I had a project with NPS photographing salamanders and part of the territory was along the Appalachian Trail. I'll never forget this couple who had clearly been on the trail for a extended time because they stunk. Like 20 feet away and the stink was still powerful - and this was outside. Yet I respect the gumption it takes to do this trail during the humid summer.

Yeah, we get pretty ripe :-)

After a month or two, the smell is pretty well settled into everything. Nothing really gets clean until it's had three or four trips through the wash. It should be added that synthetic fabrics stink differently from natural ones too. Don't know why, but it's not a stink most folks are accustomed to.
