Since moving to the woods we have had to battle flying bugs of all kinds every time we go outside. We now have a collection of products to help protect against and eliminate these pests so we can safely play outside and explore our new property in the woods! Below you will find seven types of gear to make outdoor play safe and enjoyable!

Rubber Boots– Soon after we moved it became clear that if we wanted to explore the woods on our property we would want some rubber boots. There is a little stream that flows on our land and I am itching to start exploring it! Tall boots like rubber boots are also another level of protection against ticks. By tucking your pants into your socks and boots you can prevent ticks from crawling up your legs and attaching themselves there. We bought Caden a pair from Target similar to these from Amazon.

That certainly must take some getting used to! These are useful to have on hand for a hike as well!
Samantha,
These are great ideas! I’m featuring this post on the Thoughtful Spot tomorrow. Thanks for linking up such a wonderful resource!
Those are some really good suggestions! We wouldn’t get by without our rain boots, that’s for sure, and I like that the insect repellants you suggest are DEET free. Our kids’ polyurethane mud pants are also in heavy rotation, and for colder climates I’d consider snow pants an essential for getting outside as well. Popping over from the #outdoorplayparty.
Thanks! This gear this is for spring/summer, I really should make a list of what we use in winter because it’s totally different!
