Now that is cool. Definitely gonna try that. I hunt a brackish coastal marsh with unique vegitation, and commercial camo doesn't blend very well.

Nice video. I have considered doing something like this myself. I have a couple of questions. Does the paint leave the fabric stiff and rough?  If so, is there a way to use fabric dye that would not smear and bleed into a large indistict blob? I can foresee a run on the thrift stores coming up.

To much work for me.  I recently did a tan mil surplus polypro.  Grabbed a black, brown, and green sharpies and went to town.  My 2 year old especially liked the process and would be happy to do all of the drawing if I'd let her!

Appreciate your approach.  Great video. Thanks.

Funny as about 30 years ago I used to think that a perfect camo would be khaki pants with just a few lines of black and brown.  Made a few myself.  They now call in ASAT!

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.
