I am also not a big fan of scent control commercial products. I do wash my hunting clothes in baking soda and store my gear in rubber-maid containers. I also change before and after entering and leaving the woods. That's all I do besides always being aware of the wind.

I also store my self climber and other gear on the screened porch. I think keeping your gear in the gararge is not in your best interest. Treat all your gear the same.

Good Luck!
