the older i get the wimpier my body gets, shorts and t shirts all weekend in the glades as a youngster, walking around with wet jeans no ball or ass rash and then long pants,heavy boots ,long sleeves, body armor,helmet,backpack,thigh plates, all while walking miles in 100 plus degrees or in a truck with no ac dripping sweat all day and night long, clothes soaking wet and stinking for days, no issues with bugs or rashes till about 40 years old. today 2 fire ants bite my ankle it swells up and looks like a vampire bit me. ghost rashes that pop up outa nowhere. blew out my acl tripping in hog rooting, push 1 branch outa the way my forearms bleeding, corn starch is one of my emergency items along with cortisone 10 creme and afterbite itch eraser pen in my backpack. im such a puss these days a tick bite would probably kill me .
I’m experiencing the same thing meat. Walking too far on a Saturday through waist deep cypress ponds and across the flat woods, leaves me with leg cramps and miscellaneous cuts and scratches. The funny thing is if I don’t get up and go, I’m a miserable cuss.
Cry babies.. try walking in the woods missing half yor left leg with an attched 20 lbs of carbon fiber and titanium that performs like a boat anchor .... wanna compare scars?
Nope - you win stump! Reminds me of my grandfather, he lost a fight with his stuck dragline and it cost him his leg just below the knee. Tough old dude for sure.

Just messing with ya'll.... Worst I ever got eaten alive was St Mark's during a archery hunt. Shot a deer ans what I thought was a good shot turned into a spot here and spot there blood trail. I was hunting a hammock right on the edge of a salt marsh doing the crawl on the old hands and knees thing looking for blood. I don't know if it was chiggers or red bugs or what but I ended up with 300 to 400 bites on my arms and legs...i was miserable for months from all the bites.
