I have used the car unit many many times. Not just during hunting season but to get rid of smells in my car from different sources. Ive used it on my umpire gear that stinks by the end of the summer. Ive used it in hockey gear which anyone who plays knows how bad it starts to smell. It works. Theres no refuting the science behind it.

Looking for some opinions on ozone
- Thread starter Golferhunter
- Start date
Treating my interior is part of my regular routine. Works great. I run the heater on high and recirc air (not fresh air) so my entire vent system gets ozone too. I will put some large gear (like my bow) inside the truck to kill multiple birds with one stone.
Air out the vehicle before entering, though...don't breathe ozone.

how does one go about removing the human scent from themselves? What about your breathe everytime you breath out?
the best scent control I know of is called "hunt the wind". If i'm able to hunt that way, i haven't been busted yet.

Its not odor elimination...its odor reduction which is something we can control to a certain extent. You can predict wind, you can play the wind, but you cannot control the wind and you can't control where a deer may walk.
Odor reduction is about "fooling" a deer to think you are farther away, or that you are no longer present. Its about minimizing odor intensity on the fringes of our scent cone.
Its about our residual odor dissipating sooner around our stands. Lots of good reasons to reduce odor.

Tom, how often and for how long do you run the unit? If used frequently, does one run the risk of damaging your vehicle's interior?
Usually just a couple times per season, maybe mid October and just before Halloween. I run it for about 20-30 minutes each time.
I've owned my '06 Tundra since '07 and it has 145k on it...no sign of ozone damage after 11 years of treatment.
With any O3 treatment that I do...I air out the gear, clothing, truck, etc right after treatment. I do not keep stuff contained in O3 for extended periods and I've seen very little damage to my stuff.
I also do my best to keep my interior fresh. Once the season comes, I keep my windows cracked open while parked. I don't use it to bring home take out food. I try not to recontaminate it after I treat it.
Ozone treatment is not a magic bullet. Its just one more tool in the arsenal for minimizing odor.
You'll still get busted from time to time. The wind will switch or the deer will end up down wind where they weren't supposed to go.
I'm in my 46th season of hunting whitetails and I can say without a doubt that my odor regimen has kept deer from busting me far better than when I just showered and hung clothes outside. Every little bit helps.
