, (4-8) my wife.

Floated 30 miles over two days with some friends for my birthday/4th of July.
