Atlas,
I'm not qiute sure I understand why you cannot wash oils and protein off the carbon when you can wash these things out of cotton fabric.
I do not remember any reference to the carbon permenantly bonding to these substances unless I missed something. Does the carbon bond to anything or merely hold it in it's pores? Can you give me something to reference?

I don't think the scenario I laid out was anything different than what would occur on any hunt. Leaving the weather out of the equation does this not sound typical? And is humidity that critical a factor to the adsorbtion?

Something I would also like ask.
In the post you listed the many components of human sweat. You statad these are a mixture ofvolitle organiccompounds. We also know that carbon is ineffective at removing Minerals,salts and disolved inorganic compounds.
CarbonIS effective at removing volitle organic compounds from the air or vapor. (ref:Wikipedia)
When these components areseperated so to speakand the others left to pass through the carbon , do they have an odor of thier own considering they are no longer the same compound when they were produced?
