Method of descenting hunter's clothing
A method for removing the human scent and any other scent that is not advantageous to the environment you are in from clothing and equipment used by sportsmen by the use of gaseous ozone or hydroxyl and hydroperoxide ions. The gas is applied directly or indirectly to the clothing, equipment and body while the hunter is in the field and/or prior to or after the hunt. The method can also be used by fishermen to eliminate fish odor. The method of delivering a gas in compressed/generated form from a container.
1. A method of eliminating scent from a hunter's body, clothes worn by the hunter, and equipment used by the hunter, comprising:
providing a portable ozone generator for discharging a stream of ozone;
transporting the portable ozone generator by the hunter into the field;
hanging the portable ozone generator in an open atmosphere in which the hunter and game animals are present and applying the stream of ozone directly on the hunter, clothing worn by the hunter, and equipment used by the hunter;
wherein applying the stream of ozone directly on the hunter, clothing worn by the hunter, and equipment used by the hunter occurs in the open atmosphere to deodorize the hunter, clothing worn by the hunter, and equipment used by the hunter to eliminate human scent and other scent foreign to the open atmosphere such that deodorized air travels downwind of the hunter.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the equipment comprises a rifle.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the equipment comprises ammunition.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the equipment comprises arrows.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the ozone is diluted with air and packaged in a compressed gas form.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the ozone generator produces 1 to 25 lbs. of ozone per day.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein the ozone generator produces up to 65 mg/hr of ozone.
8. The method of claim 1 wherein the portable ozone generator is hung upwind of the hunter.
9. A method of eliminating scent from a hunter's body, clothes worn by the hunter, and equipment used by the hunter, comprising:
providing a portable oxidizing gas generator for discharging a stream of oxidizing gas;
transporting the portable oxidizing gas generator by the hunter into the field;
hanging the portable oxidizing gas generator in an open atmosphere in which the hunter and game animals are present and applying the stream of oxidizing gas directly on the hunter, clothing worn by the hunter, and equipment used by the hunter;
wherein applying the stream of oxidizing gas directly on the hunter, clothing worn by the hunter, and equipment used by the hunter occurs in the open atmosphere to deodorize the hunter, clothing worn by the hunter, and equipment used by the hunter to eliminate human scent and other scent foreign to the open atmosphere such that deodorized air travels downwind of the hunter.
10. The method of claim 9 wherein the equipment comprises a rifle.
11. The method of claim 9 wherein the equipment comprises ammunition.
12. The method of claim 9 wherein the equipment comprises arrows.
13. The method of claim 9 wherein the oxidizing gas is diluted with air and packaged in a compressed gas form.
14. The method of claim 9 wherein the oxidizing gas generator produces 1 to 25 lbs. of oxidizing gas per day.
15. The method of claim 9 wherein the oxidizing gas generator produces up to 65 mg/hr of oxidizing gas.
16. The method of claim 9 wherein the portable oxidizing gas generator is hung upwind of the hunter.
17. The method of claim 9 wherein the oxidizing gas comprises ozone.
18. The method of claim 9 wherein the oxidizing gas comprises hydroxyl and hydroperoxide.
