Default Getting blood off a backpack?

So I bagged a decent buck yesterday and while packing it out (by myself, quartered it in the field) i got a bunch of blood on the right side shoulder strap and belt.
Not a big deal but does anyone have a trick for taking it out?

Leave it on. It will be a good story, and good camo.

My wife recently showed me that cold water takes blood out better than hot. Apparently the heat "cooks" the blood into the fabric. I can't argue with the results.

Take it to a drycleaner, might have a spot remover process that would work.

If so; try to have a bull elk, a bull moose, and a few whitetail stacked in the back of your truck when you pull into the parking lot. Then go over to get some Tech Wash

1: Soak in cold water for one hour, rub with soap, wash.

2: Sponge with cold water, spread paste of starch and cold water, dry, brush off lightly.

3: Leather-Dab with hydrogen peroxide, let bubble, wipe off. Or, pour a little peroxide on stain, soak in cold water several hours, launder.

Found that info on a stain removal guide in the laundry room. Hope it helps.

X2 for cold water. Lots of it and there won't be a trace. Hot water, the stain is there forever.

soaking in cold water usually extracts the blood nicely.

Brake Klean!!

I had a buddy in an accident and he needed a ride to the hospital and got blood all over my passenger seat. The only thing that took it out was break cleaner. I think the actual name on the can was Brake Klean.
