  • Patent number: 6793881
    Abstract: A container and method for conditioning articles of hunting clothing and related gear so as to camouflage scents associated with humans. The container presents an enclosed space with an easily accessible opening where clothing and other gear may be placed. Within the confines of the container, one or more internal compartments are formed to hold natural, woodsy materials pre-selected as a natural scent source. Each internal compartment is provided passages permitting permeation of scents into the space where the clothing and gear are located, while preventing soiling contact with the scent source materials and the clothing articles. Each compartment includes a hinged portion such that source material may be changed or refreshed. Typically, the container is in the form of a transportable trunk with a lid pivoted on a horizontal axis.
