I've got the proof it works.
Forget the wind just hunt.........
When carbon is heated with steam or carbon dioxide at 1000°C in the absence of oxygen, it becomes activated carbon. The activation process gives the carbon a porous interior and an extremely high surface area—a unique combination that makes it an outstanding material for absorbing odors.

More facts ...........
Whatta ya say now............[

And, just 5 grams of activated carbon has the surface area of a football field to absorb odors.

Do they make a Scent Lok in that size?
As Roy D. Mercer would say, "How big a boy are ya?"
Another question I have, is what happens to that carbon as soon as it is re-exposed to oxygen? Won't the gases in the normal atmosphere bond with the carbon on a molecular level? It seems to me that as soon as you take this thing out of the vacume chamber its already starting to loose its effectiveness. I'm sure sitting on the open air rack and getting fondled by customers half the year doesn't help... nor the fact that most large hunting retailers allow dogs inside the store. And lots of customers smoke and walk around the store eating food.
And a 1000Deg C steam cleaner isn't exactly available from Wal-Mart for in home delievery?
Its not that I don't believe in this stuff, I'm sure it doesn't hurt at all, and may well even help... but the more and more scientific it becomes... the less likely I am to believe it. I know charcoal soaks up stuff, the military has been using it for decades... but thats litterally charcoal.... I come out looking like a miner, and its terribly uncomfortable....

No one here has ever doubted that activated carbon adsorbs odors, the bone of contention was "for how long", and general disagreement with some of the manufacturers more outlandish claims contradicting established scientific facts. Yes, it does work for awhile, no, you cannot "regenerate" it at home regardless of any claim to the contrary.
