I live in an area infested with ticks. Going out with into fields/woods with no protection means pulling dozens at a minimum, though my neighbor pulled over 100 off a couple weeks ago.
My solution is elastic gaiters and using permetharin as bug spray. I don't get ticks anymore.
I'm also kind of allergic to ticks, and if I get bit, it itches so bad for about two weeks that topical lidocaine is the only way I've found to get some relief.
I will say, I work ambulance for a very right wing rural community. I have done this for a number of years now.

I've been using proton for several years and have not found it annoying.
Not sure what you've heard is annoying.
I spent 6 months living in a tent 200 yards away from the centerline of a runway with large 4 engine aircraft landing regularly. I have a wicked case of tinnitus, hearing aids, and no ruptured ear drums.
University surplus is where they sell any and all items no longer needed by the school.
Though, I have also had some really good luck on govdeals for some stuff
I bought my color laser printer from the local university surplus store for $20...
A "Glass-Master" is what I used in the fire service. Goes a lot faster than you would think.

That's the actual medical term for it.
