Here is what I do. I just go hunting and play the wind and do not worry about it
And no amount of scent control will save you"Just hunt the wind" my ass...sorry guys.
Yeah, hunt wind as best as you can, but you know it will screw you when you least want it to.
In addition to hunting wind, minimize odors anywhere and everywhere that is feasible.
I launder my saddle with unscented detergent set on the handwash cycle of the washer.
In between launderings, I give it an O3 treatment.
Define "save".And no amount of scent control will save you

I dont know about it being a "lie", but it certainly is short sighted and naive.That is a blatant LIE
No it does not.Doesn’t the ozone treatment destroy fabric? That’s the last piece of fabric I’d be wanting to degrade... just hand wash it in a bucket and be done

Not to be a smart ***, but if your saddle doesn’t have human scent on it all year, why do you find the need to wash it at the beginning of the year? Were you not as careful the last hunt of the season or just afraid dirt will degrade material over time?For those that have a scent control regimen that works and don't have t hunt the wind, here's what I do with my saddle. I fill my washtub about halfway with hot water and put a couple cap fulls of Arm & Hammer no perfumes/no dyes hypoallergenic scent free detergent in the water. I swish it around and then put my saddle, lead rope, climbing rope, bow rope, fanny pack for my strap on rope steps, my strap on rope steps, and any other fabric items in it and let them soak overnight. In fact I did it last night and the stuff is still in the tub. This evening I will drain the tub and rinse the stuff off with hot water for a while and then fill the tub up and let it soak in clean water overnight. Tomorrow I'll hang everything outside to dry for a week or so and will then put my saddle and ropes in my ScentLok backpack and my steps in the washed in scent free detergent fanny pack and put both packs in an air tight container. Then I'm done with that for the year. I always handle everything with ScentLok gloves and when hunting in my saddle its always outside my exterior ScentLok clothing so I have no worries about it having any human odor on it all season. Takes a little time up front, but once it's washed and dried and put away, it's of no concern for the remainder of the season.
If you think you are scent free that is a lie as wellThat is a blatant LIE
Cedar boxAfter last season I stored my saddle inside along with all my ropes. any good ideas on how to eliminate the scent it has gathered.
Its not about being completely odor FREE. Its about being odor REDUCED.If you think you are scent free that is a lie as well
That is fine. I’ve done well for myself as an exclusive public land hunter. I hang my clothes and when I was them I use All free and clear. No one way is right or wrongIts not about being completely odor FREE. Its about being odor REDUCED.
