You don't need more than 35 percent DEET. The stuff is toxic as hell, so go with as little as possible. The DoD did a study and found that 24 percent DEET was as effective for 5 hours as 100 percent DEET. The 100 percent DEET is effective for 4 times longer, though. The trick is to get something to slow down the evaporation of DEET, while keeping the concentration as low as possible to be optimal. I prefer Picaridin to DEET for safety, but when in Lyme country, I'll use 3M's Ultrathon, which is a 35 percent DEET with a time-release that makes it good for 12 hours. It's the same as what the US military gets. Exactly the same.

I put the deet. on my clothes hat and shoes or boots. I put it on my skin back about 1970 but I learned not to do that.
I'll have to post photo of cookset, it just boils water and has 2 one cup plastic cups in it, later as I'm out shopping. I have been leaving one of the cups at home.
