the reason i am looking into the battery operated one is that it is supposed to keep a pest free zone around you for 225?sq ft, i believe it is. and the bugs are just unmerciful once they hatch, so that's why i am looking into, plus i will be able to use it at night when fishing, or in the fall while bowhunting, or when i hit maine for bear in spet., or when.. well, i bet you get the picture, lol. tell you what, bring some grits, i'll meet you in pa for breakfast, give them another try. but i bet it wouldn't beat a breakfast of moose steakes and french toast, w' the french toast drowning in real vt maple syrup( best in the country, just ask me, i'll tell ya so!) beats the fake stuff hands down. or you could just skip pa and hit vt so i won't have to travel for the gritts, waddaya say? but bring your winter boots, you are just as likely to be hunting in a snowstorm in early may as you are warm temps.

Wow! I guess that battery one would be helpful.lol We use bee nets and suits here, to keep the crow-sized skeeters out.lol

Okay, it's a deal, I provide the grits...lol But I just might be willing to compromise, and try that moose steak-but just once.lol
Hey, I have a friend in Vt, and he is going to make a trip down here to hunt soon-might have to settle for that.lol

What the hell is a grit?
And you don't need to bring anything special to hunt up here. OFF will work just fine....Turkey's don't wind you. And as far as clothing, one extra sweat shirt should do. Have fun

FYI~ I grit is a Girl Raised In The South, but grits are a food that southerners eat-most southerners that is.
Don't worry, I will have fun.
