Manure...serious question

Thanks for those ideas! Baking soda is a life saver for sure! I saw the freshly sprayed farm the next day. If you are downwind from a sprayer, you can literally be covered in a fine mist of the stuff. You don't have to be as close as you think or be able to see it in the air. Yeah, personal experience.... But it seems like alot of spraying is done for now. ? For us, it's the smell of home, sweet home!

Vickence are you sure the smell you noticed was not the goose down oil. When the down is damp from your body perspiration and dew from camping the down can get a bit rank. Some don't mind it I can't stand it.

Thanks for the heads up on that! This was definitely in the air and not just near the hammock. I haven't gotten the down moist enough yet to smell anything. I will pay attention to that, though!

Be thankful it doesn't smell like my poop!

Baking Soda breaks down easily, dryer sheets do not.

I use Baking Soda to clear odors, then I use it to clean stains or help keep my sink smelling clean.

I learned early on that a lot of plastic totes and bags have a strong odor of their own.

What kind of bag are you using?

I think there's a few ways to avoid the scent, the first would be preventive; avoid areas where you've got cow turds under you, haahahaha. Another bit to that, if it's just unavoidable and that's really the best spot... I've had that situation happen to me with a cow pie once earlier this year. It was relatively old, so I was able to kinda dig up some dirt and "shoo" it away with my boots.

If it's just really stinking, depending on where you hang your quilts to air out / store, I'd recommend throwing in a few dryer sheets in there as well, so long as you're not opposed to your gear having a "fresh" smell afterward. I use those same dryer sheets all the time when it's time to put the boots back in the storage closest, which seems to do the trick pretty dang well.

So since I'm at home I guess I can bail. What would you guys do? I'm pretty sure I don't want my underquilt or top quilt to smell like poop. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated. I think I am grabbing my downy underquilt and bringing it in the house...

Did you fart much in the night, maybe it’s stuck in the filling 🤪

HAhaha,

But I will tell you from experience that a downy dryer sheet in a zip lock bag for my cycle gear will only go so far. One in the helmet liner does a very poor job . Sun and air I have found is always the best. Frebrez is only very temporary also. Better if it is sealed in a zip lock but then you deal with moisture issues, so...... also not a good solution. I can not speak for down, I have no experience there. My $.02
