I just buy a little bottle at any store like Cabela's or Canadian tire. Scentless powder of some sort. $5-6 will cover it or just make it yourself for cents.

In the fall when it's cold out I wear fingerless wool gloves. When I want to check the wind I pick some lint off the back of my gloves and see which way it drifts when I drop it.

I'm new to hunting. This is a good thread to learn from
I carry powder but I look at the lichen on tree branches all the time.
Just buy a bottle of wind checker for like $5.99. It lasts years.
I use some of the carpenter's colored snap line chalk in a little squeeze bottle. It's cheap, especially since I always have a bottle in my tool box for my snap line. It's also a good way to use up the last little bit that's left in the bottle after filling my snap line.

Anybody else use lichen on the trees?
Thread with a small down feather tied to it taped under the barrel, far better than the squirt bottle. It is working all the time and requires no movement to detect the slightest of breezes.
I always watch lichen too.
J-F: The wet days can be worked around by using super lightweight monofilament like tippet.
I had a roommate back in the early 90s who was doing a carpentry apprenticeship in Whistler. They were doing a huge foundation in mid winter and he was just getting confident enough that he wasn’t asking for help with things. After spending about two hours trying to plumb a long high set of forms it was all twisted with the screw jacks all over the place. Another friend (who told me the story) was far more experienced and walked over to see what the hell was going on... apprentice’s plumb line had frozen to the forms!
