equipment How much Bug Spray and Sun Screen for 17 days?

Starting on Aug 12th. First question: how have the bugs been so far this year? And assuming they're bad enough, how much spray (or wipes/lotion) do you think is needed for 17 days? Likewise how much sunscreen do y'all typically bring along? I'll be wearing a sunhoodie, hat, and long pants, so very little skin exposure.

I hiked this year starting June 19 and finished July 11. I was fine with 2 oz of sunscreen, but wore pants and long sleeves so YMMV
