I grew up using Ben's and Muskol 100% DEET in Bush Alaska. I have used this product with success in HI and mellow parts of the lower 48, but question the efficacy in the most infested regions. Can anyone attest with experience in the Bush or 100 mile woods etc?

The main difference between the 30 and the 100 is the length of time it works. With the 30, you'll have to reapply more often if your out in the bush all day.

I use ben's 100% deet in the eastern minnesota area just off of the mississippi river. I stick with the 100 over the 30 here because the mosquitoes are thick. Last summer I went on an overnighter south of Lake City. It had rained the 2 previous nights and was 89F and extremely humid that day, no breeze. The mosquitoes and flies were horribly thick.. but the Ben's 100 did the job. It didn't last the full 10 hours like specified as I was sweating it off in about 3-4 hours.
