Back when I was playing paintball and airsoft, I put together a ghillie. Mine was rigged out with netting glued to the outside flaps of molle pouches, by and large, with a hood attached to the top of the plate carrier, and then dyed jute and burlap in varying thickness and colors attached. I would also tie on leaves and twigs from the field. Made for a nice modular ghillie that allowed considerably better access to equipment than the usual. I should probably figure out how to mass-produce them and patent the idea :)

I bet you could make a lot of money from it.. back when I started we wore jeans and jackets, I eventually got a pair of surplus fatigues but now I see all the tons of stuff they have out for paintballers.. it is a huge industry..
 
it's the pink collar that ruins the look.

I hear ya... can't really blame him/her. Or even a fox or coon, for that matter.

I love birds of prey and four-legged predators, they're just plain fascinating and cool. If you have a yard full of fresh slow-moving meat like chickens or bunnies, sooner or later one of 'em is gonna become a meal before you planned on it. It's like a buffet for critters :D That's just the nature of, well, nature.

Having said that, I have no problem blasting the thieving bastards if I see them in my yard. ;)

Somewhat surprisingly, I have found that brown and especially grey blend in much better with the forests where I grew up and live now, than green does. Take a look around your typical woodsy setting... it's not green at all from just above the ground to ten or twenty feet up. It's mostly tree trunks... which are hardly ever green or camo. :D The leafy greenery that's there will break up your outline whether you spent money on fancy pants or not.

Unless you're standing perfectly still or actually up in a tree or buried in a sniper "hide" or turkey blind (in which case, you're pretty much camouflaged by the trees, branches and leaves anyway), most "camo" patterns either stand out like a sore thumb, and/or blend into a big blob of dark color anyway. Regardless, as soon as you move, you're seen.

Camo is wayyy over-rated, and mostly marketing hype. There, I said it!

Couldn't agree more. I do have some Realtree Extra (pants, t-shirt, jacket), but the last time I went pig hunting (at night), I wore a black UnderArmour shirt and green Dickies pants. The pigs didn't seem to mind.

I disagree. We did several... more than that we did a lot of test in the Army with different, solid color materials and different camo pattern materials, in different environments, some staged environments as well just to learn how effective different camo patterns are compared to the same solid colors, green, brown, tan etc. etc... We tested the old BDU camo patterns against the new ACU type digital camo patterns and everything.

Tested, tried, and true. Camo patterns works better than any single color in most all environments even snow. Its easier to have multiple shades blend in, than to match a single color to a natural landscape, even if you were an exact match, which is damn near impossible, we found that its easier to see the lines of where the object begins and ends with single colors than it is with camo patterns with multiple color shades in it.

Granted, when I retired, we were still wearing BDU's.... But, from what I've heard from the troops, despite all the testing, they are not happy with ACU's. Part of it is the flimsiness of the construction and use of velcro, but a lot of soldiers aren't happy with with the pattern either. Most seem to prefer MultiCam, but that could be partly due to the "coolness" factor of only getting the MultiCam if you were going to the 'Stan. I do agree, though, that camouflage patterns do help break up the human outline but finding a good one is as much art as it is science.

I have no idea how big those images are. Swiped them on my phone and zapped them to Photobucket. If I just jammed your screens, my apologies.

A moonless, cloudy, rainy night is the very best camo of all. Almost any dull, drab color or pattern will work just fine (although I avoid solid black, despite what ninjas say... it's too bold and "contrasty", and cuts a very crisp silhouette, which again, stands out like a sore thumb). I've actually snuck up on myself under those conditions... :eek:

:p

I'm sayin :thumbup:

Baby blue is always the best bet for that. It brings out the sparkle in even dark brown or hazel eyes, and really makes green eyes "pop". Also, a moderate amount of eyeliner, and just a touch of mascara if you do not have naturally thick, long, luscious lashes like I do. Trust me on this, I used to play guitar in rock bands. :thumbup:

They got 4 of them, 2 of the bottles and 2 of the bigger kits and they have sat on the shelf since.. the boxes are all beat up now.. I check on them almost every time i go in the place.. some day they will have them on the clearance isle..

Next time you go in there, if you've got a half hour to kill, find an employee, have them get one of the department managers, and make an offer. Or ask what would be the least they'd take. You'd be surprised, even at that place. They don't want stuff sitting on shelves, but unless you bring it to their attention, or Corporate finally issues the move order, they'll just sit there. You might even get a better deal than when they red-tag them; have you seen what they're trying to sell 40GB IDE hard drives for?! All they can do is say "No". But if you're lucky, you'll own one or two or all of them for a bargain price. And then you can send me one in thanks for this tip.

....those other 'heads can't deny....
Made up my own words to that song when my kids were little, running around naked all the time. I like baby butts and I cannot lie, those other papas can't deny, that their baby's butt looks so cute, when they runnin' 'round in they birthday suit! There's more, but I've already revealed too much.
