A piece of dental floss 8 inces long tied onto the end of my stabalizer. I fray it so it is fluffy. Works awesome and is very durable and shows wind direction in the ever so slightest breeze. HCH

I fill mine with carpenters chalk. You know the kind you use to refil the string that carpenters would snap a chalk line with.

I use baking soda. It works well and humidity isn't too much of a problem.

Find some milk weeds. Pick some pods and let them dry out. You'll have more than enough to check the wind fro an entire season.
