OK I have a new one…has anyone ever made a hunters soap? I have read everything from boiling acorns to using anise oil…any thoughts?

Actually, I disagree about the shrink-wrap -- but with caveats.  Properly dried and cured soap can be safely shrink-wrapped, and the shrink-wrap actually will make a huge difference in storage quality in humid climates.  We did a lot of testing with various wraps and discovered that as lovely as cloth and paper wraps were, the product did not stay nice during an open air event in typical Missouri humidity.  In fact, I could predict whether the clouds moving in meant rain or not just by watching unwrapped soap -- the naturally occurring glycerin in both CP and HP soap will draw moisture from the air to it.  A hard bar may soften, and the surface can become slimy and even beaded with water simply by being exposed to the humid air.  Shrink-wrap solved that product -- for us, and for the customer. 

This will not work well, however, if the soap has not been allowed to dry sufficiently.  To be more specific, when we operated the soap business, we cured in a humidity-controlled room with a dehumidifier on 24/7, set to drop the room's humidity level below 40 percent.  We used a minimum 30-day cure with 60 days being the preferred range, then packaged in that room in shrink-wrap.  I still have a small box of soap from that era -- it's 11 years old now, folks, still individually shrink-wrapped, and it's been stored for 6 years on shelving in my basement pantry room.  In Missouri.  No AC until the daily temps are over 90, so there's a lot of humidity.  The unwrapped soaps in the bathroom will bead up with moisture before it rains, and those shrink-wrapped bars have not discolored or degraded.
