I was just wondering if I'm the only one who stops wearing regular deodorant, cologne, and does not use the normal soap (old spice swagger) in the shower for four months out of the year. I only shower with scent free soap and use scent free deodorant regardless if I'm hunting or not.

Lol....yeah, right here. Guilty. I do most of my own laundry because my wife has to deal with the kids never ending piles of clothes, so for these four months I'm even using scent killer laundry detergent on everything. I don't want to put on clothes smelling like Tide then change into my hunting gear. Pretty much from October to Feburary, it's scent free everything from deodorant to detergent. I smell like a ghost. Lol.

I realized the other day I've got 5 bottles of scent killer in the shower and nothing else besides the wife's and kids stuff she tells me I have problems. I told her at least she won't have to buy me any soap for awhile.

I don't don't wear any smell good stuff during deer season. I even go as far as to wash my normal clothes in scent free detergent.
 
I usually buy the Sure or the Arm & Hammer unscented deodorant and use Ivory soap pretty much year round. Shampoo I use what-ever the wife or kids have unless I'm getting ready for a date with the treestand, then it's what ever unscented stuff I have left.

Sounds like I'm not the only one then. I've conditioned the ol lady to understand the ways of scent control, She don't think I'm that crazy anymore lol After smelling the scent a way fresh earth detergent last year the ol lady said we need some to wash the bed sheets and shower towels in, I said ok!

Along the lines, I've pissed and moaned enough about scented laundry detergent and dryer sheets so we only buy unscented stuff that way as well. I still go through the ritual of cleaning things up with unscented/no UV brightener detergent but it gives me more peace of mind that it's already pretty close to being ready when I take over to wash everything.

Not quite as extreme as you guys but close. Irish Spring most days, but the days I am hunting it is scent free soap. Arm and Hammer scent free deodorant started a couple months back. Not a huge fan of it, but I use it. Not a cologne guy unless you count the smell of mulch, firewood dust, two stroke mix, or grass/dirt, all mixed with some sweat.

You guys are not very hard core, I heard of a guy that used to do all that stuff you are talking about plus, shaved all his body hair, drank nothing but apple juice and water for months, ate apples and smoked up by a campfire in the "big woods".
