![]() ![]() And, as Napoleon said, ".Ask me for anything but time." When I'm stealthing, it's usually due to a very long day and an unwillingness to try and make it to the nearest designated camp spot. I carry a bit (~20 to 30 ft.) of mason's line around as a general-purpose thing anyway, so it's not an added burden-except for time. They seem to work well, from all accounts (never owned one myself, so I can't speak from personal experience).Ī piece of spare line can be hung along those edges, and forest duff added via knots or other methods. ![]() However, with a tarp that's ten or twelve feet long, well.Īctually, the Speer tarps () are made with horizontal seams. They're great for a human body-sized object wearing separate garments: the repetition isn't obvious at any angle you're likely to see the object. This is the main problem with most (I'd say "all", but I can't say that for certain: I've not seen all of them) camo patterns. Tent manufacturers seem to go the complete opposite way with bright oranges and yellows.go figure. I am really interested to see what the guys at HG come produce with the camo cuben. I have never seen the popular hunting camo's in large patterns, but they may be the best ones for the woods. A jagged edge or perhaps use of the "ghillie" type leaves around the edge might soften that some. I also agree with the earlier poster about the straight lines. The only way to align the pattern correctly would result in a seam down the center of each panel instead of the ridge, which is just odd and would probably result in stretching of the seam. It seems like the pattern is printed to run the opposite way, so "to me" it looks like it is sideways on a tarp. ![]() I like multi-cam also, but in large pieces the repetition of the pattern is very obvious, to me. The grey green of my Superfly blends in better in a wider range of conditions, than the busy camo of the Claytor Diamond Fly, of course in summer woodlands the Claytor blends better. I've thought a woodland camo/white reversible migt make sense if it didn't add too much weight to the tarp. Digital ACU works well in a snowy pine forest but other than that it sticks out like a soar thumb. One thing that I need to see is a Multicam tarp strung up though because if the repeat is too small you start to get patterns that will draw the eye and that defeats the purpose of camo in the first place. ![]() Around here you need a pattern that works in summer (think jungle) and winter (think white) and Multicam does that. ![]()
