I use unscented soap, shampoo, the whole works. I use scentlok for more confidence, but got along fine for years without it. Scentlok or not, you have to hunt into the wind. It's the only way to make the most of your hunt. It's a have to situation. I use scentlok in case of a swirling wind or sudden change for that added security. The scentlok doesnt make me walk with the wind at all though.
