Scent A-Way or similiar products

[Passion Hiker 73]

Has anyone ever used or thought about using hunting products that eliminate scent for food bags or packs? I picked up these dryer sheets that smell like dirt(the package says "Fresh Earth"). My purpose was for my dogs food. I have his food(Purina One) in three 1 Gallon freezer bags now and I can still smell the food slightly. I was thinking of laying a sheet in each of his saddle bags. Just a thought. I have always been a double bagger of my own food and have not had any problems other than mice at the shelters. I guess do bears go for food bags because they smell them or they just stick out from their natural surrondings when hanging out of a tree? Passion Hiker

Bears have a very keen sense of smell and follow it to food.
If they ate things that stuck out from their natural surroundings then they'd probably eat us instead.
Forget the sheets and just hang it in a tree, nothin worse than a mouse eating a hole in a food bag.

Use some polyester over liners to put the dog food in. You'll have to twist them closed, then put that liner inside a large ziploc. You can pick up dog turds with the poly bags and you can't smell anything through them.

Hang your food even at shelters to aovid mouse problems. Also hang your cook set and toothbrush / paste
