Can You guess what I'm thinking?

That someone needs to sweep the floor

Autumn is here , plenty of foraging to be had....

Given the title of the image is flectarn, presumably you're intending to get the image printed onto canvas, waterproof it and use it as a camouflaged tarp?

Either that or you're showing us the burial site of your next victim.

Spot on dewi - easy bit of detective work for you too - well done,

For those of you who like to use Flecktarn the time that it is most effective is fast approaching - so get out there and use it!

Time to switch over to the heavier sleeping bag

If you're getting it printed to the canvas, you need to enquire which ink they are using... there are certain so-called eco inks that are not very durable. Also, you may get a better effect for what you're after by asking them to lower the resolution of the print... it will pixelate the image, perhaps even blur it... but it will be more effective camouflage at a distance than a defined high resolution print would be (bearing in mind that camouflage is less effective the closer you get to it usually)

Should you wish to avoid canvas altogether and go for a waterproof material... you could always have the print done onto banner material. Depending on the grade, it is tough and durable... and with a quality supplier, you will get reinforced eyelets ready to use.

A few years back banners were printed with solvent inks (bit stinky, but effective) although the main manufacturer for the solvent printers went out of business in a spectacular fashion. It might be that you're looking at eco-solvents or maybe even thermal printing now... but you can use a product called Frog Juice that will increase the durability of the print and give it some protection against UV light and the weather.

Thanks for all that dewi, I will keep it mind.

Bish - I'm finding it still just warm enough in a Carinthia bivvy with only my spare mid layers on - Thinsulate jacket, fibre pile trousers and a pair of tent boots.

I am however making sure that I have plenty of fern beneath the bivvy.
