Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Smells you remember, like?

forgot about that, built many a model.

Lots of familiar good ones so far. A few more:

The faint oily smell of a passing school of swimming bluefish wafting up to the surface. The kind where you can stop the boat, cast even though nothing is breaking and no birds, and it be a wide open bite.

The smell of the Saudi Arabian desert the morning after a rain, when the desert has turned from brown to a light green.

The sharp, almost crystalline, smell from a mountain brook in late fall

The clean fresh smell of a saltwater beach, tinged with eau de seaweed.

Venison chile in the crock pot.

Trout cooked over a riverside fire in an iron skillet.

LePage's worked too.

Testors was better.

Until they put the garlic smelling crap in it.

I can't even describe what this smelled like, but it was rank. Combination of burnt plastic, rubber, diesel fuel, antifreeze, and oil. It's a smell that I'd like to forget.

Me to

I have 2 that my son and I are painting and glueing together

Testors......

Laffin...That would be too easy...More like the stench of sweat from hard work.

😎

Slum ain’t building models, rather huffing them glues to determine their viscosity.

LOL

forgot her name........she was in 10th grade.......

I was in 9th..........

For my buddy slumlord..................................


the smell of juniper firewood.

Her name was Suzanne Wolfe.

You're welcome.

My grandma didn’t cook biscuits and sausage

She was too drunk

The smell of fuel for RC planes my dad built and flew when i was a kid.

Hookers and blow................................
I have a bunch sitting just remembering back
Fresh fired shotgun shell has to be right up there
The smell of lumber when you walk into a house under construction
The smell of gasoline from 45 years ago when it still was real gas
Thanksgiving day food smells
and of course a fine sweet lady.

I grew up on a dairy farm and loved the smell of fresh turned dirt when I plowed. Its all no-till around here now so plowing as I knew it is extinct. My grandmother's apple pie fresh out of the oven. Hoppes number 9 and fresh shot paper hulls were great smells. And Avon sweet honesty perfume on a special girl who is long gone.

I'll bet Wabi didn't think about some of the responses

Well, maybe not in the way some of us think about them

is this her ?

Haha!

Smell of freshly fired Federal paper hulls in the duck marsh...don't think dad was amused as I would scramble to pick them up. And the smell of the garage when dad would get home late and have a limit of ducks laid out on newspaper.
