RE: UV rays?
I use a natural Baking Soda Detergent, that does not have brighteners added to it. I double rinse my clothes and hang dry them inside out in direct sunlight (if possible). I don' t use a UV wash and don' t think i need to either, as I have never had a problem with game spooking (provided I was concealed, movement minimal and good backing). I use predator style camo and believe in outline breakup as one key. However the 2 most important things are movement and backing. Some guys way over limb their trees when setting up the stand I prefer to leave as much as possible and side saddle into the stand, as opposed to going up the back. I also wear a white base pattern, with shades of black, grey and browns as my camo when hunting in the trees. I avoid green (unless hunting the pines), brown based camo patterns or dark base patterns while perched in a tree. The ground I basically try and use either white or brown based patterns, depending on the terrain. (my favorite patterns for a tree are: predator winter white and fall grey & on the ground: predator fall brown, fall grey and deception)
