[at-l] stink

[gadog430 at charter.net (Gadog430)]

Mirazyme.

1/2 ounce, fill up bathtub with water, open all pockets in the pack. Soak
the pack for five minutes after you swish it around in the Mirazyme. Be sure
to push on the soulder straps and pad and the back under water so they soak
some of it up. Hang the pack upside side down to dry. DO NOT RINSE. If you
have a fanny pack that goes on top, treat it at the same time.

Mirazyme.
