NO MORE MOSQUITOES CAMPING!? | Backpacker Thermacell Review 

Get Your Free Canoe Camping Gear Checklist at www.martymorissette.com

I just came back from a holiday in Lapland, Finland. Ofcourse I had some mosquito repellent with me, but when you put the repellent on your skin, the mosquitos still land on your clothes and try to sting you. On the campsite where I was, another person told me to try this " thermacell" . I was very sceptic in the first place ofcourse. But after like 10 minutes, I noticed less mosquitos arround me. After 15 minutes the entire place arround me was mosquito free!!! Maybe I sound like a person from a Tell-sell commercial right now, but it really works, so good!! Its really like a " shut up and take my money" situation! I had a mosquito-free evening from 6 pm when I turned it on , untill 1 am when I turned it off and went to bed. this is serious one of the best inventions against mosquitos EVER!!

Before I even watched him. He is a camper real life I’m sure this is what I need ❤

I have gen.2 and it works like a charm, sometimes I use it in my backyard and every time I go hiking. I confirm it is the best hiking gadget I ever bought and it works!

Thanks for the recommendation. This is the first time I heard about this. I’m so glad I saw your vid. I was looking for something like this to go camping in June. I just bought mine.

I’ve used the hand sized version too. I like this burner better; no separate tank is great. Regardless of the heating element, this technology works! 🙂👌

Thanks for the recommendation- I will pick one up for my summer camping!

This thing is awesome, 2 years using. You get about 12-15 foot radius, as long as wind is mild. BUT THE RELIEF you get is so worth it. Definitely thumbs up on this.

Brilliant review. It helped me to decide. Thanks dude

Great job on the video 👍👍👍

Great review! I just got back from camping trip in north eastern Minnesota,and the bugs where the worst I've seen in years . One of those will be with next time I go into woods!

Glade I picked one up this spring, looking forward to fewer bugs

What is know about the repellent that is breathed in?

Been using one for over a year now. They work great!

Great video! I seen a adapter on Scamazon that will allow you to run your bupane skeeter thing off protane too! I’m gonna git that! I’m a scubscriber now 👍🏼

Great vid. thanks!

Thermacell being a little expensive as it is for its replacement pads/canisters, this thing is a blessing! I left my Backpacker on several nights by accident, only to realize two days later it was still on, and the darn thing lasted two more years with regular use (3-4 hours a night, 3x a week). Anyway, great product!

My first hunting Thermacell I bought in 1999 carried it for a year with using it, ended hunting a swamp in 2000 with the best MOSQUITOES suit made on and just the sound of the hundreds of those pesty bitches (females only bite) was driving me crazy. Pulled it out, set it down between my legs and three minutes later they were gone. I bought every variety made during that time and gave them out to the family for xmas gifts. Now I'm going to order this one too.

Merci. Je me demandais justement si ça fonctionnait. A bientôt!

Fantastic review, my man.

I am definitely getting one of these for my wife for when we go RVing. She won’t even stay outside after dark because of mosquitoes. Would you recommend a different version for this application?

I keep passing it in the store but now I'll consider pulling the trigger!

is the bug repellent mat a standard version or is it proprietary and must be bought by thermacell?

Will this work on a colmen propane tank or just the butane

I got a tiny container of DEET from an American friend many years ago and it's worked marvelously for me. I don't know if there are better things these days but I have my doubts about this fumigator being more effective. Also it looks kind of bulky, I usually camp only with what I carry and typically gas canisters is not something I have around.

Now if they could only make one for ticks.

Love it and just got one from Amazon 🇦🇺🙏🏽✌🏽 Also what’s that coffee drip cup attachment you have there, brand and where to buy please 🙏🏽

Convinced me, just ordered one with a 230gram (8.11 ounce) camping gas tank. I wasn't keen on having to stock camping gas, everything I use uses the 1 lb propane tanks I refill off the 20 lb'ers. We'll see if it works!

So for the smallest canister which is ~100hours you would need 25 of the replacement pads to burn that long?

So you say it will create a rectangular 15x15ft area free of bugs? Why not a 15ft radius? Asking for a friend

I have one and would say it is the best way to keep bugs away.

Does it require you to wear DEET based repellents to be effective?

Many times I find the pads ONLY work for an 1 1/2- 2 hours MAX.! I too have been using the same can of fuel for 2 years but I've gone through a S..t-ton of VERY EXPENSIVE pads!

Have you tried using propane with adapter?

Come round to my end of the world, the tropics. 😂

OK, I have brought this exact thermocell on 2 different canoe trips. The first time was "insert head scratching here"...maybe better? Then brought on a second trip and finally concluded it was a waste of space. I can't agree...just another mosquito gimmick.

How do I get this item

works very well with mosquitoes. but the little black flies does not understand the concept of the 15x15 dome hehe

Is this the best gadget you can get from mosquitoes what would be considered better than this?

What about for Biting Midges?

Any slight breeze while camping, which usually involves open water sites, this product will simply be ineffective, burning money and not being efficient at all...

Dudes just shilling thermacell to make money… where’s a test?!!

Would it work with propane?

are these safe for infants?

I wish I would be on the'' It works great clan''........but I am not. I have 2 MR450 that do the same job as this unit, tried them in many ocasions hoping that it will work but.... nothing, on or off, same results, none! The best for me is a good bug spray with deet, sticky, stinky but does the job.

I haven’t found a thermacell that works. They all refuse to stay lit out here in Idaho

Recording during the cold months of the year when mosquitoes have already gone dormant....

I’m not convinced by this, it’s all down to wind strength and direction.

For "all night long" run you have to wake up every 3 -3,5 hours :D

the music droning in the background is not just obnoxious but out of touch with the subject and distracting.

Does it repel in-laws from surprise visits?...NO dammit

Will not work above 7000 ft elevation

Music too loud Fyi

I call bullshit! This is a paid advertisement. I was hopeful when I got one of these. I gave it a chance a few times. Right now, it’s on and by me feet, I am having a hard time typing this as I am also trying to smack the mosquitoes on my legs, arms, around my head. Lame

1 can for just over 3 years? 180 hours is like 15 12hour nights. So you spend 2 weeks camping every 3 and a bit years? lol Either way one can of gas is worth it for 15 nights of no bugs

isnt this just a mosquito coil but dependant on patented pads and butane to work instead of just burning by itself? i think they invented nothing, they just made their model to make more money!

Is this a paid advertisement?

This age old myth still around wasting peoples money I see😂

Key word "bugs" not mosquitos. Mosquitos are attracted to Co2, so good luck keeping mosquitos away. No device on this planet can protect you. But this should keep bugs, moths etc. away, which really don't matter.
