Put some homemade camo together. Best of luck/safety to everyone this season.

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!

Very good video and great idea.  I really liked the heated scent dispenser video too.  Thanks posting.

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!
