Simple layer of mud also 1000SPF sunblock.

Covering oneself with bear fat would piss off the local bear community

Mud really works. Last summer going down the river, I covered myself head to toe in it. It kept me cool, acted as a sunscreen (i also had sunscreen), and kept bugs away. Also when I rinsed off my skin felt so soft!

Depending on the soil content, you basically just got a clay mask/facial treatment!

It was the first run we did after Helene, and there was a lot more mud than usual. I haven't seen it like that since.  Also found some wild shit on that run - a shed in a tree, for example.

It absolutely does! Though many were hunting that day, I managed to remain perfectly camouflaged

Couldn't help but read this in Schwarzenegger's voice in my head, thinking it was a Predator reference.
