Scentlok vs Military Carbon Suits


moby1

Recommended Posts

another question from the beginner. Plan on first season of bowhunting next year and trying to gear up as I can. Im on an extremely tight budget and as everyone knows scentlok gear is pretty spendy. I was wondering if anyone uses the carbon military suits or how well the block your scent. Most I have seen are plain green or the old standard camo. I did find a place to purchase british pant/jacket sets that have what I think looks like a much better camo pattern than the US or solid green. In the size I need, the guy sells them for $25.00. Its prety hard to find a regular pair of camo pants alone for this price so seems like a win win situation. I was just wondering if anyone has any opinions or experience with this type of hunting clothing.

Thanks

Here a little bit to think about. All the camo gear and in scent lock is just fine and I do own it all and use it. But, dont get caught up thinking you have to have the scent lock or you wont get a deer. Always play the wind in your favor and if you are hunting in a tree stand, if you get up high enough then it doesnt matter near as much.

I use to hunt with a guy that just wore green and brown clothes and he never had any problems and always shot a deer.

Brent, Harvey nailed it. I use some plain camo military. Put my extra money into more deer stands. Play the wind like harvey said, take a shower with unscented soap and keep your gear in something scentproof, spray with home made scent killer ( another money saver ) and your good to gooooo. Good luck on your first year.

I hunt with a Kentucky longrifle using patched round balls. It requires me to get close to whitetailed deer. I have shot about a half a dozen deer. No deer was shot further than 20 yards. I have to, by law, wear blaze orange. None of the deer knew I was there till I shot. I shot all on the ground as I am afraid of heights. The point is, the other posters are right. Don't waste your money on scentlock clothes. Instead, get a goose or turkey feather and watch the wind. Neither settlers or Indians had scentlock clothes grin.gif.

I do believe that scent lock clothes are good to wear. If one doesnt want to spend the money you can still hunt.

If I am chasing a trophy buck and think I have him patterned, then before I go after him I will have all my ducks in a row including the scent lock clothes.

They are not a must as some say, but they sure dont hurt.

Thanks fellas. Hopefully with bowhunting, I will have more opportunities of places to hunt than I do for rifle season, including public land that doesnt get touched until gun season. For rifle season I have one spot of private land to hunt with friends. Due to the terrain, access, number of guys and number of stands (4 guys on 70 acres all surrounded by private land that gets pounded for gun season) and land boundaries, it is next to impossible to play the wind.

Thanks again. Time to watch some hunting videos. I cant wait!

put in my order yesterday for the military suit. Buy now price of 19.99 + 10 shipping and handling. I figure I cant even by a pair of camo pants let alone pants and coat for that price.

    • Luxury RV camping has become increasingly popular in recent years as people look for ways to enjoy the great outdoors while still enjoying the comforts of home. With the right equipment and preparation, luxury RV camping can be a truly unforgettable experience. In this essay, we will provide you with the ultimate guide to luxury RV camping, including tips on choosing the right RV, selecting the best campsite, and packing for your trip.   The first step to planning a luxury RV camping trip is to choose the right RV. There are a variety of different types of RVs available, ranging from small and compact trailers to large and luxurious motorhomes. The right RV for you will depend on your budget, your travel plans, and your personal preferences.   One popular option for luxury RV camping is a Class A motorhome. These motorhomes are typically the largest and most luxurious RVs available, with spacious interiors, full kitchens, and even multiple bathrooms. They often come equipped with high-end features such as leather upholstery, flat-screen televisions, and high-quality audio systems. Class A motorhomes are also the most expensive type of RV, but they offer the ultimate in comfort and luxury.   Another popular option for luxury RV camping is a fifth wheel trailer. These trailers are typically larger than travel trailers and are designed to be towed by a pickup truck. They offer many of the same amenities as Class A motorhomes, including full kitchens, multiple bathrooms, and high-end features such as surround sound systems and flat-screen televisions. Fifth wheel trailers are often less expensive than Class A motorhomes but still offer a high level of comfort and luxury.   Once you have chosen the right RV for your luxury camping trip, the next step is to select the perfect campsite. There are a variety of different types of campsites available, ranging from basic, no-frills campsites to high-end RV resorts with all the amenities. When selecting a campsite, it is important to consider your budget, your travel plans, and your personal preferences.   If you are looking for a truly luxurious camping experience, consider staying at an RV resort. These resorts often offer a wide range of amenities, including swimming pools, hot tubs, fitness centers, and even golf courses. They also typically offer high-end services such as concierge service, valet parking, and room service. RV resorts can be expensive, but they offer the ultimate in luxury and comfort.   If you are looking for a more affordable camping experience, consider staying at a state or national park. These parks offer a variety of different campsites, ranging from basic tent sites to RV sites with electrical and water hookups. While state and national parks may not offer the same level of luxury as RV resorts, they do offer the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the outdoors.     Once you have chosen the perfect RV and campsite, the final step is to pack for your luxury camping trip. When packing for a luxury RV camping trip, it is important to focus on comfort and convenience. Pack clothing that is appropriate for the weather and activities you have planned, as well as comfortable shoes for hiking and exploring.   In addition to clothing, it is important to pack all the essentials you will need for your trip. This includes bedding, towels, toiletries, and any medications or other personal items you may need. It is also important to pack food and drinks, as well as any cooking supplies you will need for meals. If you are camping in the cold weather, bring the Ocoopa Union 5s rechargeable hand warmers are easy to use for camping. First, charge it, then turn it on, and finally, place it in your gloves or pockets. Additionally, the rechargeable hand warmer has 4 heat settings, allowing you to adjust the temperature to various weather conditions. With a large 10000mAh battery, it can provide up to 15 hours of heat and could use as a power bank, making it an ideal hand warmer for extended outdoor activities.   Finally, when packing for your luxury RV camping trip, don’t forget to pack entertainment options such as books, movies, and games. While luxury camping offers many opportunities for relaxation and outdoor activities, it is also important to have options for downtime and relaxation.
