bug repellent, odd resource

[Wizardventures]

I like the recipe for the most part, but the addition of pelts seems like an odd one, and not exactly viable for those who do not wish to visit the tundra.
I understand it from a designer perspective but from a player perspective I think it would make more sense to change it to something grown more locally.

Why not make it fungi or introduce onions.

Pelts make some sense actually since many animals can secrete chemicals that help reduce insect pests on them. The regular grooming that these animals also did prior to their deaths also would help keep bugs at bay.

but animals that have pelts. generally dont have to deal with insects....now if it were a PLANT related resource than that would make sense.
