Homemade Winter Camo....

Couldn't find any winter camo locally that fit so I decided to make my own for the time being.


Tyvex suit + Krylon Camo + Xmas tree branches =

very cool... I just ordered a set of the CF white oversuit pants and hoodie in nylon I used to wear in the forces from military surplus... 50 bucks... it's pur white as is.. may look at doing this type of camo job

Wondering now if I left enough white showing......maybe should have just stayed with a few branches and the High Heat paint (used for HH Paint for grey areas).

Has to be better than my AP camo anyhow.

 

[Superbrad]

nope.... looks good... stay along the ground and dont be up ona ridge and you should blend in anywhere with that.. good stuff

Don't forget the gloves

Don't forget the gloves

Damn.....forgot about gloves.

Guess my AP gloves will have suffice at this point and my AP head cover.

Isn't the Tyvex suit noisy when its cold?

I'd say you're not busy enough!
J/K I think it looks great.

The coolest snow camoflage is the Rebel troopers on the snow planet of Hoth. It sort of resembles Austrian border guard camo'.

Look Cool Factor (LCF) aside, all camoflage works the further away the observer. As long as it works to confuse the animals and improve the hunters' chances, there are no rules. Tyvek and spray paint works just as effectively as the most exclusive Mossy Woody Advantage whatever camoflage fabric.

The camo looks good. I read a good article in Predator Xtreme magazine a few years back on coyote vision. I'll try to find something online and post it.

It's not fleece but if your still it shouldn't be too bad.


Thanks KDX......will check them out.

Looks good but I'm thinking they are going to by quite noisy.

When I went out calling for the second ever time last year, when I got to my spot I put on a tyvek suit(pure white no pattern painted on it) and I do not remember it making any noise, though it was in early March and not cold, I believe and was around +2 out.

Now keep in mind there are different kinds of tyvek suits, the ones you would want would be the same as automotive painters use, not any of the hazmat suits which are spun differently and are thicker and much noisier.

 

[asphalt599]

Ok I think I know what you have now. The one I was thinking about was the thicker really stiff one. Should work well then.

What's nice about the automotive painters ones is that they also have a hood.

Here is what I use.... Army surplus heavy Nylon and waterproof... $39.99....have been thinking about painting them up... I wonder what type of paint would stick to the material?
