items from the probing eyes of our big brother. i'd especially like an area
that is airtight to mask any aromas.

thank you

javier,
The chemists and food scientists I know have told me that the nose is a
fantastically sensitive instrument, capable of detecting parts in millions.
Also, having lived in the hinterland, I have smelled the aroma given off by
alfalfa when it is being processed for feed by some form of forced drying.
The only other place I have come across this distinct odor is at a rock
concert.  I'm wondering if carrying around a bale of alfalfa for your horses
might be what you need to do.  After all, it has often been said, if you want
to hide something, put it in plain view.
