Post best boat blind camo
Looking to replace a couple of vintage Bushy Ridge green/brown camo panels. I do not need net backing, I don't weave anything in them, they are stand-alone, I use local foliage in separate holders. It is mostly tan/light brown in the marshes here, most stuff being sold out there appears too dark or green, and dang everything is pretty expensive! Any reviews of the Camo Systems material? Thank you!

You may want to look into making your own mats. It's really not hard to do. There are a few videos on youtube on different methods on how to. You can cut grasses from your hunting area so it blends in naturally.

Thanks for the suggestion. I routinely carry 10-12 cabbage palm fronds and these cover and break up the outline of the boat real good; I find it pretty simple to stick them upright through some clamps in the gunwale and that's it. The camo panels are to cover any gaps and to drape over the bow and stern areas.

Take a look at Shaggy panels from Rancho Safari- a ghillie suit for the boat. Expensive, but makes stuff disappear.

Thanks, one 18' long panel is $178, kind of steep, would need two. I think I might go with the camo systems flyway pattern.

I got the Camo Sstems Dead Duck pattern with military mesh backing . The pictures online made it look red, but's it'r brown with some tans and a touch of green. Perfect backing material and colorl to add rafia to.

10-4, I don't need the net backing, but good to hear the Camosystems material is good.
