Hi all,
A well meaning relative gave me one of these http://www.kathmandu.com.au/Accessories ... eller.html as a b/day present.
Question is - do they work?
Cheers, sbs

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

As long as it doesn't work like the shark repellant units - the sharks would hear/feel the noise and come take a look see, maybe stay for a bite or two 
Happy birthday!

i picked up one of these just prior to going to asia recently.
The sound comming from it is meant to be ultrasonic, but for some reason i could hear it and it became really annoying.
so annoying to the point that i rather be bitten by the mozzies themselves rather than hear the thing work! haha.
I ended up wearing the citronella wrist bands instead. you still get bitten, but much less. those asian mozzies seemed to be trained in kamikaze missions and have no fear. and using them chinese medicated oils (available in any chinese grocery) if you're bitten stops the itch pretty well.
