Oh man...Some people just don't realize what they're missing on an early morning. It's one thing I enjoy more then anything else when I'm hunting or camping, the clean, cool scents of the forest.

I have to agree with JokiJo, on this one.
Old canvas tent, woodsmoke and the smells of pine floating in a mountain breeze, really rock. Those memories are my strongest and most affectionate.

Thanks,

The smell of an alfalfa field while you are moving handlines through the wet alfalfa. Not big on cut hay. Grew up on a farm. Milk barn in winter. Old milk barn. The smell of the timbers, the animals, and the straw in the corner. Summer was a different smell.

I like the smell of a fresh asphalt. Don't know why.

Pop open a fresh can of tinkertoys. Smells great!

I scanned every post and didn't see this listed (and it really suprised me):

Play Doh.

Man I love that smell. takes me back to when I was in grade school, and now back to playing with my daughters. Of course I love most of the smells listed already.

I am from the desert part of Arizona (yes, we have a lot of forests here), so I like the smell of wet dirt after a good rain. Most desert rats like this.

I guess that's because that smell, that gasoline smell, smells like..."Victory."

- Freshly stacked hay bales,
- that pungent mix of saltwater and fish that you get around most salt water harbors,
- freshly steamed crabs in a Maryland crab shack (Old Bay and mustard),
- Freshly exposed soil (as in the forest after you move a rock)
- The first sniff of water vapor in the air after coming out of the desert
- a moderately stale and musty basement
- Jet engine exhaust (spent JP4)
- the scent of a woman (au natural)
- A scuba equipment storage room in ANY tropical location
- Freshly cut lumber

A lot of great smells here. Bacon and cofee cooking over the campfire in the morning.
Speaking of gunpowder smells, does anyone remember the Peter's Blue Magic shotgun shells? Those were the best.
