    camouflaging camouflage

    cheers Steve. The paint does give the material a rough texture that is not to everybody's liking but for pouches such as described in the op I think it should work well

    camouflaging camouflage

    https://youtu.be/mHNO-6P0WJA one paint colour may work well for you and will be cheaper than using several colours. But I would not use lots of paint to make it a solid colour but use the paint just to tone down the desert DPM effect. what colour is up to you but choosing a paint similar to...

    Springbar tent

    I don't have any experience but I do like the layout of the tents. I think canvas tents can be good if you look after them property. ie packed away dry and stored somewhere dry. if they get damp in storage they will rot. but a rip or tear can be easily repaired and are generally robust. I guess...
