Have fun in da great outdoors.
Safe, almost-natural insect repellent: mint oil + iso alcohol.
Since you're doing an injun party, there's bound to be burning sage -- that stuff works well, too.
Also, if you had given me a couple of weeks' notice, I could've recommended you start taking thiamine (vitamin B1) a couple times a day. Apparently, it causes your skin to take on an odor that's undetectable to humans, but smells nasty to pregnant mosquitoes.
Back in the bowhunting days, anything that caused "human" smells was verboten in camp. Even went vegetarian prior to hunting trips to eliminate the carnivore smell. Who knows if any of it worked -- if the wind is blowing towards you, you can smell like a diesel engine and they won't detect you. Still, it was fun to pretend.
