RE: Scent Lock

I don’t know if I am a believer in this carbon. I think if you control your breath that helps tremendously. Plus the stuff is very expensive and has to be maintained. My vote is with the x-static under liner made by arctic shield. That with brushing your teeth with backing soda I was not winded in the same wind conditions as I was in the day before. The doe acted like she smelled something but it was not enough to spook her.

I have heard that in order for carbon to be regenerated it has to be heated to hundreds of degrees (F) and the clothing obviously would burn, plus the home dryer does not get anywhere near hot enough. There are now law suits against sent-lok http://trmichels.com/ActivatedCarbonScience.htm as there products have been proven not effective. There patent was also recently rejected.

I do believe in the sent spray killers and the sent killing laundry detergent. Also I think that gum-o-flage has some potential as well.

I think I will save my money for other equipment like new warm clothing when its below zero.
