Thermacell Radius Review - Rechargeable Mosquito Repellent (2020)

[@gordonsorensen8379]

Of all the KZbin videos I have seen , yours was the best! Clear informative and easily understood. Thanks

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

Thanks so much!!!

[@MrThidj901]

it is true! i have seen all the others about thermacell and im happy to sub. i hope the rest of your channel delives the same feeling!

[@casper2yall]

Awesome review.. there is a Gen 3 out now..

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

Really? I'll have to get it!

[@dsmoovest]

I seem to be very late to the party but just read about this product today. Great review and I have a good amount of information to consider before deciding.

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

I don't go camping in mosquito season without it!!!!!

[@dsmoovest]

I'm even considering it for my buggy backyard! I usually buy the citronella torches, which don't work well if several aren't burning simultaneously. I'm thrilled that this may replace messy repellent sprays or lotions when guests visit. We're near a creek and our area is, now, inundated with mosquitoes that feed during the day and evening. Fun times.

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

@@dsmoovest Pop that bad boy on your patio table and you'll be good!

[@bobbyalvarez87]

Say I’m cooking next 2 my camp & the Radius mist gets on my food accidentally is that extremely dangerous 2 my health???

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

I don't believe so. It is made from a chrasthamum extract and has no deet or poisons in it. Plus the likelihood of this is extremely low. I pop it next to me while eating all the time with no issues.

[@erobos111]

WOW! Look how different you looked-compared to your most recent update regarding this company-long sash hair, ear rings, whaaaaat!🤩😂🤣Your outro was pretty smooth too! Why you stopped saying: "Get out there and get on the trail!" That was pret-ty Kool!😎

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

Lol thanks! It was so hot when I filmed the last video it was a bit of a struggle. 95F and humidex well over 100. I didnt have my smooth flows! Lol

[@erobos111]

Lone Crow Adventures That’s Homicidal heat!😱🥵You Still did an awesome job And still looked great doing it!🙏🏾

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

@@erobos111 thanks! Yeah I tried to wait out the heat but there is no relief in sight for the next few week!

[@carriebishop8568]

Hi there, I was wondering it's April 1, 2023 my daughter and grandbaby is two years old are getting ate up by mosquitoes they live behind a canal in Florida. So in your recommendations what would you suggest me to buy for my family. Boy I sure hope you give me an answer I know you probably read a lot of comments

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

My personal favorite is the MR 300 with the scent pads and the butane but a lot of homeowners prefer a USB rechargeable version. I now use the Thermacell E55 on my patio and it works great. No need for butane cartridges and the liquid cartridges last up to 40 hrs! Here's the link if you want to check it out. amzn.to/3zsakbo

[@CyrilBovell]

Great review. Thank you.

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

Thanks so much for stopping by to check it out. I really appreciate it 🙏

[@bon2198]

Can it run while plugged in?

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

I don't believe so, but I've never actually tested that capability. Let me know if you find out!

[@jaycarneygiants]

Will it deter common house flies?

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

It does, not as well as mosquitoes but yes.

[@andrewtang7940]

what are the main diff between the Radius and the Patio Shield? the Pros and Cons i guess

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

Radius: USB charge (no butane), use of fluid filled cartridges. Pro, don't have to buy butane, con once the battery dies you can't run it while charging. Con, must keep track of cartridge cap if you are planning to only use a portion of the cartridge. Patio Shield: butane cylinder powered, use of scent pads. Pro, unlimited run time (just switch the butane cylinders), no need to charge. Con, have to buy butane cylinders to power unit. Hope that helps. Personally I prefer the butane cylinders but they do have a recurring cost over time.

[@batmanbriggs3489]

Nice size. I wonder if it would work on the boat fishing.. 🤔

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

I used it in the center of the canoe of a paddle up at Voyageurs National Park. Wirked great.

[@lesoutside]

Thank you!

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

You're very welcome 🙏

[@Johann-4354]

Interesting. Sounds like a win win.

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

This is a great thermacell. I really like this model

[@bisonrodeo8506]

Thermcells work great. I have the standard one with the pads but the radius seems way more convenient. Bugs get burned on the outside of the regular one in fish fly season.

[@sarahoflonecrowadventures9493]

I also have the thermocell with the pads and butane. I agree I find bugs get disgustingly fried on top of it and I've had strange brown goo come out. Dont ask me what that was all about. I definitely like the radius better if nothing else the corpse count is lower

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

I had three walking sticks stuck to the outside of my traditional theramcall last year in the Ozarks! the grate gets hot and you have to wait for it to cool down as well. I like the radius much better in terms of convenience. So far no bugs have gotten stuck to it at all!

