RYOBI WHISPER WATER MISTER FAN, CAMPING IN THE HEAT? 

I'm really looking forward to using the Ryobi Misting Fan at our upcoming state park camping trip.

I’m taking mine to an outdoor concert with 3 batteries!

It got water ALL over the porch when only on for a few minutes but for the price, it's decent for a portable strongish small fan. I turn off the mist and use an electric handheld sprayer with fridgewater in it and can control where a fine(r) mist goes. I don't get drenched and don't have to stay back so far from the fan. If you're in a confined area, like an enclosed porch, you can always put a baby pool in front of it, between you and the fan and it will catch a lot of the water if you don't want your porch drenched. If you use the misting, freeze up some huge ice chunks along with the refrigerated water you put in your bucket. Cut half of a gallon or so water jug to make a large chunk of ice, it'll melt slower. Freezer gel packs can be put in the water too (if they fit). Take all paper/stickers off if you put them in the water so they don't come loose and gum up the water pump. I plan on eventually getting a well-insulated used cooler with wheels, drilling a hole for the water pump tube to go through, just set the fan on top of the cooler and then the icewater will stay colder longer.

24:49 if you have some other strong portable fans, you can always angle them (set them behind and slightly below the Ryobi) where they will help disperse the spray more. You want to vaporize the mist finely so you can get closer without getting as wet. You'll get more air coming at you, too, of course with more fans blowing at you.
