No matter what you do to eliminate the scent you must be down wind if possible. As has been said wear only the bare minimum going to the stand. I quit wearing hats and long sleeve jerseys even the wicking type still hold scent after they dry. I use a climber and I use to strap my pack to it then hump it in but if I carry it with one hand and my bow in the other I don't seem to sweat as much. Unscented body powder in my boots and on me seems to help a little. I wear wicking socks or merino wool socks never cotton. Also Odor Eater shoe inserts with carbon filtering help cut down on the foot odor. They also sell scent free wipes which are good for wiping your face and neck down when you get up in the stand. Good Hunting To Ya!
