How often do you wash your hunting gear?

I wash them about every week that I hunt 3 days or more in them.

For starters I like to rain wash them. Leave them out in the rain and then let them air dry. Thats how I prep the clothes for opening day. Hang the clothes outside if you can or maybe on a screened in porch to let the air whip thru them.

I also like Scent Away earth scent spray for cover.

it all depends on what season it is, and how much i have sweat. but usually the scentblocker gets washed before the season and maybe 2 or 3 times the rest of the year.

I try to wash my hunting clothes before every trip to the woods. If possible I take a scent free shower before I go as well. As deer hunters we don't have alot working to our advantage, so I figure every little bit helps. If I'm on a camping/hunting trip I bring scent free clothes in a sealed bag and after they're dirty i stand by the fire before I go hunting. The smell of the smoke won't spook the deer because it is a very common smell in the woods and deer don't associate it with danger.

I wash mine after every hunt. Most of the time I only hunt on Saturdays so that would be at least once a week. I shower with HS scent free soap, spray down my undergarments with scent away spray, then spray my outer garments before I get in the truck and when I get to the woods I spray the outer garments again, then I clip on a fresh earth wafer. When I wash my clothes I usually dry them in the dryer but I'm probably going to start letting them air dry out on the porch and see how that turns out!

HS earth scent dryer sheets work really well too. Throw a couple in and it keeps your hunting clothes from smelling like the load you had in before.
