I think the worst experience I've ever had with'em was Fort Polk Aug '95. They were like mini Chinook's coming in hot

Thermacell. Has saved me on several backcountry elk and trout trips. And I've used them on the coast with great success as well.

I have the portable one that runs off butane for in the field. But also an electric one that recharges for the back patio, that works just as well.
