I know of a lot of people that do something similar to that every year. In fact, my Uncle will fill a plastic tote or garbage bag with leaves, twigs, etc. and put his hunting clothes in it and just leave it til the season starts. I don't think he's ever put them in the dryer with it and it's been effective. Either way, though...it is definately an effective and cheap way to get your clothes scent free (or atleast with the scent you want)
