    Thinking about trying out some of the waterproof dry sack to put my clothes in when im going to the field. I know they are for boating and camping and what not but i figure if it waterproof itll keep the scent out... sportsmanguide has a deal you get 3 of them for 15.00..... Does anybody use these types of bags??

    I use them all the time. They work great for keeping your stuff dry. As far as the keeping the scent out it might make your stuff smell rubbery. Unless you get one of the drybags that aren't rubber.

    I use them for our overnight float trips in the Missouri Ozarks...

    I've also got a huge Magnum one from Cabela's I pack all my hunting clothes in for our elk trips out to Colorado... not to scent-proof anything, but to keep my clothes dry when we throw the bags on the trailer we pull out there.

    They're the only way to go to put gear in for trips up here. I do use one for my scent free clothes put I pretty much soak and rinse it in scent killer spray a few times first. AK907's right, they can have a rubbery smell, especially when they get hot.
