update - I now hang my backpack behind my right shoulder in the tree - the thermocell clips onto a loop on the top of my backpack - works great - for skeeters that is - I was pounded by yellow flies for most of the day - those buggers would even land on the thermocell when they weren't harrassing me - the only thing that stops them is killing them - still had a great day in the woods - saw 1 bear, 1 GIANT bobcat, 2 coons, 1 gator, 1 owl picking off a squirrel & several other squirrels - spent 12 hours in my lonewolf - a new record for me - my wife can't imagine spending 12 hours in a tree - I can't imagine NOT spending it - it was Heaven even with no kill - I love to disappear into the swamp & become part of it - yesterday did my Soul a world of Good ...
