I just received an order of new scent blocker and since the bags aren't tightly sealed do I take care of it as I do my older stuff and wash in scent blocker wash and hang it or should I just spray it with scent away and hang it?

Seen one study,lot of that scent stuff,including the one above mentioned didn't really work. I think they had dogs try to locate people using it or not. It made no difference at all to the dogs.

We humans stink,that is all there is to it.

I think it is better than nothing. But too many people think it is a cure all. Your scent is still out there. Maybe filtered or covered up to some degree.

It always amazes me, you take your dog for example,put wet rubber boots on that you think will have no scent,take a walk. Your dog will have zero problem tracking you down.

That's no fair. Not a good comparison. Your dog can find you anywhere.

But in all seriousness, I would just do what they suggest - the manufacturer. Or call them to find out. Never owned any of that but I don't knock those who do. Whatever gives you an edge so long as you play the wind. More power to you.

Since it doesn't really help I would do what is the easiest.

“Like all odor-adsorption technologies, our fabric must come into contact with odors for the odors to become trapped,” Edberg said. “If you give odor an easy way out, it’s going to take it. Don’t leave the top of your jacket or your cuffs open. You have to force the odors through the fabric.”

Like Carbon Alloy, you can regenerate Trinity apparel by putting it in a dryer on high for 40 minutes. Robinson Outdoors recommends only washing Trinity clothing when soiled, as washing breaks down the fabric more quickly.

      Trailer Jack upgrade

      Nice!   It would be great if they had some kind of brake, so you don't end up on your neighbors YouTube video going down the driveway! 😆

      Trailer Jack upgrade

      By SkunkedAgain · Posted

      Last month I went searching online for a trailer jack with pneumatic tires. Instead I found the video below showing a relatively quick and easy upgrade to your existing jack:     It's worked pretty well. I definitely had to mess around with finding the right combination of spacers, washers, and locknut pressure that wouldn't bind up the wheels. However, it is a pretty sweet setup and allows me much better control. We live at the end of a half-alley. My garage faces the end so when I need to hook my boat up to the truck, I have to pull it out into my driveway and then swivel it 180 degrees to face towards the street. The handle is what really makes the difference and now the trailer jack wheels don't slide on the asphalt. Has anyone else done this conversion?

      I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately.   At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult.

      Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits

      Bait

      By gimruis · Posted

      That's part of it.  Several recent years of drought have definitely played a role.   There's other factors too.  MN does not allow importation of live bait from other states either.  That really affects the amount of golden shiners available, most of which are not trapped here.  In other words, demand exceeds supply.   Lots of bait trappers and dealers have simply hung it up in recent years.  Its hard work for not much money.  The two nearest me are both done as of last October.  They both told me its just not worth it anymore.  One of them had been there for 45 years.   My advice would be to learn how to effectively fish with artificial lures more often.  I've slowly weened myself off the use of live bait nowadays.

      Correction, rainbow minnows are at least 75 cents each, and leeches are $60 per pound. lol

      Water Temps 48-52. I tried for crappies and caught two walleye. I can't even crappie fish. 1/32 ounce jig and a tiny minnow
