RE: home made scent killer
Do a search for homemeade scent eliminator in this forum for the last year and you should find it. I think its 8 oz. hydrogen peroxide, 8 oz. distilled H2O, and 1 oz. of unscented liquid soap.

RE: home made scent killer
I don' t have a chemistry background for making " scent eliminator" , but a great way to store your clothes, is ot get the " zip-loc" vegetable bags, (They are micro-perforated) and fill them wiht stuff from around your hunting area, leaves, pine needles, moss, etc. and pack it in with your clothes. Put everything in one of those giant zip-loc bags until ready to hunt.
Since the vegetable bags are micro perforated, no dirt or other stuff gets into your cloths, but the natural aroma permeates quites well.

RE: home made scent killer
This is from a post last year. I have tried it and it seems to work.
I' ve been using my own brew for a couple of years now. Undoubtably, it is better than anything you can buy and cheaper also. Cost less than 50 cents for 16 ounces.
Here are a couple of examples of how effective it is: Last fall I accidently spilled gasoline on my hands while filling the vehicle. I figured the morning hunt was ruined. But I sprayed some of the stuff on my hands and the smell of gas was instantly gone. This spring we shot 2 hogs. After field dressing them, you can imagine how I smelled like a bore hog. After spraying myself down you would never have guessed I had been anywhere near a hog.
Actually, this stuff is strong enough to take skunk oder off you dog. That' s mighty powerful.
16 oz. hydrogen peroxide 1/8 cup baking soda 1/2 oz. of unscented soap
Stir until the baking soda is completely disolved. Then, let it sit at least overnite or until it quits foaming. Pour it in a spray bottle and you are all set.
Some guys like to cut the mixture with distilled water. But, I preferr to use it full strength.

yeah i dont need any snow camo....sounds like it would be a little hard on your clothes. My brother did something with boiling acorns a bunch and then putting the water into an old spray bottle, smelled like acorns but it didnt last, got all nasty and stinky.

RE: home made scent killer
I got this recipe from this very site last year. It seems to work well, but even w/the distilled water, you' ve got to be careful. I sprayed (okay, soaked) my hat a little too much, and after wearing the hat all day, it had lightened my hair a little.
Ingredients for Homemade Scent Killer:
16 oz. (2 cups) Peroxide 3%
16 oz. (2 cups) Distilled Water
1/4 cup baking soda
1 oz. unscented shampoo (I use Cabelas hunting shampoo)
Mix in a large bowl (don' t shake up in milk jug) so the baking soda dissolves and pour into jug.
Let sit for several days, so the chemical reaction settles down, and don' t leave in a tightly sealed container! I use a gallon milk jug with a snap on cap. You can use the above amounts in proportion for a gallon, you do the math, lol. I have several used sprayers and fill them from the gallon jug.
