What's the best way to store you hunting clothes? I made the mistake last year of putting them in a big tupperware bin in the back of the garage that gets damp and a few weeks ago I opened it up and eveything smelled musty? I needed to wash everything :mad:. Needless to say I won't be storing them in the garage any longer.
Also looking for an inexpensive way to store them in the car for those quick, before and after work hunts. Right now I just put them in an unscented trash bag with an earth scent wick.

Hunter Specialties have a scent safe travel bag that comes with cover scent wafers.They cost around $35.00 . I have had one for over 5 years . Never had any problems.

I bought this one for my son's clothes. And bought a bigger one for mine. I also throw a wafer or 2 in with the clothes!

If your not hunting in cedar don't use cedar for storage. The deer say, hey what's that smell, smells like a hamster...

watch putting your clothes in space sver bags or anything like that because they will get mildew on the you can buy "wafers" that stop moister and stick them in your clothes bag or anywhere you store your clothes
never better

save your money, keep the tupperware( thats what I use), just keep it out of the garage. mine is in my truck from now until the end of January...oh, yeah and hunt with the wind :D
I google-earth all my stands with a compass roseate on the map, then check weather.com for the wind direction before deciding to hunt a particualr stand. sounds way too scientific, but since I started doing that three years ago I hear far less of the dreaded snort from big mamma bustin' my stank downwind ;)

Just like all the crap you put on a Honda Civic will not make it faster than a super-charged V10 Viper, all the scent elimination gimmickry cannot superscede hunting the wind.
Still, you need to try everything. You never know when that wind will swirl on you. :(

I use the space saver bag(s) along with a cup of Baking Soda. No Scent, No Moisture, No Problems. Works Great.

Yeah I use the space saver clothing bags. You can get them at any super-market. I do use scent blocker and I have notice a difference. I am already very scent cautious, but a little more advantage helps.

Hang them in the outhouse overnight. That will cover any human scent pretty thoroughly.

scent loc duffel bag during the season. Use a ''dry bag'' for off season storage. The same bags they use for white water rafting.

Those oversized ziploc bags work great too. I put the clothes in there and push out the air. Then I put the bags inside a big plastic storage container with all my gear. The whole container gets tossed in the back of the truck whenever I am hunting.
