Title: Getting smell out of camo
Post by: Wetwoodshunter on October 06, 2019, 05:16:43 PM: Is there a best way to get the blood smell out of camo? I just returned from a trip from Wyoming and noticed my gear is getting pretty ripe. I have always just washed it with scent away products but tried to wash my stuff but it seemed not to work at all.
