We went to some fireworks tonight, and I took along our new Thermacell lantern to do some realworld testing to see if this is a product I want with me in the woods when hunting. Used it just like the box (and all of you here on Tradgang) said to, and proceded to wonder what the rave about this thing is.
All 4 of us sat within 4 feet of the lantern, and the skeeters were still landing on us and biting. I'm going to give it 2 more nights of use to see if there is really any truth to what I have been hearing, but as for right now, I can say I wouldn't spend the money on refills for it. Maybe 2 night of camping will change my mind, but only an actuall test will tell.
Have a great weekend everyone, and Happy Birthday AMERICA.
