SANITIZE SCENT FREE

New Scent Free Hand Sanitizer from DDW perfect for use after harvesting game

and during peak rut/Flu Season.

            Pleasant Valley, MO – Dead Down Wind^®, an industry leader in scent prevention, introduces Instant Odorless Hand Sanitizer.  This 4 oz bottle of hand sanitizer kills 99.9% of common germs and is odorless in less than 5 seconds.  It even removes any hand odors in the process like cigarette or gas odors not just bacteria based odors.   

 “Unfortunately, the peak hunting seasons seem to correspond with the peak of the flu season” stated Dead Down Wind GM, Gary Reed.  “Our new Odorless Hand Sanitizer not only eliminates virtually any contact odors, it helps you maintain good hygiene, limits the spread of germ and fits easily into a pocket or fanny pack.”

 The Odorless Hand Sanitizer removes all odors including gas, carbons, hydrocarbons, pungent odors, even knocking out contact odors like gun cleaning chemicals, smoke odors and food odors.  The FDA certified sanitizer cleans, disinfects, and is totally odorless in seconds.  It is ideal for clean up after field dressing animals, and helps limit the exposure to diseases that can be transferred to humans from animals like hogs. 

 The 4oz bottle when used as directed will provide 58-60 applications.  Use the scent free hand sanitizer:

• After field dressing an animal
• After cleaning a firearm or contact with gas
• To remove all contact odors before leaving for the field including cigarette odors
• After using the bathroom
• Before eating or drinking anything
• Before and after handling raw foods, fish, poultry, or eggs
• After using a public phone
• After riding public transportation
• In schools and day care centers
• After changing diapers
• When one is sick
• After shaking hands
• After sneezing or coughing

 It just makes sense to use the new DDW Odorless Sanitizer to knock out odor and 99.9% of the common germs we come in contact with everyday.  The Odorless Hand Sanitizer has an MSRP of $4.99

      About four months ago the Up North Journal crew launched a new website to prepare for the new outdoor show Beyond The Wild.   That new web site was the beginning of the transformation that we as the UNJ crew were about to make.  Since that time we have added several new staff members to give you a view of the outdoors from all over this nation.  We didn’t want to just focus on the Michigan area, we wanted this new adventure to encompass what hunting, fishing and the outdoors looked like from several different perspectives as well as from several different states. 

     With that goal in mind we knew it was time for a new look and feel for the UNJ experience, so we came up with a new logo to showcase what we were about.  The logo you’re looking at is fresh as well as bold.  It completes what we are focused on, a broad range of animals as well as a wide range of the outdoors.  The whitetail deer is hunted all across this nation and is well recognized, the Canadian goose has flyways from east to west and the Trout is fished all across this country.  These three species cover the nation and are pursued by many outdoorsmen and women, and that is why we chose them for our new logo.  The circle that surrounds these animals on the logo completes the circle of seasons that gives us the opportunity to pursue them.  The black and white color scheme is simple yet bold, which explains who we are.  We are simple everyday outdoorsmen and women but we are also bold in what we stand for, the right for all to enjoy the outdoors.  Right in the middle of it all is the Up North Journal name which is right where we want to be, in the middle of it all!

     Take a moment to stop by and look at the new layout and if you’ve never been to our website www.upnorthjournal.com, stop by and spend a few moments to see what we have to offer.  We have 13 active blogs from fellow staffers who want share their outdoor experiences with you.  Featured on our front page is our weekly podcast “Up North Journal” which can be played directly from our site along with our new outdoor show “Beyond The Wild” which is a monthly show that can also be played right off of our front page.  The Up North Journal staff is “Changing Lives One Outdoor Adventure At A Time”!

66 year old Tom Healy of Rockford Michigan landed a possible world record Brown Trout this last Wednesday morning on the Manistee River in Manistee County Michigan.  The new state record and possible world record fish weighed in at 41 pounds and 7 ounces measuring 43 and 3/4 inches long!  To read the details of this enormous fish Click Here.

     This episode we take you out on the BIG waters of Lake Huron in Saginaw Bay to chase the tasty walleyes!  Next we get our hands dirty working the soil for the upcoming deer season by getting our food plots ready for planting, plus a few other odds and ends!
