Lighten up, Francis. It was a joke.

Francis that burnt stuff on the trees is carbon! You've stumbled onto natural carbon scent control.

Yeah, and removing it would only increase carbon emissions which will piss off Al Gore.

So its carbon? not pitch?  try simple green it usually works better before washing the other that may work is soaking it in oxi.  Usually I can get charcoal out just soaking in cold water and using dish soap but thats been always before trying any washing.  Warm/hot water sets things like blood carbon grease and then you are kinda hosed.

 Well, one way is to bury it - I found that 7 days is minimum 14 days is better- especially for skunk scent..then wash.
Or tie it off and drag it behind the boat for several hours- (in the water, not going down the road on a trailer) also gives clothing that distressed look some pay extra for...

Or take a dab of dish soap, work it in then spray WD-40 over the area. That will remove dam near anything.

I use to take a black magic marker to all my Blaze orange stuff to add random black spots to it. If I have to wear that gaudy blaze orange I might as well add a touch of breakup so I done look like all the other pumpkins out there with one solid mass of color.
I doubt the critters care one way or the other, but it makes me feel ............. more stealthy,

Hand sanitizers work wonders taking out sticky stuff and dirt on hands and clothing like pitch, glues, paint, ink and the like. Just rub it in slowly and repeat a few times. Not sure how it will work on carbon stain though. Just consider yourself carbon neutral now and free to pollute the woods

Nice tip with the hand sanitizer!

hand sanitizer also gets ballpoint pen and other pen marks of formica just like that.  Use caution on walls as it will also strip paint.  accidental janitoring discovery I never use hand sanitizer but the dental clinic had it in the rooms and some spewed on a counter upon wiping it up it removed pen marks I had been fighting for a week.
