I figure I will buy a thermacell while I'm in Estill.  Was going to fly with mine, but found out I can't fly with the butane.  So I figure you can never have enough of them.

Mike
You should be able to fly with just the unit only and by refills in Estill.

I know, but they would see the thermacell and figure I left the butane in it, then open up the bags, probably break something, when all I have to do is spend $20 and get a new one and worry about getting it home.

Cool.  Thanks guys.  If anyone needs me to watch there secret hog wallow, I'll gladly do that in return for letting me borrow your thermacell.   :bigsmyl:  

No Dennis, I don't have your #, but I will PM you mine.  I will be in what ever cheap POS car the rental agency gives me.

Just dipped a couple footed arrows I just built.  I'm hoping to get them finished and fletched in time to use them on a hog next weekend.  They need to be done by Tuesday evening so theta they can be ready to board the flight.

Laugh at that trailer if you want Todd. It pulls feather light. It ain't a looker but it serves its purpose  :)  Never knew it was behind me down 220.

Flat out awesome.  I picked the best and put a field point on it, and it went right where I was looking.  Pulled the field point off and put on an Ace Standard 125.  It is my #1 arrow for the hunt.  It's been a journey getting it to this point, so why not continue the saga?

The other one I made just like it, I didn't like the color of the bacote as much as the first, so I put a judo head on it and it's ready fir some S. Carolina stumps.  I need to abuse it to see how my glue joints hold up.

I also have some 2 dart footed arrows made up with walnut that I turned into Flu Flu's tipped with .38 shell casings that I made for your aerial targets.  I'm sure the TSA has some kind of sniffer that will smell the residual gun powder left on the inside of the casing and hold me up while they check my bag thoroughly.

If you want to save space I can bring a full quiver of flu flus. More room for you for hog arrows  :)

I'm driving my pickup and pulling a trailer. Gotta think success!!  :thumbsup:
