Title: Wind direction "puffer' device
Post by: Bofire on December 28, 2009, 07:54:08 PM: I think I read on here some one refills the little bottle of powder with something?? I think it worked well and did not absorb water? am I nuts? or is there some trick?

Fer you uneddicaated fellers: I mean one O those little bottles with powder you puff up to see the wind direction. Get it?
Thanks
Carl

It stays dry, is cheap, no odor, and doesn't clump up. Cost a couple of bucks. Got a squeeze bottle with a collapsible nipple on it and everything's good.

Works good. I dont know why I bother though. It never fails that I hike a half mile out of the way to come into an area down wind. I get five minutes into the stand only to have the wind change. :dunno: Story of my life, but at least Im out in the woods. :chuckle:
