[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2235053, member: 9299"] Various unscented baby wipes, towelettes, etc for night time cleaning. Unscented antiperspirants not deodorants and use them liberally everywhere. Baking soda works well, but some skins do not tolerate them long-term. Hanging your hunting clothes out at night to air. Before the hunt, I wash all my hunting clothes and spare socks, underwear etc in unscented laundry soaps and rinse with baking soda in the water and air dry to avoid the fabric softener smells in the house dryer. Bring along a large unscented garbage bag or two and when in your hunting area, place varied nontoxic aromatic plants in the bag (pine, cedar, juniper, sage, dirt, etc) and overnight, place your next day hunting clothes in the bag. (I've used this technique for very close ground bow and lance hunting for Southern Whitetails and when combined with other scent reducing techniques above, I have had great results.) Of course, if you have water in the area or spare water you can bring, sponge bathe with unscented soaps and then sprinkle with baking soda. Even with the best scent reducing/masking, always monitor your winds with a small squirt bottle of baby powder or similar. [/QUOTE]
