I have 4 Thermacells and love everyone one of them. I hang one right beside me in the tree while hunting in the stand and they work great. I tied a a small braided rope to all of mine and ran it through the grille to hang the Thermacell since I didn't have the pouches for them.

They work best in still weather, in any form of wind then placement is crucial.
The unit exhausts a repellent, if that repellent is behind you, or under you blowing in the opposite direction then the unit will be useless.
I visualize it the same way I do any other form of breeze when I am hunting, what is the wind doing, and what is it bringing with it.

From Thermocells website:
"In breezy weather, place the unit upwind of your location so that the repellent is carried by the wind into the area you want to protect."
If you are not willing to learn, nobody can help you, if you are willing, nobody can stop you.
