[MENTION=23180]axle2152[/MENTION], you are right asbout eing careful not to over exert yourself. But I think you should keep doing small hike by way of acclimitization and then you will be ready for fall.
As for deet, you could try dabbing it on you clothes instead of your skin. You are right. It is icky.
Have you read about the use of hot peppers to deal with cramping. I saw an article on google news the other day. Apparently athletes are now using them. Very interesting. Peppers can be light and would easily snug into your pack. A great way liven up camp food, too!
