Native Americans used to do 2 things to get rid of and cover their scent. One was to stand in the smoke of sweet burning grass, the other was to bath in streams of the area's they hunted in. If anyone has ever folllowed the instructions of SL they no doubt smelled the product coming out of the dryer, it smells like sweet burning grass. I've always put mine in on it's hottest setting, cooked it for about 40 minutes and removed it while still running, hot and put it right into it's own sealed bag (washed and sprayed hands of course).

Smoke is a powerful thing and anyone that's ever tried to restore something damaged by smoke from a fire will tell you, it takes some powerful stuff to over come it's smell. SL come's out of the dryer smelling like it's been in smoke and yes, dryers do catch things on fire, just requires a product with a low flash point. SL also warns the product can only be washed x number of times before it starts to lose it's effectiveness (what burns is washed out). This and more is what SL has hit on and all of it can be done by the hunter without buying the clothes except, the clothes are high quality and mine are very quiet.
I put my BDUs out in the yard for a few nights, maybe rub pine needles on them a bit. I always smell like sweet burning grass, so I've got a head start there.

My only issue with SL is that you cannot completely remove human smell no matter what you're using... just can't fool a deer's nose as much as you could a dog's (as it's been said here before).

If you're going for a smoke smell, start a campfire in the yard and hang your clothes over it. It's a lot cheaper.
