Anti-perspirant/deodorant backpack hunt

[Catahoula]

Under arms get shaved and I use the travel sized Secret Clinical Strength “UNSCENTED” soft solid. As stated, less hair less bacteria. Everyone is chemically different. This set up works super for me in September.

Maybe I’m the odd man out here but I sweat more if I shave my pits. Arm and Hammer seems to be the best option for me.

I bring travel size, the weight is nothing. Smelling like BO the whole trip sucks

Agreed. I want to smell for a whiff of elk, and not get a whiff of B O.

 

[alexanderg23]

never use it.

 

[MattB]

Lavalin the night before the hunt and then a travel size deodorant when that wears off after 4-6 days.

 

[mtholton]

Use certain-dry. Put it on and you don't have to reapply for 5-7 days.

I use this days leading up to a hunt on pits and feet (top and bottom) I swear by this stuff. I still use anti pers, but the combination pretty much stops sweating which helps with scent on feet and pits as well as blisters.

So what’s your weight savings with this? You gotta count those ounces!

Shave everything clean to really save ounces! I’m gonna go Mr. Clean style this year!

 

[Superdoo]

Don't forget the hard to reach places. Got get those ounces down!

 

[Akicita]

Smoke bath and occasional charcoal dust when needed.

Don't bother with deodorant play the wind. I just use no scent handi wipes that are used to freshen up other body parts. Manscaping your arm pits before your trip also cuts down on the bacterial growth that causes BO.

 

[LookinforDirt]

Why not just wash your pits with a little soap and water every couple days?

 

[TradLife406]

So last year I said screw it and bought a Sea to Summit pocket shower, packed an oz of Duke Cannon pine soap and an oz of a stick of Baking Soda deo and a pack towel.
Man after a few days it feels good to rinse off and smell good.

Yes totally not necessary. Total luxury items. But if it keeps ya on the mountian longer why not?

It won't go with me on short trips, but for a long multi day trip I really like it. The pocket shower was the stuff sack for my quilt. So it's not a big deal to throw it in.

If you ain’t stankin’, you ain’t Huntin’

Be careful with the manscaping. If you go all the way down in between the cheeks it will feel like your ass swallowed a cactus by day 3 or 4 and I couldn't imagine hiking a mountain with a cactus in my azz. You will need lots of shea butter and monkey butt for that mess. Lmao. On the real though, mens nair is the way to go gentlemen. Last for like a month and isn't prickly when it grows back like when you shave. Just don't leave it on to long or you get chemical burn. Good idea to do it 2-4 days before your hunt.

Do you know this from experience or did a “friend” tell you??

Unfortunately from experience.... besides the climbing a mountain part. I had a hot date so I got the bic razor and shaving cream out and went to town. The next week at work was absolutely horrendous. I was unloading trucks at the time and it was over 100* in there. Never again. Cactus ass is a perfect description of what that felt like. Hahaha. I know it sounds weird but I definitely don't reccomend anyone doing that before leaving on a week long hunt in the back country with no medication for chafing or what not. Lol.

But did figure out how many ounces you saved???

 

[AK_Alpine]

I took a small (1oz) cutoff piece of arm and hammer solid in a zip lock in the field for an 8 day sheep hunt the last 2 years and never used it. I just try to wash up with soap if I'm near a stream and its been fine.

 

[ChrisAU]

Got this 6 pack this year, each one weighs 1.6 oz and they are nice and small. 1 should be plenty for a 5-8 day trip, so I have 2-3 years worth now lol.
