Bear Grease Removal from Backpack

[Mr. Fishunt]

All,
I was fortunate to kill a Montana black bear this fall.

My backpack, a Mystery Ranch Metcalf, was soaked with bear grease from the pack out.

Do any of you have any personal experience recommendations on the best way to remove this from the backpack?

Right now, it smells like lard. It isn't a bad smell, i just want it gone, once and for all.

Regards,
Mr. Fishunt

No first hand experience, but I would bet $100 that dawn dish soap, and a scrub brush would clean it out nicely!

You'll probably want an enzyme acting degreaser to get it clean.

Dawn Powerwash might work...use it at first when things are dry.
