I know you are new and reading all kinds of stuff about being scent free and all that. However, you will never be scent free unless you are inside a plastic bag and learn how to not breathe. I see guys putting clothing inside a bag with all kinds of stuff, pine branches,leaves dirt etc, doing that brings scent into the woods with you to your stand. You will be much better off learning habitat, deer habits and how to read what they are doing and where they are traveling and bedding and getting your stand in the right location and being cognisant of the wind than getting all wrapped in trying to do something that cannot be done. The hunting industry has done a good job of pushing the scent free necessity for their own pocketbooks, not for hunters. When I still smoked cigarettes, I had a butt in my mouth almost every time I dropped a deer and that was a lot of deer. those deer were down wind, up wind and cross wind when I shot them. Don't get too tied up with minutia and learn the basics of hunting, that will help you for the entire time you hunt. Good luck.
