"Windicator" - What's in em?
 

What is the powder in the windicator bottles? Would baking soda work to refill them?

RE: "Windicator" - What's in em?
 

Odorless talc is what is in them originally, and I have refilled them with baking soda. It works, but not as well as the talc. It doesn't "mist" as well......It's not quite a fine enough powder. I've thought about using cake flour, it is pretty fine stuff.

Any scent to cake flour?

Thanks! I'm really just thinking about this from the convenience factor. I'm going through this stuff like crazy.

None that I can detect.

So he's been sniffing the cake flour powder.

RE: "Windicator" - What's in em?
 

That explains a lot. [8D]

Edit: Fixed qoute mishap. :D

Ya'll.....cake flour doesn't do anything......It's what you put IN that flour that counts.....:eek:[&:]

How about the chalk powder that goes in a carpenters chalk line. I'm going to try it.

Eeeew....pretty colors.:D

if you ever have a campfire, that white ash that's left over after an all night burner is what it is.

Talcum powder

Guess I should read the other posts first[&:]. It's already been said. I like the chalk-line chalk idea:D

im sorry, but i thought that wind powder stuff was just a gimmick. I can tell the direction of the wind by feeling it on my face or the classic lick your finger and hold it up.

Damn ya'll are tight, them things are only afew dollars a bottle....:D

RE: "Windicator" - What's in em?
 

Powders don't tell you much at all but whats 1 foot In front of your nose. Use Milk weed after It drys out. You will get a much better wind perception.

I was once called a D weed.:D

How much of a gimmick is knowing what your wind is doing 30 yds from you?;)

Schultzy...I can watch the puffer cloud for 30 yds or more.

WhenI hunt a place that I actually CARE what it's doing, I use a tuft of chartruse yellow maribou like you tie crappie jigs with (yeah I make my own, thats why I have it). About one of the little tiny feathers pulled off of the stem will work great. Carries forever.

RE: "Windicator" - What's in em?
 

Hey someone else does what I do!!! I have aziplock full of 'em in my pouch when I go out, and they do work good...:D

My problem is, where I hunt....every 15 minutes, they fly off in a different direction [&:] Last night I had a NSEW wind.... :eek:

RE: "Windicator" - What's in em?
 

They definitely tell the truth on where the wind goes and how It twirls when It does.

RE: "Windicator" - What's in em?
 

I use something along the milkweed lines, they arethese little, fine feathers I take from my chickens (stomach and pelvic area)when I butcher them. I have bags and bags of them and they work great. I can even shred the feather into smaller pieces that will ride thermals and real see what the wind is doing all around me. I'll send out about 5-7 little floaters at a time and it is very interesting to see where they all go sometimes. I stuff a bunch in a film canister and keep it in my pack.

I went ahead and picked up 3 more bottles of the stuff from BPS, yesterday.....along with.....yes....gum-o-flage.[&:]

Great ideas though, guys.
