When not in use, small tents and camping gear are typically folded or rolled up and stored in nylon pouches or bags. These bags are designed to be lightweight and compact, making them easy to transport and store. However, because they are made of nylon or other synthetic materials, they can trap in odors from the gear that is stored inside.
For example, if a tent is packed away while still damp or dirty, the nylon bag can trap in the moisture and odors, creating a musty smell. Similarly, if camping gear such as sleeping bags or cooking equipment is stored in the bags without being properly cleaned, the odors can linger and become trapped in the nylon material.
It is fairly common to have to pack up camping gear when it is damp from rain or dew, especially in areas with high humidity or frequent precipitation. This can be a challenge as damp gear is heavier, takes up more space, and can lead to mold and mildew growth if not properly dried out.
When camping gear is damp, body odors and other odors can be exacerbated due to the moisture creating a breeding ground for bacteria. This can result in musty smells, mildew odors, and an overall unpleasant camping experience. It is important to properly dry out gear before packing it away to prevent odors from developing and to maintain the longevity of the equipment. Using a combination of sunlight, airflow, and absorbent materials like towels or cloths can help to speed up the drying process and reduce odors. Additionally, using odor-neutralizing sprays or sachets can help to freshen up gear that may have developed odors.
Cleaning your gear, like your nylon tents, sleeping bags, hammocks and cooler at the end of each trip is the best way to remove the microbes and organic materials that can quickly develop into mold and mildew.
Using an effective microbial cleaner, that addresses both the surface soils and penetrating odors is the best means of protecting both the integrity of the material (against destroying fungi and bacteria) and keeping your gear fresh and odor-free against your next outing.
Introducing the ONE Spray & Wipe Starter Kit - This kit provides you with everything you need to create up to 15 Quarts (nearly 4 Gallons) of ready to use spray & wipe cleaner from tablets that are about the size of an aspirin.
Never live in dread of the potential odors you might encounter when unrolling your tent or sleeping bag on Day 1 of a new backpacking adventure. Ensure your gear and coolers will be fresh and odor-free with the inclusion of a PACK AWAY 30 cabinet within your musty or smokey-smelling gear, or the once fishy cooler.
Simply prepare a fresh PACK AWAY 30 cabinet by opening and inserting the Tyvek encased granules into the protective, plastic cabinet and inserting it into the center of your rolled up sleeping bag, your bagged up tent or your closed up cooler.
