Today, step back and enjoy these moments with nature. Today shows a couple of bucks stocking up on food so they have energy for the rut. There's also a doe with her fawns. It is so much fun being able to photograph all these deer. Have you subscribed yet? Thank you if you have.

Lots of chlorine here! What's my trail name? OSAT pronounced “Oh S-Ahhh-t” (One Step At a Time) and that is how I’ll get to Maine. You may see me use OSAT JLO sometimes because my nickname at work was JLO.

If you hike in the woods where ticks, mosquitoes, chiggers and other nasty critters lurk, it’s a good idea to get your clothing treated with Permethrin by a company called Insect Shield. They treat military clothing and also sell hiking and outdoor clothing. “But I can treat it myself with Permethrin. “ Yes you can but it won’t last through 70 laundering’s and it will have an odor. For $79.95 USD (2021), they will send you a large envelope with a prepaid FedEx label on it. You fill it up and FedEx picks it up at your home. They’ll treat it and send it back to you via FedEx.

Then there’s the cost of buying permethrin and you can’t carry the leftover with you. It’s too heavy. With all the ticks on the Appalachian Trail, I’m trusting my health to Insect Shield. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0iOLqlwcK0
