I got to hand it to them. It really does help break up its outline and at a distance would make it blend in with woods rather well.

The downside?

"Dammit, where the hell did I park?"

I want one!!! Did you notice the painted deer head between the taillights?

Wonder what the folks at the campground with the half-million dollar RV buses would think when you pulled in with this.

There goes the neighborhood.

Dittos, 99

Phil, I thought of you the other day when I stoped off at a local gas station down the street from my work thanks to your recent photos of "You might be a redneck" cars. I posted 2 photos of a truck parked out front that is an engineering marvel to say the least! Go to my profile and take a look at this awesome truck!

99 and WAM, probably after watching too much "Spirit of the Wild", my son and I took had our old '72 Ranger painted white, then over the next three months we taped it off and spray bombed black zebra stripes on it. It was quite the subject of conversation. I even had some guy and his son in a jeep follow me into a gas station for a better look since they wanted to do the same thing. Sadly my daughter totaled it a few years back, thankfully she walked away unscathed, and we replaced it with a black '84 F150. It needs some body work and once that's done, it too will get the zebra treatment. I don't see it as camo, I see it as the aforementioned fashion statement, anybody can drive a normal paint job, why be like everybody else. Too, if we bang it up, we can patch it and not worry about blending, paint quality, etc. I'm really looking forward to painting the old Ford and putting the Zebra on the road again.

Make that "had our old '72 Ranger painted white".

notic the deer on the back....

99explorer, your assessment of a camo vehicle is correct. I don't want one after I nearly couldn't find my old dark green Jeep down in the river bottom late one summer evening coming back from fishing. I was facing a long night battling swamp mosquitoes when I happened to stop and look back and saw it. If it'd been camo, it might still be there.

All that being said, that camper is right sporty looking and definitely stands out in it's own blended-in way.

Blackdawgz,

You are an inspiration to us all.

Yea but the high contrast camo isn't something new, remember ASAT CAmo, All Season All Terrian or Predator Camo. That stuff is excellent at breaking up the human form. The big name camo companies are just getting it with the bigger patterned stuff but in low light conditions in my opinion it is still too dark. I also like Cabela's Guide Camo which is pretty light with a big open pattern. Scent Shield's Vertigo is a similar concept to the ASAT but with all the carbon technology nonsense.

when you leave you truck, etc. if you're worried you can't find it again, get one of those fiberglass rods with the orange flag on it and fasten it to your front or back bumper. If you can't see the ornage flag you shouldn't be out in the woods alone, or leave the snake bite stuff at camp. lolo Should be able to get one anyplace they sell bikes.

We all know that after a hard day of hunting, sitting around the campfire, "tipping" a few, we have to go to the bushes.
I think, after so many campfire stories, how the hell do you find the door, if you're lucky enough to find your way back.

i remember back in the day my older brother had a few too many and spray painted his ranger gold. it was the worst thing to follow behind when the sun was out of the right direction. i am looking forward to next spring when i camoclad the lower side of my ranger.

As for camo (civillian) vehicles they are really not out to fool anyone. However, sitting still and not running they can visually hide from animals in the same way a person's outline can disappear, but the scent can't be covered so the vehicle is busted. They do offer a couple bonuses though. It is a relatively cheap do-it-yourself paintjob that if done right can last and look good, if flat paint isused no more waxing, and scratch repair is just a spray can away. I've seen good jobs and I've also seen the others, there are alot of others out there. The secret is all in the prep,and no, my truck isn't camo.
