Good advice.

Washing with baking soda will wear out your clothes a little faster than the liquid soap. That doesn't stop me from using it. I like my camo worn out. It only takes a few years to get it the right shades. I have no idea what most camo companies are thinking. Give me some worn out natural gear any time I'm out hugging a tree. Shadows occur naturally, to print them in your camo is plain stupid.

My stuff was just washed in baking soda yesterday again after 3 weeks of the season and a few blood stains. It will end up in a bag w/ some sticks, leaves, pine cones, and dirt.

Border crossing scents has stuff called ever calm that is a deer herd in a stick. I've heard good things about it so far. It's not meant for you to wear as a deodorant, just as a cover scent.

Congrats on putting some meat on the ground. If this damn wind wasn't gusting to 30 today I'd be back in the trees this afternoon.
