Problem: Article: Activated charcoal is useful for removing bad smells, bacteria, pollutants, and allergens from air and water. It works by trapping odors, toxins, bacteria, pollutants, allergens, and chemicals into the numerous tiny pores within the charcoal. Wrap some activated charcoal in a linen sheet or cloth, then place the charcoal wherever it’s needed. If you don’t have linen, choose a tight-weave breathable fabric, like cotton.  Avoid using fabric that has a detergent or bleach smell. The charcoal will absorb these smells, too, decreasing its effectiveness. For improved air purification, position a fan so it blows air over the charcoal. As air passes over the charcoal, it will be purified. Store bought water filters can be expensive, but you can achieve the same water purity inexpensively by making your own water filter. Take a clean sock that doesn’t smell of detergent or bleach, insert the activated charcoal, and clean water by pouring it through the sock. In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of bentonite clay, 1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) of activated charcoal, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of turmeric, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of honey. Then add water a little at a time to the mixture until it is smooth.  This masque is known for pulling out toxins and unclogging pores. The natural ingredients used in this masque will be safe for nearly all skin types. Apply the masque in a thick layer to your face for 10 minutes, then rinse it away. Add 500 milligrams (0.02 oz) of powdered activated charcoal to 12 fluid ounces (350 ml) of water. Drink this mixture before gas producing meals or when you start feeling gassy and bloated to alleviate the symptoms. Taking charcoal with non-acidic juice (like carrot) will be more pleasant than taking it plain. Avoid acidic juices (such as orange or apple juice) which will make the charcoal less effective.
Summary: Understand how activated charcoal works. Purify the air in your home. Make a charcoal water filter with a sock. Make a clay-charcoal facial masque. Treat bloating and gas with activated charcoal.

If you hunt alone there are a few things you need to do differently for safety reasons:  Always take a fully charged cellular phone. Tell someone that you are going hunting and the time you plan to return and stick to your return time. Have someone check on you just to make sure you returned safely. If you do not have firsthand knowledge of your hunting area you may want to carry a GPS device or do some research of the area such as purchasing a topographical map of the area and studying it; remembering that local landmark or stream could make that little difference if you should become lost. Scrapes, rubs, and game trails are signs of deer frequenting a particular area. Be sure to hunt in shooting range from signs.  Scrapes are spots in the ground that bucks have dug out during rutting season. The earlier you find scrapes in the hunting season, the more reliable indicator they are of good places to hunt. Rubs are abrasions made by rutting bucks who scrape their antlers against trees. The size of the rub is usually a good indication of the size of the buck. Deer have amazingly keen senses, especially hearing and their sense of smell. Masking your own scent is a good means of giving yourself a better shot at that trophy buck. If you don't want to have to shell out beaucoup de bucks on cover scent, try using baking soda instead. Mix a tablespoon of baking soda with unscented soap and use it in the shower before the hunt. Put some in your boots; create a "lasagna" with your clothes by layering baking soda and clothes; you can even brush your teeth with baking soda if you're intrepid. Baking soda is an easy and cheap scent cover for all manner of hunter. Seasoned hunters will rely on myriad techniques to entice the deer over to where they're waiting. You have a number of different options:  Try using deer calls. Deer calls can be made using your own voice or can be produced mechanically by using a "doe in estrus" can. ("Estrus" means a peak time for sexual receptivity.) Simply tip the can over with a quick folding wrist action to simulate the estrus bleat sequence. Doe estrus scent. Use doe estrus spray or bring along a rag soaked in doe estrus urine to the hunt. In some cases, the buck will follow the scent of the doe straight to you. Buck urine in the early season. Bucks get very territorial in the early season, especially when they're sparring. Covering your scent with or using buck urine in the early season can have its rewards. Rattling antlers in the early season. Rattling antlers sends a sign that other bucks are sparring, which attracts bucks in the early season especially. Use this to lure bucks from far away.
Summary: Invite a friend or family member. Look for signs in the woods as you begin hunting. Use cover scent to conceal your odor when you hunt. Lure or entice the deer over to where you are.
