If you are in the market for a Thermacell unit then now might be a good time. Gander Mountain has them on sale for 20 bucks. That is a unit and the stuff you need to use it. That's 10 dollars off what they normally cost. If you don't have a Gander near by then you should be able to get the price on their website store. No reason at all to hunt the early season without a Thermacell. I have two that come with me on each hunt.
