Well i put some bough branches in the bottom, then put my clothes in, then some on top and on the sides. the reason why i use bough branches is cause i hunt in the pines and stuff like that. But when i take my clothes out they dont smell like rubber...

I've been using a Rubbermaid type container for about 5 years now.I also line the bottom with spruce brows,and put a couple of earth scent wafers inside.I try to keep it outof the sun.If I'm hunting I try to keep my truck parked in the a shady area.I also lined the lip of the lid with some weather stripping to keep it as airtight as possible.

I have used Rubbermaid containers for years as well. I throw in a couple of earth scent dryer sheets, so it smells of fresh dirt every time I open the lid.
