RE: washing before hunt
I shower with Hunter Specialities green bodywash, then a rinse of baking soda solution. I don't towel off the rinse, just drip dry other than blotting my hair somewhat dry. I also use a baking soda rinse for my mouth before leaving. Washing yourself is the base of any scent reduction system, if you don't do that you'll smell stronger no matter how much you descent your clothing.
