BTW, there is a decorative lantern version from OFF I believe that works on the same principal, great for picnics.

I've alwas wondered if those things worked and with all the positive feedback it looks like one will be in my back pack come OCTOBER 1st.As far as the scent I guess time will tell it can't be any worse than the smell of sweat from the walk in.It is impossible not to sweat with temps in the 80's and 90's, not to mention the 90% humidity here in the south.

as you've read, once you use one, you'll never hunt w/o it.

I can tell you hunting in the south when the deer season opens in mid sept. I don't care if the deer can smell it because I couldn't hunt without it. It's so hot you can't wear enough close to keep them from biting you but I can hunt in shorts and a long sleeve camo Tshirt with the TC. Whoever invented it should get a nobel prize because he saved the early season for me.

its amazing what the thermacell does, one night i ran out of butane for it on my bear hunt and in those couple hours my face was bitten numerous times, in fact my left ear is misshaped from all the swelling lol but when i had the thermacell running, i did not get bitten a single time

I will have to let you know in September when I give mine a try!!;)
