This ultra fine powder is great for absorbing moisture from perspiration and absorbing the associated odors as well. This makes it especially good for foot wear, shoes, boots, etc...
Hunters Edge® makes a very good insect repellent by absorbing body odor. Most insects are attracted by odor. Hunters Edge® also relieves the stinging and itching from insect bites and stings, the burning and itching associated with contact from nettles, poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac.
For the Hunter, especially the bow hunter and camera hunter, it is best to wash all clothing with 1/4 cup powder. Do not dress in hunting clothes until you are in the woods. You will want to dust yourself liberally with Hunters Edge® before you put your clothes on. You will want to carry extra Hunters Edge® with you so that as you perspire you can apply more powder to your underarm area and your head and face.
If you plan to camp or hunt in areas inhabited by bears it is also a good idea to store all your food items in airtight containers with All Purpose Packs to ensure against the bears smelling it. (Note: Bears have without a doubt the most acute sense of smell of any animal on earth.)
"...the hair began to rise on the back of my neck...Standing there about 150 feet in front of me on a stump ...was a cougar...Then another cougar walked out of the brush...They should have smelled me. But I was wearing my Hunters Edge Powder so they could not... The smaller of the two cats came walking right up to me and stopped 15-20 feet away...What a beautiful sight they were...I will never go into the woods without my Hunters Edge Powder on..."George Hatfield - 1994 |
For the outdoor fan who takes along the dog who tangles with a skunk, the Hunters Edge® will also do a very good job of deodorizing him after this ordeal. Work the powder into coat, especially face and muzzle real good and leave overnight. Then brush out. If you have access to plenty of water you might want to try washing your dog using additional Hunters Edge® powder.
For the angler apply a powder to hands before baiting up so as not to transfer human scent to hooks or lures. After catching your fish apply powder to hands to remove fish odor.
Remember, enjoy your stay in the wild, but when you leave, leave nothing behind. Always live by this rule: If you pack it in, pack it out, and nature will be there for all of us to enjoy for a long time to come.
