Seems like a bit of a drift to focus on skeeters for a guy trying to find the right shelter and pack, but I'll bite. What's "regular" DEET? Is it better to put on a lot of 87 Octane or a little less of 92 Octane? I think its more important to avoid skin contact and spray it on clothes, hats, and bandanas and cover up as much as possible. A 1 oz head net is a sanity saver.
What the heck is your Yosemite link talking about, Akichow, "oil of lemon of eucalyptus?" Is that lemon or eucalyptus? I might be confused, but a determined Sierra mosquito won't really care, it will bite through any fruit or vegetable offered, in my experience anyway.
