Lol...yep sitting still is prob the best camo you'll ever get...cant argue with that...
Im led to believe its the phosphates in washing powder that have the effect your talking about OB.
I understand those "enviro friendly" laundry detergents/powders dont contain those phosphates.
Still, no point as said above, putting in wash machine if you normally use nappysan or the like, as will still contaminate clothing.
I dont hunt to warrant the extremes marksman goes to...however a few years ago i was shooting on a dairy farm that had deer coming & going i had a little moment of obsession with the hunting clothes & stored them in sealed bag...
In that sealed bag i had another bag the likes of what is used for soil/rock samples in mining industry--they hold dirt etc but let air flow...in that bag i had a tuft of lucerne, bit of dirt & part of dry cow pat, & leaves of trees planted there.
Before storing clothes theyd get handwashed in water a few times & hung to dry for long periods in bright uv filled sunlight...
I stopped doing it becsuse i mostly just shoot foxes & bunnys from a car...
Maybe tan up a few foxes & rabbits & one sambar & stitch yourself up a good hunting jacket...those animals always seem well camo'd in scrub...
The man who knows everything, doesnt really know everything...he's just stopped learning...
