Scent Lok Storage
I was at Cabelas today and saw a green bag used to store scent lok for almost $60. While I use scent lok from head to toe, paying $60 for a bag seemed a lil excessive. You guys have any cheap tricks for Scent Lok clothes instead of buying the bag?

A rubber maid tub, you can get them for about $15 or you can get them big cloths storage bags. I use a big tub with some leaves and pine branches in it.

My local Gander Mtn has HUGE sales of the stuff every year.I got my Full Season gear(jacket and pants) plus the Scent Lok facemask for about $130 last year. Thats cheaper than most other camoflage that lacks Scent Lok...
My dad also grabbed the Scent Lok bag 2 years ago on sale for $20, which isn't to bad...

I do the same thing, but I keep my eyes open for Scent Lok sales.

I was at Gander today, and they had a Scent Lok bag on sale for $20, but I thought to myself, My rubber maid tub has been fine to me so I'll stick with it.

The rubbermaids do have a lot more storage. We mainly use the Scent Lok bag to transport out clothes to our parking spot, then we get changed.

RE: Scent Lok Storage
Whatever you do, DON'T store your Scent-Lok in a Rubbermamaid container. They are NOT airtight and will let foreign odors contaminate your suit when you're not using it. You need to use an airtight container such as the large Ziploc bags mentioned, a $20 Scent-Lok bag, or a Scentote (rubbermaid type container that is air tight and has activated carbon liner inside.)
Also, the worst thing you can do for a Scent-Lok suit is store it in a container with any type of material that gives off odor such as branches, leaves, grasses, cover scent, etc. Scent-Lok is like a sponge and it adsorbs all odors it comes in contact with, whether it's human scent or not. If you leave your suit in a tub with a bunch of cover scent, it will soak that all up and not have any room left for your B.O., which is the whole intent.
It doesn't do you any good to drop all that money on a Scent-Lok suit and not use it properly. If you wan to maximize your results, follow the proper care and useage guidelines and you'll be much, much happier.
EDIT - You can buy the bag here for $25.

RE: Scent Lok Storage
I've also found the large ziploc's aren't airtight either. I purged the air out of them before sealing them, and in a couple days they are puffed up with air....Doens't sound air tight to me.
I bought a vinyl airtight bag from ebay for 20 bucks. I was a little upset when I got it though.....It stinks like vinyl really, really bad. I've got it hanging outside airing out now, and it's getting better.
