    I keep looming at all the different bags but still like my giant plastic totes better. I just throw in a few ScentBlocker scent eliminator discs. May make the switch one of these days though.

    Are you using a scent tight tote or just a regular tote? I like the tote idea if they are scent tight.

    I just have regular Rubbermaid totes with 3-4 of the Scentblocker Oder Dry discs in them.

    I just use river rafting bags that I spray down thoroughly with scent eliminator first. They're completely airtight when rolled down, waterproof so you can just throw them in the back of the truck and they don't take up much room for storage at home. Just make sure you use the rubber ones and not the cheaper denier nylon ones.

    I use one of these:

    It's nice because it doesn't take up much room and I can just toss it anywhere in the truck. The downside is that it's kind of narrow so you can't stuff much in there and if what you want is on the bottom, you have dig it all out. Also, when it's really cold.. you have to fight with it to roll it down.

    Otherwise, I use those 'space bags' to store washed scent-free clothes in house/attic/garage. They're cheap and can be sucked down to save space. They're not very sturdy tho'.

    Plastic totes are the best...Put whatever you want in them and you don't have to pay for the Scentlok name. Besides playing the wind is part of the game.

    I use plastic bins and throw in used and unused scent free dryer sheets. I also put in liberal amounts of baking soda.

    I use the H.S. bags and the sprays. They work great and they hold a ton of gear.

    I picked up a huge scentlok bag from the WI deer expo last year for $10. I couldnt pass the deal up. I like the bag a little better than the totes because they take up less room storing and traveling with them. Granted you probably can fit more in a tote. But the bag holds everything i need it to so it wokr for me.
