If your near a cabelas they are $29.99 for the camo model. The butane last a good while before running out. Trust me once you have one you will wonder why you didn't get one sooner.

We dont have black flies here in ND but we do have wood ticks by the thousands.  I bought a Bug Skinz tm set of clothes from Cabelas this spring for the trip to Mexico, didnt get any chiggers down there with it on and havent had one wood tick stuck on me this spring.  I can totally recommend them, will buy another set.

i have seen them at walmart for $20 and it cost about 50 cents an hour to run it. Black flies and skeeters are horrable up here in maine right now,i have been sitting at the picnic table with a cold one and supper- bug free with it.
