Anyone know what they use in Smoke in a Bottle??

Milkweed works great but takes both hands and requires alot of extra movement when your on the ground, what I did last year was put some ashes from the woodstove in a glaas bowl and with back of spoon crushed it down to a fine powder and put that in a empty puffer bottle was very happy with how well it could be seen for quite a distance.

Steve,

A while back, someone posted how they had taped the film canister with milkweed to their bow to reduce movement.  I like your idea about ashes, my woodstove generates plenty.  I think I'll try the really fine ash so I don't have to crush it.

Pool cue stick powder.  Works the best.  No scent and very fine.

One other good one is for any other fly tyers here. Save the clippings of bright colored maribou.

The best thing I've found is called micro balloons.  It's something that's added to epoxy.

do any of the sponsors here sell smoke in a bottle?

I just use my shop vac to suck smoke up into a big bottle when I am BBQing ribs ... works great when bear hunting.

Not sure what's in it but it is the best I have used. Love the smoke in a bottle.

Milkweed fluff. Seeds removed.  I just stuff some in a small pocket on my pack. Before hunting I grab a small amount and rub it on my bow arm bicep/shoulder sleeve.  When I want to check the wind  I just grab a piece, with my drawing arm, and let it fly. Very little movement and I rarely run out on a hunt. If I do I just go back into the pocket and add more to my sleeve.
