Use for old swim trunks...

[CuseHunter]

Well I have a new stand that is in a great spot in a pine tree, so I wanted to put pine branches and needles in my tote bin that I store my clothes in. With that being said, I didn't want needles getting everywhere and getting pricked wearing my gear. My solution...

I had an old swim suit laying around that no longer fit me.

Cut out the mesh lining.

Brought over that lining and used the sewing machine to make a couple mesh bags. I left a small (~4 inch) opening at one end.

stuffed it full of some springs from a pine tree

Used a pin and folded over and pinned the opening shut.

 

It works great, the mesh from the trunks is perfect because the holes are super small, the needles can't even get out. Defintiely a nice addition to my scent control,  was easy, and FREE.

nice satchel. lol

Why stop there when you could sew a pouch right into your clothes. Like a hunters potpourri.

Hell it might be more fun to just put them in the bathing trunks and swim a few laps....

 

 

all kidding aside

 

I just use a large Walmart plastic tote, put pine in the bottom and them cover with a hand cut piece of camo burlap material. Keep the togs separate from the pine, but they do have a niece smell of pine on them.

 

One other tip is to use 4 oz of apple juice in the final cycle of your wash, then hang out to air dry.  Gives a faint odor of apple. great if you are hunting in old apple tree area... 

 

Please make sure its only 4 oz, one guy poured the whole bottle 32 oz in and then said it was my fault that he could not stay in his tree stand because of bee's after him...

Using womens stockings would have saved you some sewing. Cool idea though.

Like the stockings idea.

very clever! Be sure to be careful hunting in areas with your clothes that do not have pines, you'll introduce something foreign and they'll know it.

why do you have to put them in something, why not just drop them in the tote?

If ever wash my hunting clothes I'll have to try that....

You guys do know that they make mesh bags for laundry "delicates", right?

I didn't want the pine needles poking me in the tush when they get all over my underclothes.

I think it's the inner man in me who just likes making something useful out of something I don't use.

Great idea! Could also double as an interrogation device should the need arise.
