I think a lot of guys ignore their backpacks. Maybe that's a source of odor for you too. Our hands give off lots of odor and everytime we touch the stuff in our packs we put some odor on it, the rope forpulling up ourbow, our knife that has little bits of deer blood and guts onthe sheath, etc., etc. I'd suggest a good dusting of scent absorbing powder. Sprinkle some more in there at least once a week. I think it's made a difference for me.
