My now husband and I went on our first camping trip together a year after we started dating. Quite a few things were forgotten when packing our stuff and bug spray was one of them. We arrived at our campsite after what seemed like forever driving and started to set up our tent. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong and to top it all off the mosquitos were swarming. There is nothing that I hate more than being covered in bites and my mood was not the greatest by that point. Enough was enough so we headed out to find bugspray. I remember growing up that my Dad swore by Muskol so we picked up a can (convenience store prices are not pretty) and headed back to our site. I was in a horrible mood with all that had gone wrong earlier and was ready to just head home. My husband insisted that we stay and that things would get better so we loaded up with Muskol and finshed setting up our site. Thankfully the mosquitos left us alone and we were able to relax for the rest of our evening. Sitting by the fire that night, with the light of the fire flickering all around us my husband proposed!!! Telling me that he would always be there to take care of me... and to never forget the bugspray. It wasnt the most romantic proposal but it gave us a good story to tell when we got home. We have been married for 5 years now and couldnt be happier. I guess I have to thank Muskol for letting that night happen because without it we would have gone home. LOL
