    Pine needles and accorns. Boil a pot full with water for about an hour or so then strain it and put the water left in a spray bottle.

    Also you can smoke your clothes which I have found to work a lot better than any kind of spray or scent eliminating clothes etc.

    Find any type of treebark you would like and build a small fire with the chips and hang your clothes over it for a couple hours just keep the fire going and stash your clothes in a trash bag and keep them somewhere dry usually not in the house because it'll stink the house up. You can buy a smoker specially for this but I can't remember what is called. The best results I've had are from hickory and pine chips you can buy from Walmart or make your own. It works and don't let anyone tell you any different. Look up some threads on here about it and see the results everyone else has had. It's awesome and more importantly CHEAP

    After you smoke your clothes how long will it be before you have to smoke your clothes again?

    I use vanilla in a spray bottle with distilled water and it seems to work good for me.

    We use the Scent Smoker Scent Elimination System scentsmoker to smoke our clothes. Just makes things easier to handle when trying to smoke clothing and equipment and then to be able to put it out easily. Our method is to smoke the clothing up one good time and store everything in totes. When we are preparing to go out for a hunt we usually fire up the smoker again and smoke our boot bottoms, equipment, hands, hair and face, etc..

    You can wash your clothes with white distilled vinegar. It's the best sent killing detergent that I have ever used. The acid in the vinegar will kill all bacteria and contains nothing to fade your clothes. Using the extra rinse cycle will assure that all of the vinegar smell is removed.
