Have any of you tried using a Thermacell clipped to your hammock instead of bug netting? I use it while hunting and just wondered if it would work all night long?

I have a thermacell and I would not go without a bugnet. I've been places where the buzzing of mosquitoes will keep you awake, I would not trust the Thermacell to keep them away.
Good luck,

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace without end to you.

I don't think it will work all night long. Besides, it's burning butane and that is something you want to monitor. Go bug net. Save the thermacell when you are awake.

I <3 Thermacells. That said, sometimes they are not 100% effective, they are bulky, heavy, and cost more to run than a net. Net for the win.

The litle blue cartridges are only suppose to last for 4 hours. My experience is that they start to lose potency before that. I think the bug net would be cheaper in the long run, and more effective. Those thermacell refills are expensive.
with two m's, like "hammock."
At 6 bucks or so a pop on the refills,,only good for 12 hrs or so,,bug nets are definitely cheaper,,and last longer,,wouldn't take long to pay for a good bug net.

My bugnet is effective, light, small, and has never failed me. Need I say more?
Yep, I'm voting bugnet for sure!
You are all awesome. Thanks for your experienced answers. Looks like the bug net is the winner.
