This is a new thing for her....Teresa and Fred had a fun tradition of choosing names. On a long ride, or sitting around the house, they would fire away at each other with name ideas. Some really great and classic wool pattern names came from this.
But thing are different now, and she wants to tap into your creativity. I will follow up with some better details tomorrow, but start throwing out suggestions, and each post will be a name in the hat. Here is the pattern:

You missed one: Jack Pine. It does kind of look like Jack Pine bark. I think it would be a very usable color. Sometimes our camo gets too dark.

Let me enhance my suggestion with my thought process.
First the pattern, not color is consistent with the timber and woodland ghost patterns, so ghost must be included in the name.
Second, the color has hues similar to Little Delta plaid, which of course is named after Alaska’s famed location. The hues are reminiscent of the beautiful changes colors of the tundra in the fall.
Fred always said the Arctic tundra home of the caribou is one of the most spectacular places to bowhunt in North America. In fact, he successfully hunted all five species of caribou.
This pattern is inspired by the fall foliage colors of the tundra and willows of the north country that Fred loved to visit.
Tundra ghost just seems right.

Here is the pattern on a Pathfinder.
Thanks all, great stuff so far. This may seem like a simple thing, but this pattern was designed while Fred was still with us. Teresa and I were talking yesterday, and we agreed that this is one of the best. Fred would have loved it.
He wouldn't have named it right away....Teresa would have hung a piece of it in his office, and he would have thought about it as he read and wrote.
When Timber Ghost came out, I happened to be at the house when Teresa brought it in to Fred. We quickly went outside....hung it in the bushes, in trees, high up in a tree to simulate a treestand....it was neat.
Keep the ideas coming folks, it is very much appreciated.

I was looking at a piece of property not terribly far from Fred and Teresa's place prior to him getting sick. I had thought about it being a great place for a quick "ground hunt"....and had invisioned taking Fred there.
As things happened, I didn't buy it until a few weeks after Fred passed. I hunted it this fall, and certain things struck me that I know he would have enjoyed. There is a stream that runs through the property, and the best place to cross is adjacent a large burl on a cedar tree. "Cross at the burl" is something Fred would have liked. Looking through my pictures, I don't have one of the burl, but this is the creek. It's full of tiny brook trout, cold and clean.

I went hunting with a friend a few weeks ago. He was dressed in typical name-brand camo, and I was wearing my jacket in this new pattern. And unsolicited, he said, "That jacket you're wearing is way more camo than this stuff I'm wearing."
I don't have anything against name-brand camo patterns—I still wear a lot of it, in fact. But there's something about wool that really disappears in the woods, especially when the pattern is as good as this new one.
Post by: Michpatriot on January 29, 2024, 02:17:21 PM
I wore myWoodland Magic on 50+ hunts last year bow hunting and have fallen for your wool products head over heels! This new pattern is really cool! I can't wait to get this hooded jacket!
