To help prevent your camo from fading in the wash, turn the apparel inside-out before placing in the washer.  This really will help keep the colors from fading as much.

I like to wash my camo in baking soda.  This helps eliminate odors as the baking soda absorbs odor particles.  It’s important to thoroughly rinse your clothing after the wash cycle in hot water.  Baking soda contains phosphorus and leaving phosphorus particles on the clothing can actually glow in dim light.

Another trick I use is after a complete wash of everything, pants, shirt, jacket, hat, gloves, etc., I let them air-dry outside.  Then, I place everything in a heavy plastic trash bag.  Make sure the bag is non-scented.  In the bag with the clothing I’ll put some dry leaves, crushed acorns and pine or cedar boughs.  Then I seal the bag tightly.  The contents of the bag will absorb the scents of the leaves, acorns, etc. and help to hide my odor once in my stand.

Leather hunting boots will absorb odors, so I always hunt wearing rubber boots.  The rubber doesn’t hold odors as does leather.l

Put as many of the odds in your favor for a better chance at deer hunting success.
