Personally, I use scent-free laundry detergent that you may buy in any store. Then hang clothes to dry outside rather than tumble dry. I have also used this same detergent to shower in - no scent again. Finish by spraying your clothes with a scent killer like Wildlife Research Scent Killer. I think all of this will accomplish the same as the Dead Down Wind kit but will only cost a fraction as much. Then hunt the wind! Cause no matter what you do, you still breath, you still shed dead skin, you give off odor in small amounts. My preference is a blind, but I think I am in a minority. But what I would do if I were able to set you up is put up a blind off to the side of a good feeding area or trail - and I would have the blind up perhaps a week in advance. Would brush in the blind and make it so you would be near invisible. Hunt when the wind is in your favor and hunt when there is a moderate amount of wind to conceal your noise when setting up. I find that on dead-still days, deer will often hear me setting up and I see nothing. Sneak in and wait. Deer won't smell you, hear you, or see you. That would give you the best chance. Once you get that first deer, you can try other methods.
