scent blocker bags?
 

i returned from wally world tonite with these two scent blocker bags.i was assuming that i could put hunting clothes in them to keep odors off.the whole bag is nothing more than a waterproof nylon shell.was just wondering if they will serve this purpose or not.either way it's no big deal cause i only paid 2 dollars ea. thanks for the help in this matter.

I think they're nothing more than a glorified trash bag!! It's just a trash bag with a zipper so they can call it "scent lock". Throw some leaves and dirt and natural junk into a big ole trash bag and mix em around.

Genesis 27:3 Now then, get your weapons-your quiver and bow-and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.

They should serve the purpose.
Personally I started washing all my hunting clothes with Purex free&clear ,completely unscented laundry detergent(found it had less odor than even H.S. and much less $)and put them in a scuba diving nylon bag.The dive bag works good for scent control because its made to be completely waterproof(zippers and seams are excellent),it has many compartments seperated for wet or dry storage (which can come in handy),and has a great compartment for wet fins(that I use for rubber boots-mud and all)on the bottom .I picked up the bag for $20 and Purex for about$ 2.50 per 1/2 gallon.

I keep my carbon clothing in 2 large garbage bags. Works fine.

As far as scentblocking, they're worthless. I had called them once for something else and commented on the deceptive packaging and they didn't feel that was the case.

3D dad I did the same thing last year. I thought I found a good deal, but when I opened them, I discovered the same thing you did. I use mine for dirty clothes when I go hunting.

I have done this Tech. for years and it seems to work. I put my hunting cloths/access in those sealed containers (ie; rubbermaid) with some field/area natural materials, then put the top and done. I wash them in scentt free, air dry and pack them away in those containers for the offseason, in the spring/fall I replace the natural materials. When your going on a trip just throw it in the truck and fresh as a daisy, plus if you have camp fires, etc no smell gets on the clothes.

Not fancy but it works and the only cost is start up and a few containers with lids. Gives you a great reason to go scouting in the woods, to collect stuff for your container...works with my wife:)!

thanks for the replies.i was under the assumption the were lined with something or another to keep my clothes scent free.oh well i only paid 2 bucks for them.i currently keep all my stuff in a rubbermaid tub.no problem when i hunt around the house but when i go out of state i can hardly load up all my stuff.

2droptine, I used it all year and I killed 5 deer with my bow (3 bucks,2 does) I don' t know about UV(must not be too bad) ,but 1 doe was directly downwind when I shot her after 15 minutes. And I was only 12 ft high . IMO it works and is cheap !

This may be wrong info, but I have always been told Re:UV. Use a laundry soap that is pure with minimal brightners in or sport wash/uv. Wash inside out, Extra rinse and air dry. Also heard air dry in direct sunlight works as well.

I wash in a baking soda solution with no brighteners added (inside out), extra rinse and air dry. I then place in my container, until i hit the woods.

I hunt on the ground mostly and have had many close encounters with game, so I believe I must be doing something alright!

BTW, I also put fill the washer up to large load and run it through just water to make sure the fabric softner and tide is gone.

Junk I use a 30 gl tote. First i tape 3 earth scent waffers to the lid for a week.
Then I take two out put hunting clothes and rubber boots in WORKS GREAT.
When hunting pin on 2 earth scent waffers 1 on hat 1 on pant' s.
I have had deer walk down wind right up to my treestand. I do use scent blocker spray also.:eek:

RE: scent blocker bags?
 

worthless, as all " scent blocker" is in my opinion. My scent blocker is free, I ONLY hunt my stands if the wind is PERFECT.

Tink' s makes one that is lined with activated charcoal, but it costs around $20. I have used one for the last couple of years, but I don' t know if it is any more effective than anything else. I haven' t been winded in three years while wearing Scent-Pro and keeping my stuff in this bag. I have even had a bobcat come from directly downwind and stop under my stand to drink.
