Remove Odors
To eliminate odors, mold and mildew from tents and other gear without damaging the waterproof coatings or fabrics, use MiraZyme™ enzyme-based odor eliminator:
-
Fill a tub with just enough cool water to submerge item. For tents and packs add 1-2 oz of Mirazyme (depending on odor strength). Stir to mix.
Unzip all zippers, open flaps, etc. Submerge item in solution saturating inside and out. Soak for 10 minutes then remove. Do not rinse, the enzymes do much of their work while the item dries. Hang to air dry in the shade. Do not machine dry.

TRUE OR FALSE?
Heavy duty mountain boots are obsolete for backpacking.
True. But while the ultralight backpacking crowd (carrying 20 lb. packs) get by on trails using trail running shoes or even good sport sandals, most folks carrying heavier loads should have some ankle support. Well-made light hikers with a 3/4 or full-height ankle collar are usually enough for moderate loads on most trails.
