Propane Camping Stoves Dedicated for the camping lovers trying to find that perfect camping stoves

Yes all that stuff attracts insects but if its cold enough (55 or below), you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.

Leave all that stuff at home. True, no bugs in the winter. But those sweet smells can attract other critters that are still active in the winter.

Leave them at home. Beside the critter attraction problems, living and sleeping in the close confines of a stuffy tent enhances the smell of anything on or around you. In cold or rainy weather especially, scents that you might like under ordinary circumstances can become intolerable. I knew two guys who cooked their dinner in camp using fresh garlic that got in their hands and clothes. They had to zip up their tent tight when it rained in the night and the build-up of the smell from the garlic got so bad that one of them got sick and they had to open the tent up to ventilate — they got wet but it was better than suffocating from the smell. And I shared a tent with someone once who was using a flowery moisturizer that eventually mixed with the smell of her sweat and created a really sour stench — I had to ask her to stop using it. Unscented is the way to go with everything you can in camp.

Just think of how bad it is to be stuck beside someone in a crowded elevator who is wearing perfume and you’ll understand what I mean.

not only will attract bugs but wild animals may think its smells tastey
