I usually keep a bottle of picardin in a backpack in my car. For some reason I decided to leave it at home when I went to the NH rodeo and quickly regretted it. I was in a softop and had it down for like 5 minutes before I got a couple of bites. Top up. Windows up, except when I had to listen to the instructor.No Off in your off road box? are you really from MI?I have bug spray in everything I own, including my golf bag!

This in turn, allowed a hasty decision to take a new line through an extremely unforgiving obstacle.
Mistakes were made.
Glad you were able to get it out! The pride will heal and you will laugh about it one day.
