DEET, a head net, and light gloves. Beans, rice, pasta, dried fruit, spices, oat meal/cream of wheat, powdered milk/eggs, etc.
We have never done the water filtering stuff. More bulk and horridly slow.
From FEMA and Red Cross: “You can use household liquid bleach to kill microorganisms. Use only regular household liquid bleach that contains 5.25 to 6.0 percent sodium hypochlorite. Do not use scented bleaches, colorsafe bleaches, or bleaches with added cleaners. Because the potency of bleach diminishes with time, use bleach from a newly opened or unopened bottle. Add 16 drops (1/8 teaspoon) of bleach per gallon of water, stir and let stand for 30 minutes. The water should have a slight bleach odor. If it doesn’t, then repeat the dosage and let stand another 15 minutes.
A small 6 oz squirt bottle will do camp for weeks.
Do find some sort of sheltering/windbreak cover to camp in.
