RE: Do you think Scent Lok is a must?
 

Without reading all of the replies, its not a must. But in my opinion being winded by mature does and mature bucks is the biggest reason a hunter is "found out". Sometimes winds shift and thermal air currents change and can't be helped. Though I've had a mature buck catch me because of movement, I've more times than not been caught because of being winded.

RE: Do you think Scent Lok is a must?
 

That is a good summation of your input to most threads.



Yes, I do.


Never said that.........try reading closer.


I couldn't care less if anyone agrees with me or not..........I corrected your statements because they were not true.



Every reply I make to a carbon thread is an educated one ;)

RE: Do you think Scent Lok is a must?
 

If you listen during huntimg shows they still worry about wind, correct direction correct. I think the best word to describe it would be MARKETING!

RE: Do you think Scent Lok is a must?
 

keep your money! take a shower if you must (play the wind dude-play the wind.)

RE: Do you think Scent Lok is a must?
 

How did I miss this thread?
I'm sure you're all aware of the lab testing Scent-Lok had done this year. It was intended to dispell the question of reactivation.If it made sense to you and it changed your mind about SL , then great. If it didn't , then great again. I won't go into the testing. It is readily available to you.
I know that some will argue that SL paid for the testing. They did. If they didn't do it then who would? The government? No. The non believers? No again.
I had a member on another forum tell me he was sending a sample of SL to a lab he was affiliated with. He would have it tested and then report back to me and the forum it could not be reactivated. That was2 months ago and he will still not answer my PM's. I want to know what the findings were. He won't fess up. Hhhmmm!!!!
You non believers can do the same if you would like. I would welcome your findings. As long as you are honest.

Do I think you NEED Scent-Lok? No , you don't. Do I think it works? I do.
Do I hunt the wind? Yes, I'd be a fool not to. Do I worry about a wind shift or a sudden swirl? No, I don't. Does Scent-Lok adsorb 100% of human scent? I don't think so. Does it adsorb enough to fool a deer's nose? I sure think it does.
DO I work for Scent-Lok? Absolutely not. I work for myself.
Do you care what I think? Probably not , but I thought I'd share.

That's what forums are for. But I'll pass on the hug, thank you. [8D]

Arthur we all know you are a hugger;)

"lab testing"...............


I couldn't care less who paid for the "testing".........whoever did wasted their money because it was pointless.


Very similar to when you said you were going to dispell all the SL doubts with documents to prove it's validity..........then you posted a cocktail napkin with some handwriting on it

I posted MANY items in the thread started by SL with questions about the "testing" that was done........I know you remember because you were posting as well and I said it would be better to let the author answer instead of us debate..............I got NO replies from the SL author.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

I posted study after study discussing ALL the components that have been discovered in human odors and not JUST the highly volatile ones that were conveniently part of the SL infomercial.............the silence was deafening.



This is always one of the funniest things I see........"believers" Let me give you some help on this one......if you have to "believe" in something that is being sold to you.......you're boned. There is nothing to "believe" in or not...........science doesn't work that way. It is black and white, right or wrong, fact or fiction........that is why analytical minds are drawn to it.

RE: Do you think Scent Lok is a must?
 

Alright, despite whatever agenda TRMICHELS (link to site above) might have, after reading the article, I think he probably has it about right. In the article he in fact concedes that Scentlok does reduce odor.

However, his beef lies in his theory that it does not absorb the amount of odor that the manufacturer would have you believe. Nor does it last for as long they would have us believe because not all of the odors it absorbs can be broken down and de-sorbed under the heat limits of a household dryer. Therefore, since some of the odor causing elements remain in the carbon, you don't start with a "clean slate" each time the suit is re-activated and, eventually, with all the carbon filled with these compounds which cannot be relieved, the carbon no longer absorbs anything.

So, I don't think there's any question that the carbon helps absorbs odor. The question is how much odor is absorbed (refer to the fabric picture) and whether, if the suit eventually fills with compounds that cannot be relieved at temps. possible in a household dryer, the manufacturer is misleading us and/or whether that fact justifies the increased expense.

And why most scientists find God hard to "believe" in.

I wear this stuff on the off-chance it works even a fraction of the amount they advertise. I paid less for it than most did their regular camo....so the price thing is debunked. It's a great fitting, quality garment whether it has scent-lok capabilities or not.

I kinda look at it like a.....a butt out tool. You can get by without one....but it's cool to have around in case it helps out some.
