Heeeeeey! Only a week left!

I'm making a fuel run for Dutch tomorrow. Who else needs what fuel, and how much?

PM me.

Oh, and don't forget mosquito repellent. The more aggressive flood mosquito (rather than the more common forest mosquito) is apparently living it up after all the rains and floods. Swede? Comment? Is it bad or superbad?

It is completely normal mosquito activity, that news article was to scare tourists and noobs out of the forest

Yes, mosquito repellant and a hammock bug net are really important. Will the mosquitos be unnaturally viscious? No worse than normal I say, was out yesterday picking mushrooms for two hours, used a little spray and got one little bite. And a full basket of mushrooms

I hear that the mosquitos in the north of Sweden will beat you down and carry you away....

Well, you never know. Southerners collapse every time there's snow, or wind, or rain, or some kind of weather at all.

Northern mosquitos will steal your wallet and drive to the Bahamas.

I think you have us southerners confused with Americans, who clowe their schools when it snows 2cm.

So I have booked two taxis for next week.

70 SEK per person, my family will be driving our own car, in case there is any emergency shopping that needs to be done in the morning, and to make sure our dog gets there all right.

They will pick us up at our house at 9.30am and drive us over to the canoe dock.
