My uncle just recently fixed up our family deer camp. Now there is a musty old smell in it and we have put air fresheners everywhere and that doesn't help. Does anyone know what will.
I hunt too. I'm not trying to make it smell all pretty that would drive me insane. It's everyomne in our family that doesn't want the musty old smell.
Answer
Thatâs part of the charm of a deer camp to men. Making it smell fresh as a daisy isnât high on the list of most hunters. Instead of going with artificial aromas think organic. Cut some pine boughs off and hang them in the rafters to give off a nice pine smell. For a faster scent shave off a small pine branch into slivers and place in a bowl or pot in the middle of a table as a kind of potpourri. There are many plants for scent and my favorite is mint which can be found growing near streams. Go online and look up plants growing wild in your area for more natural scents.
You donât want the hunters going into the woods smelling like air fresheners unless itâs a natural scent and most air fresheners smell like chemicals to me and my nose is way smaller and much less sensitive than a deerâs.
NOTE
I didnât intend to be condescending, just helpful.
If the smell of smoke would be better, just start a small fire in the stove, place some green pine branches on it and damper it down all the way with the door of the stove cracked open a tad and smoke the cabin out. I have done that to rid cabins of unwanted critters also. When the smoke gets thick enough where it rolls out the windows, it should smell like smoke now. Lol
Hey its better than the smell of a dead pack rat that we had to deal with!

How to build a small, cheap, good house in a forest?
MYduckstol
Me and 7 other friends want to build a small wooden house in a forest, behind my friends house. Were all 14 and have a little bit of carpentry skill. I'm wondering on how to build a nice house and what we need. We live in Miami and want to build it over the summer

Buy this book (used if you want to save money):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1586857800/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=acomprar-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1586857800
This is the latest installment in a long string of wonderful books from David and Jeanie Stiles. Inside you won't find glossy, double page spreads of extravagant treehouses ... this is not a coffee table book. Rather, it is a how-to book, and the best one available for those that want to build their own whimsical play structure. Inside you will find excellent line drawings and readable explanations of intelligent, creative, and well though-out designs.
David starts with the basics: tools. From there you follow a complete and logical progression to completed treehouse. In between you'll get solid building advice. David has built his designs. He knows how to make life easier for you by using common materials and minimizing cuts. The building advice is spot on throughout.
The huge, huge, huge problem with this book is the 20 or so options David gives you for connecting lumber to tree. They are almost all bad. Never girdle a growing limb with rope or cable. Never use nails. This leaves you with only lag bolting. To be sure, there are other ways. But the only safe and tree-friendly way presented in this book (and any of his other works) is to use lags.
This is the by far the best book to give to a young builder and is probably a treasure to any 8 or 9 year old lucky enough to have a copy. It will get their mind working. The crazy schemes they come up with will amaze you.
The ideas inside this book are great. Fun, imaginative, unique. If you know a young boy (or girl) with a tree, get him this book. And when it comes time to actually build their creation, call an arborist and he'll set you straight about properly attaching it to a tree.
