Good thumbs-up job on the product review. I have another popular brand that runs on butane and we have been impressed with it. More and more though I am learning to appreciate the simplicity of rechargeable battery powered devices.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival great to hear from you Lonnie. I hope you’re doing well. I have one of those popular butane powered units too. The technology is proven and it works well.
I tried making one a couple of years ago, but it didn't get hot enough to work well. You might have already seen the video: ruclips.net/video/XDxJ74wlDY4/видео.html Thanks for watching!! 🤠👍
I like it because of it's small size, doesn't use expensive fuel and pads (like Thermacell's), and the extra features: carabiner, lantern, magnet and tripod mount. On SUPER it gets quite hot, hotter than a Thermacell, so be aware of that. Thanks for watching! 🤠👍
@@tomritter493 thanks Tom. I don’t think it’s been tested to keep ticks away but if I ever come across some ticks in my area I’ll see how they react to it!
Hey Jim, good to see you. I just saw a video the other day saying that mosquitos and gnats and other insects like roaches, hate the smell of burning coffee. Have you ever heard that?
Yeah, I was away for a while... my younger brother passed away suddenly at the end of May. His passing took the wind out of my sails, so I didn't feel like talking in front of a camera. I'm just trying to get back into it now. I have one of those indoor USB things but I've tried it outdoors while it was plugged into a power bank. It works a bit, but doesn't quite get hot enough. I made a comparison video of it and a Thermacell about two years ago. If you haven't seen it yet, here's the link: ruclips.net/video/XDxJ74wlDY4/видео.html I spray my boots and lower legs with Deep Woods Off to protect me from ticks. I also carry Coglan's Mosquito Coils for an inexpensive but effective smudge when I'm camping. They worked when I was a kid and they still work 50 years later! 🤠👍
@@MuskratJim Aww pal, sorry for your loss my condolences 🙏 may he rest in peace. I shall have a look at that video thanks, I think I may have already seen it, but my memory isn't as good as it once was...lol.
I mentioned to RUclips Kenny of All Trades (Minnesota) and his state mosquito hummingbirds - cousins of the Canadian mosquito hummingbirds ... if one could plug in those anti-bug house devices (chasing away ants, silverfish, cockroaches, ...) if they could also be used in his camper. as they are low voltage and energy consumption devices. If one could find some battery source, with these modified anti-bug devices, one could have a great long-running device, low battery usage, and chase away all the critters.
@@kevinobrien2550 I tested an older model (not the ‘S’ model) and it didn’t seem to work at all. I don’t think it got hot enough to heat up the pads to their optimal working temperature.
I know!! I'm using a new camera and the auto-focus is either not turned on or it just doesn't work as well as my old camera. If I can't figure it out I'll have to do close-ups with my older camera and just use my new camera for windy conditions (because it has an external microphone with a foam cover).

@@terryw.milburn8565 God bless you Terry! I’ve been using mine everyday lately 🤠👍🏼
Ya know what? I like it. I freakin hate getting bothered by bugs. Thanks for the video brother

I did see that video.. I had forgotten about it.
Looks like a good little unit Jim. Thanks for sharing it.

Great multiuse gear jim and keeps tics awaya

I could see them flying a round you as you started your video. But by the time you were done there was nothing. Great video Jim.
@@sharoncrowe-snooshomestead3536 Yeah it worked until the rechargeable battery ran out 🤠👍🏼
Hey Jim, good to see you. I just saw a video the other day saying that mosquitos and gnats and other insects like roaches, hate the smell of burning coffee. Have you ever heard that?
I hadn't heard that, but apparently ants don't like coffee grounds so you can sprinkle that around the ant hills. I've never tried it though.
Thanks Jim, great review!
Thanks Roy. Glad you liked it!
Hey Jim long time no see. - Nice little gadget. I have thing for indoors that plugs into a USB plug. I use a spray for personal protection.

I just bought one not long ago and I hope to get out and try it this weekend.

is their a fan inside, and are the pads heated? And does it have a smell?
@@randyyeager no fan, no smell and yes they do heat up the pads so get the chemicals to evaporate from the pads.
this would be awesome i was eaten alive while up in Northern Ontario , have the scabs now. thanks for the review .
I lived in North Bay, Ontario when I was eleven and twelve years old. Beautiful country if you can handle the blackflies 🤠👍
Yes My friend lives in North Bay near the lake , They were very bad this year this way because we had a warmer winter
the old 40w bulbs put out about 470 lumens
@@randyyeager Thanks Randy!
A kingdom for an auto-focus that works in 2024.😂

good review mister muskrat 🫡
Thank you! 🤠👍
