- Want to see how to make a deer fly trap which is effective, inexpensive as well as unfashionable and kills deerfly so they don't bite you? It will be a gamechanger for you if you ever need to spend time outdoors and you have deer flies buzzing around being pests and tearing chunks of flesh off of you. Making a hat like we will show you will literally make your problem go away!
We have been making and using hats like this for use on our property as well as out on hikes for 7 years now ( eagergridlessb... ) and while they might look silly they really do work! Get rid of pest problems with a blue cup deer fly trap hat!
We are a couple who decided to make a change to the way we were doing things after living a busy life in the city. We sold our house and bought a small camp with 3 acres and have been living simply off grid, offgrid (and gridless) for 14 years and we have not looked back. It’s a work in progress and we have done almost all of the work ourselves and so we thought we would attempt to inform/entertain those who are interested in our projects (and other random thoughts) in the hopes of giving back to other users the way that many vlogs and sites that have aided us along the way.

Thanks! Succinct!
The deer flies love my dogs eye brows and back of the ears. I use a bit of Vaseline for those areas, seems to work and my dogs don't mind. If I don't use something on my dogs by the end of the day their eye brows are usually swollen from deer fly bites. Thanks for the tip....
My dog had many that were on her when far away from A* and her hat but as soon as we get close to her they leave me and the dog to go for the blue hat. Let me know it it works out for ya!
Only she wears it ! She's taking em out SOLO.
Hehe..it is true! I do wear it but it is more of a A* thing! We just made this years..( video soon) and I wear it!
I'm about to try this today. I'm going salmon fishing this weekend and the river has plenty
Hopefully it worked out for you!

Why are you wearing thick socks in summer?
Blister prevention. They were probably already dirty. Was was hiking yesterday in hit weather with merino socks on too!
Wow. Did the pooch freak out at the lake? Nice work.
Yes..a little freak out but not the lake. It was day 2 and it was the first time she went doggo on us. At a lake! ;)
@@EGBeav 🤣🤣🤣
Shout out to the montréal expos hat 👌
..loved those guys but Montreal loves the Habs too much to support the Expos. Too bad..they were my NL team!
@@EGBeav why ruin the chapeau??? you must have had other old hats. it's a classic.

That glue doesn't leak down into your hair?
Not as long as you don't put too much on. The video ask suggests some paper towel just in case. Less is more..start with a smaller amount!
lol awesome
