I think they say that due to the heating element not becuase of the chemical.

You can buy a holster for it and attach it to your belt. When your sitting in a treestand , you can attach it to a limb or your stand.

Thermacell does work! And just to let you know, I had a cow within five feet of me last year while the thing was running. She stayed right there as there were no skeeters or black flies, so either she didn't care about the smell and loved the bug-free zone or she didn't smell it. Oh and she bolted when I moved after ten minutes of my leg falling asleep.

I ordered mine through Cabelas for 19.99 and it comes with a holster. Dicks wanted 24.99 and the 12.99 for the holster.

Ok, I just bought a thermacell from Cabelas today and tried it out during a short 3d shoot today. It DEFINITLEY has an oder that I can smell. And if I can smell it, that means the animals should be able to smell it as well. That has me a little concerned.

Any comments on this are welcomed.

Thanks

Brian

".....so you just have to suck it up ..."

Naaaaah,  you've apparently never hunted in Alabama wehre the no see ums will leave a bloody ring around the bottoms of your sleeve cuffs.  There's tough and then there's unnecessary.   :o

I've got two Thermocells and extra parts as my wife hunts too.
Keep 'em Straight!!! (and quiet)
