Looks like my memory isn't shot yet, how the hell did that happen?

Searching the web turned up:
- 1 quart of hydrogen peroxide 2%
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 2 teaspoons liquid soap (Dawn dish-washing soap works best)

I have never used it but the skunk guy was shown mixing it up and using it on his dog.


This is the concoction I carry when camping -- only my recipe is 1/3 cup of baking soda.

Fortunately haven't needed to use it but we've had many skunk encounters.

DO NOT PRE-MIX this stuff. Carry the ingredients separately and mix only if you are applying it immediately. The mixture will fizz and, I've been advised, explode if sealed in a tight container.
