Thanks Sal! I was looking for "storable" foods for my earthquake kit.

I need a new tent too.

This site offer the option of untreated tents

Fabric Treatment -- Your choice of 3 types of treatment depending on your
need. It rains, snows, hails and the wind blows. . . ALL THREE TENTS WILL
PERFORM GREAT! The difference is how you treat them when you are done
with your trip. (All three wall tents are 10 oz. Double Fill Cotton Tents.)
a.. Untreated, no treatments whatsoever, for Mildew or Water Repellency or
Fire Resistance.
b.. Water and Mildew treated (Sunforger / Marine Grade / Boatshrunk).
c.. Water, Mildew and Fire treated.
Untreated Tents -- If you roll this tent up when it is wet and let it set
for three or four days you might as well throw it away, because it will be
ruined. It has mildew! You need to be absolutely sure an untreated tent is
bone dry when you store it for any length of time. We have customers who
have had these last 30 years and are still using them. We have also had
customers ruin their tent the first time out. (Note: you will also have some
shrinkage.)

YMMV, NFI

As for zeolite, I'd use it to get rid of new tent smell. I would not reply
on it for use to reduce or remove flame retardants and pesticides.

Do any of you know of a good tent to buy? And do you know if those odor
absorbers, like
deodordoc.com sells, would help at all? (I've tried to email deodoroc, it
gets kicked back).
