A true outdoorsman is no stranger to smells. After a long day of hiking or hunting it is natural to have smells emitting from your own body. In fact, many outdoorsmen go for days and even weeks without showering. For this reason, campers, hikers, hunters and outdoorsmen need a reliable deodorant to make him less offensive to his tent mates and the surrounding wildlife.
Synthetic deodorants are not always a good choice. First of all, they contain artificial ingredients like parabens, aluminum, triclosan, and phthalate compounds that can cause serious health problems down the road. A good alternative is natural deodorant. They are healthier choices because they contain organic ingredients that provide a woodsy musk scent that goes well with the outdoors.
Here are some of the best choices for natural deodorant for the outdoorsman.