[@gottagetta1]

Thanks for the review. Can the Radius work while it's charging?

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

No it cannot which is a bummer. But it does charge quickly which is nice.

[@batmanbriggs3489]

What about breathing it in on accident?? Harmful?

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

It smells nice. Not harmful. With that being said I wouldn't "huff it" but if its sitting next to you it's fine. It has a nice smell but its very subtle.

[@batmanbriggs3489]

What if you only need it for 2-3hours at a time. You can do that opposed to doing it all at once??

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

It has a cap on the cartridge so you can cap it off without having to use the whole thing.

[@amyfunk2686]

Do you know of any hack to refill the cartridges yourself? New ones are very hard to find in Canada these days

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

No unfortunately I do not. I don't believe you can buy the serum itself. Too bad. Supply chain issues these days on so many things.

[@BillraeZzz]

There are people that have gently twisted and pulled straight up on the wick and refill cartridge with permethrin with great results

[@iamanisland]

That there is the sticking point for me. I’m not keen of buying something that has throw away plastic cartridges.

[@mountaingoater2989]

Those cateridges look like they would last for a long time. I would be worried about them getting broken though. The plastic on the outside looks a bit thin and if I was stored under something heavy if it cracked it might leak out or spill. Any problem with the cateridges breaking (the plastic I mean?)

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

No, just the wick that one time.

[@adugnatesfaye3280]

She said refill how fo you refill the cartridge ?

[@charlessitero]

Why give this video an unlike, seems mean. Hit the like button instead. Thanks for another video!

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

You're welcome 😊

[@charlessitero]

@@LoneCrowAdventures yall are awesome

[@andreamccrane8645]

The old ThermaCells got hot and I was nervous about using them in the tent. Will this one heat up the same way as the traditional ThermaCell? It doesn’t look like it has a steel grate like the other one.

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

I wouldn't use this in a tent specifically but in a bug house or mesh house it would be great. Probably too powerful for the tent.

[@dementiatoolsnow8421]

I don't think you'd need to use them in a tent unless you had a floorless tent or some type of tent that got mosquitoes into it. Just make sure to zip up your zippers to keep bugs out.

[@Tedtopdawg]

Great video . But charge 5 hrs and only use it for 6 hrs ? ... not sure about this :/

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

That is one of the bad things about that model. I'll be posting a video next week on a better model with a butane fuel source. Stay tuned.

[@renecanales4701]

Does anyone know if the device indicates when the liquid cartridge is empty?

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

Yes, when the cartridge is empty the device can still be turned on, so you have to monitor the fill level of the cartridge when the time gets close. The ignition and the fuel wick are two seperate functions. Hope that answers your question.

[@jimjones8268]

if its windy the bugs are not bad anyway

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

Yes this is a very true point!

[@larryg.2455]

This is a great device for bug control.

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

Been using it for years. Love it.

[@onemansvideos2134]

Wow it's loud

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

A little if you are right next to it but if you sit a few feet away it's not really noticeable.

[@MLef111]

I think you rated this kinda low. Just because u don’t like the mechanical side if it, you said it yourself it keeps bugs away. Your overall rating should be 4+. Thanks for showing us how the product works.

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

It does work well for bug protection. One thing to think about is bringing a power block and remembering to charge it. We brought it out this weekend and forgot to charge but we had a battery bank and were able to charge it quickly to get it running. Bad black flies this weekend and it performed extremely well controlling.

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Great review! I don't personally use those anymore due to the chemical irritating my throat and causing me to cough. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to another great video!

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

Too bad it bothers your throat. It works so well.

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

@@LoneCrowAdventures No worries! I can't use DEET either, but there's some great nonDEET alternatives out there.

Pic or off! mosquito 🦟 repellent coils work the same for so much cheaper. Not the citronella ones they don't work well.

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

Hmmm.... I'll have to try those. Thanks for the tip!

[@hikinghank1456]

This is a great option to deal with those damned mosquitoes. I hate mosquitoes.

Je pense pas. Peux etre google pourrait fair un translat? Je pense pas que youtube a cette function. Merci pour average vue la video!

[@AlexAAAAAAA7]

All this clearly shown on the box and in the manual so purpose of this video is complete nonsense and waste of time.

[@LoneCrowAdventures]

Hmmmm, I must ask, why did you watch this then??? Just curious. What were you looking for when you clicked on the video?

[@richstrapple]

Really Alex? Cause the Box is well marketing and packaging. This person gave an honest Review. Try not to be that guy. Peace.
