Odor Kit Supply Links

If you are just about to start on odor or have recently started and do not have an odor kit yet talk to me BEFORE ordering anything.  You do NOT need a lot of stuff!  This list is partially for “collectors" of interesting and odd hide vessels!

Basic Kit:

Pre-scented 1/2 Q-tip heads in Birch, Anise, Clove scents (15-20 of each)

3 labeled glass jars for storing the Q-tips (old jam size canning jars are just fine)

6-12 misc. vessels for use when hiding scented Q-tips in a search area

Vessel attachment items: magnets, U-Glu, earthquake putty

Long tip tweezers and/or hemostats

Latex or nitrile gloves or finger cots (optional)

Air-tight box to store all of your items in
