How to activate Carbon clothing?
 
Well it has been proven to me that I need to get me some of this stuff. I just want to know how you all get the odor out of the carbon after it is fully absorbed. I need to know this before I order it. Thanks for all your input.

wash it in baking soda or a detergent made for hunting clothes. Then reactivate the carbon by the dryer. They also make dryer sheets for hunting clothes.

one time just for old times sake.

I use the highest setting on my dryer..now sit back and watch as the pages unfold as to how this is in-effective.

Read the production heading...unless you have a dryer that gets above at least 250 C or about 480 F it's probably not going to be it's most effective.

I was mine in sport wash.....dry it with scented sheets.....and store it with the same scented wafers. I then activate it with my dryer.

I kill deer with it on.

All doubters are free to argue and try to Dispute that FACT. If I killed deer withBrute (by Faberge')on and I thought it gave me an edge.....I'd wear that, too.

I don't know....what happens to it when I follow the directions and reactivate it by putting it into the dryer before I hunt?

I honestly don't know?

You tell me!

I bought it to be ONE TOOL in my arsenal. I'm not making grandiose claims about this stuff in here.......
