Squeeze bottle

[FUDGEY]

Could any one give me any advice on what squeeze bottle to use and where to obtain one. It is to put talcum powder in to find the wind direction when I am photographing Deer, Foxes and Badger. Hope someone can help, thanks.

Put a finger in your mouth as to wet all the surface and hold it vertically in the air. You'll be able to feel the direction of the wind.

Here it is Fudgey, from Scotland too...http://www.bushwear.co.uk/nostyles.p...01&ClassID=251

Just the thing to answer the question,"Ever been out and could just not tell which way the wind was coming?"

Is there not a risk attached to this, when you have been out for a while and haven't washed your hands? Speaking for myself, I can't go past a pond without getting up close and personal with it, and I am always aware of diseases contracted from these types of places, having been ill in the past.

How about grabbing a handful of dried grass, dry soil, feather or whatever there is lying about and then throwing upwards, or (in the case of dust) just letting it fall (one of the most subtle methods).

My hair is often pulled out for such occasions as these!

Yes, OK Deb - not to be recommended on WAB. Don't do it folks.

I was taught to do it with grass but I find the finger method works best with the slightest of breezes.

I had heard about wetting my lips, but they don't work properly or something. I'm none the wiser when I try this, anyway.

We have a lot of dust here. I will go out later and try this method later. With this method, at least your quarry won't smell plastic and chemicals.

Thank you folks, great advice as per. Ty for the link Woodman, just what I want Top man

i thought talc came in a squeezable container?

use any thing light weight, a bit of cotton/hair will blow in the wind, spit on your finger (if you dont want to lick it), dust, grass etc or look at the foliage around or ripples on the water and see how they are reacting to the wind

Just consult the Met. Office then reverse it!

You should be careful of who's company you're in Debs when you wet your lips. They might mistakenly think they know which way the winds blowing.

You're a braver man than me, Jackaroo!

Deb was inviting comment and knowing her ability for merciless retorts, I decided against it. She's armed with a sharp bowsaw now, you know.

I've been thinking about Debs lips not working properly all day and might be able to offer assistance.

There's a thread here Lips not working right, please help?? - Sarcastic Gamer Forums

entitled "Lips not working right, please help??" It's all too much for me.

Sorry Fudgey.
