Title: Advice?
Post by: alecvg on August 14, 2009, 02:28:23 PM: This past spring while scouting for deer season, I found a bunch of garbauge left up in the woods, most of it metal, so I packed as much as I could out in my Badlands Hypervent, but the stuff had grease on it, so now i have grease in my pack, so anything I put in there comes out black, kinda annoying, any suggestions on how to clean it out?
Thanks in advance

i would agree with the simple green idea.

Thanks for helping to clean up the woods. I hope your pack gets squared away.
