From the Pacific Crest Trail, Oregon, USA two weeks ago from a hiker in full bug netting, head to boots, after just 20 hours of hiking:
"Mosquitoes are forever.
The leg fatigue goes away when you rest; the mosquitoes are 24/7
The thirst goes away when you drink; the mosquitoes are 24/7
The 90 degree heat ebbs at dust; the mosquitoes are 24/7
The bad liteweight food nourishes; the mosquitoes are 24/7
The 38 pound pack weight lightens daily as food is consumed; the mosquitoes are 24/7
Just before I decided to hike out, I met a southbound hiker who had spent the last 8 nights cooking in his tent to escape the bugs--and waiting until his body was in agony before dressing in full rain gear to leave and go to the bathroom. And he noted that the bugs were even worse a few days north in Sisters Wilderness. This was as I was looking at about one mosquito per square inch resting on my bug suit.
SO, in keeping with 'discomfort, yes; misery no,' I am back home."
