Wore you out? Hell, it damn near killed me a couple of times. And,
yes, the skeeters and black flies are bad. A buff around the neck and
ears, a little deet on the forehead and cheeks, long sleeves with
gloves, and you are protected. Buffs are a must.

They burn mosquito coils in the camps. It's funny seeing a mosquito
flying along and suddenly going into a nose dive. Very cartoonish.
And, a mosquito net is used over the beds. Comfortable digs with a
wood stove and lots of hot water.
