So if you read through this thread I pretty thoroughly explain my scent control routine: ScentLok base layer
https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?sh...threads/ScentLok-base-layer.702/&share_type=t
I use scentlok garments that are cared for and stored properly. I use a boot dryer for boots and have previously used zeolite powder by dead down wind but it was kind of a hassle and I kept forgetting to put it in my boots. For hair/body care I use Dr Bronners unscented liquid soap. This stuff is amazing for anyone with hard well water. I don't get crazy with trying to mask toothbrush scent because I have to use sensitivity toothpaste and there isn't any on the market that I'm aware of that isn't minty. Deodorant I use DDW of scentlok brand deodorant and that seems to work pretty well, but I'm sure you could use any old nonscented antiperspirant.
Neither my wife or I use scented detergent or fabric softener in our washer or dryer (lifestyle choice not related to hunting) so no fear of scent contamination there.
As for the rest of the "rest of the equipment"...
Saddle + ropes - put into 5 gallon bucket or tub large enough and fill with cold water and add some DDW detergent and agitate by hand, alternating between soaking and agitating. Rinse with cold clean water and air dry.
Bow, quiver, arrows, and release aid - wipe down with DDW scent wipes before each hunt. Though there is a part of me that suspects these are simply unscented baby wipes you could buy a lot cheaper.
Backpack/pack - usually delicate cycle wash in the washer and depending on size of pack may or may not dry in the dryer. It goes into an airtight tote with a carbon web adsorber.
Sticks/climbing aids - this stuff I just give a thorough spraying down with scent killer spray before the season. I was considering washing the webbing straps on my lone wolf sticks but... idk... these items are handled infrequently in the off season. My biggest fear is contamination from other VOCs in the garage ie gas cans, lawnmower, etc. regardless I usually spray and/or wipe them down once or twice a season.
Anything I didn't cover? Feel free to ask...
