Abstract
A device for an attachable wind detector that affixes directly to hunting equipment, outdoor gear, headgear, or clothing, allowing for wind detection without unnecessary hand movements. In an embodiment, the wind detection device comprises an enclosure filled with powder or liquid, an enclosure holder, a swivel, and an attachment device, and a dispensing tube, designed to be attached to hunting equipment, outdoor gear, outdoor structures, headgear, or clothing, wherein pressing on the outside of the device causes a puff of powder or vapor to be dispensed into the air, allowing the user to determine wind direction.

A wind detection device, comprising:
- an enclosure with a roughly circular frontal cross section having an exterior diameter and a roughly ovular side cross section, the enclosure comprising:
- an interior cavity;
- a flexible front wall, and an attachment device;
- a collar configured to allow insertion and retention of a removable plug and dispensing tube;
- the removable plug and dispensing tube inserted into and retained in the collar, the dispensing tube having a first and a second end, with the first end extending through the opening into the interior cavity, and with a longitudinal hole extending the length of the dispensing tube from the first end to the second end;
- an enclosure holder comprising:
- a roughly semi-circular frontal shape of sufficient interior diameter to receive and hold the exterior diameter of the enclosure, wherein the roughly semi-circular cross shape of the enclosure holder describes an arc of 180 degrees or more but less than 360 degrees;
- and
- at least one upper portion of the roughly semi-circular frontal shape of the enclosure holder is configured to be sufficiently flexible to allow insertion of the enclosure into the enclosure holder;
