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............[:o]

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

New teamsurface for Michigan Football...cover up the stench!

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

A hot air ballon doesn't have the surface area of a football field.

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....

Finally some proof...wheeew!

I was getting tired of turning my hat backwards when the wind was blowing from behind.

LOVE IT!!! GO BUCKEYES

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

Yes fact you guys play here every other year leaves a stench:D

I'm not beaten nothing [:o]

I've got the facts to back up every thing I'm posting.

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

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.

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

Right On! Ha Ha

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

Nobody has said activated carbon doesn't work. What's been said is it's not possible to regenerate/reactivate the carbon to any appreciable degree in conventional home laundry machines. Which means after a while it doesn't work any more. How long it works depends on what contaminates it has adsorbed and how much.

I'm gonna put kitty litter all over me next time!

With the right promoters hunters will buy any thing.

The butt hole tool seems to come to mind when I think of other stupid purchases hunters make. :eek:

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

Agreed

Here's what I've been lead to read in the past in regards to Carbon Suits:

I bowhunt for the primitive aspect of the sport, not the technical innovations. If I wanted to "Forget the wind, just hunt," then I wouldpick upmy beanfield rifle. It carries minute of angle out to 400 yards, and the only wind I have to worry about there is in mph and deflection...

Sorry Jim, I just couldn't help it...:D

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

You might of missed just this one....:eek:

If I roll around in the catbox before I hunt will that make me invisible to deer?[&:]

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

No Jim, I realize you are speaking tounge in cheek, I'm just adding fuel to the fire.

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

Hey I can only give you the facts.[8D]

How you use them is up to you.

Consider this a public service message brought to you by your friends at Meow Mix......[:-]

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

Well who is gonna heat their expensive (ripoff) clothes to 1000 degrees Celcius. "TECHNICALLY" it works, but how its used for hunting not a chance. Ill say it once and ill say it again, activated carbon clothing does not give hunters an advantage. Its a waste of money.

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

Some refuse to see the forest for the trees.......... I don't think I can explain it any clearer. [8D]

You got that right...... If Tiffany Lakowski (sp)began promoting the butt hole tool as the best field dressing tool since the invention of the knife, stores wouldn't be able to keep them on the shelves. :eek:

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

Not only that think ,what 1000 Celsius would do for your cat.

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

Hey Jim, Got any links to hunting clothes that "Clump" so you know when to can them:D

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

Once again I feel strongly that the 1000 C degree's would make your question mute.I have never experienced clumpingduring my limited usage.

And therefore can't see clumping as a down fall when this product is used properly and as directed. [&:]

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

I will have you know Mr. bawanajim, I posted this in another thread a week ago and you had better read the fine print buster.;)

The print in parenthesis that is.

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

No, but you shouldn't have any trouble getting a table at the waffle house if ya do.[8D]

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

You wanna put that in English for me????

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

By the way...... http://www.fastestbows.com/articles/corrigan/scent_suits.htm

Ive posted that website a hundred times and ill continue to do so im sure. Read it. It explains how much of a ripoff activated carbon clothing is and how it works technically, but how it doesnt help during the hunt. How it actually works about the same as non-activated carbon clothing. Ripoff.

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

Hey so how do you keep the deer from smelling your breath? Hold a mouthful of kitty litter? And what if you gotta fart? Ooooh Ibetter not try to answer thatquestion.

RE: I've got the proof it works.
 

In that case they are Dead Down Wind and you just go pick them up:D
