I would think it would be better to smell like natural smoke than human odor.
I can't speak for Hurc, but I pack extra cloths. Underwear and fresh socks is a must for me. I use the wind as a cover scent. Three pairs of light weight fleece pants for a 5-6 day hunt. I wear camo shorts and tee shirt in and they double as camp shorts thru the hunt. Boots I wear in, I have a coat lashed to my pack. This year we are going in scouting and bringing some gear and hiding it for season. I also pack in 2 pair of thermal long underwear for cold camp nights. I have a compact lightweight raincoat I stick in my shaker bottle for the pack in. We researched a lot before we made this pack and bought the right gear, and really had success because of taking advantage of others knowledge. Researching this kind of hunt and reading gear reviews is essential in my view.
