Default anyone try this?

ok...all the scent free talk...i think i came up with a very good idea...i keep all my clothes in a bag because i travel ALOT..back and forth from school..hunting from school..hunting from home..hunting RIGHT after work..i was checking out at your favorite place(walmart) and remembered i needed baking soda for the fridge at school..it can get funky smelling when im not there for a few days at a time...then i remembered..its in a box..that has a bag in it and the sides tear off to absorb the scent. i bought an extra box for 67 cents and threw it in my bag with my hunting gear. figured it cant hurt...and it does its job in the fridge...anyone else try that?? maybe i came up with a good idea for once?

i knew i wasnt a genious lol...but i really think it cant HURT and should help. if i dont put it in my fridge and leave it closed a while it smells FUNKY..if its in there its fine...so i think in a sealed bag with my hunting clothes it should work...alot of other things go into seeing deer then just scent..hang in there youll see em if your hunting right

I impregnate all my clothes with activated carbon from my lab.

But yea, baking soda will absorb extra odders.

If ya seal it in a bag, it can't really do it's job can it? It's gotta interface with the air.

Maybe if you poked some pinholes in the box and put the box in a cloth bag.

It'll absorb odors so remember to change it out periodically!

well my bags not actually sealed..zippered..itsa canvas or nylon bag..but its lined on the inside and waterproof..minus the zipper..and i open and close it enough for air to get in there. the box i bought is made for fridges..the sides rip off the box and there is a cloth type bag to let the baking soda do its thing...my bag isnt airtight and sealed...but better then just leaving them lay around the truck and such..
