Camouflage nets for hunting, military and other events where you need a disguise. Apply in several areas: it is the concealment of military equipment and facilities, installations, means of camouflage for humans.
The network mimics the flora of a particular area, which will need hiding.
Externally, it is a mesh base with patterned patches of different materials (fabric, tape, etc.).
Properties and types of networks to disguise
Camouflage nets are used extensively in many fields due to its properties:
- quiet;
- repel moisture;
- do not fade under the action of sunlight;
- do not burn;
- characteristics remain the same under all temperature conditions;
- do not create glare;
- the camouflage on the ground.
For some types of hunting, they are irreplaceable, so they are often used.
Products can be subdivided into three groups.
- “The wave”. Fabric has a characteristic wavy shape, the cell size is 4 sq. cm
- “The strip”. Through the basis stretch strips of fabric. Often made at home.
- “Frill”. On a solid canvas cuts are applied horizontally, which creates a increased strength of the products.
Structure and color scheme
Building a network is very simple. It consists of only two components, fabric and the basics. The base is composed of nylon rope with a certain diameter (2-5 mm). As the structure of cells and their sizes may vary. Both the first and the second parameter depends on the purpose of camouflage nets. The smaller structure is more valued. The fabric top is attached with glue, brackets, or sewn.
The color solution may be varied depending on the purpose of masking, the area in which it will be conducted and time of year. Among the most common models we can mention a color called “Forest”. It uses a gamma of autumn landscape, with a predominance of brown and reddish colors. Network “NATO” was created in the traditional forest green hues.
In addition to color, of great importance for the quality of disguise played by the structure of the drawing. Three-dimensional, attached via network, it allows the object to stand out from the environment.
Disguise while hunting
Most often, camouflage needed for hunting birds. In the first place in this case leaves the specifics of the process. A great many types of hunting ducks, geese or other bird have one thing in common: all of them the key factor is the disguise.
Useful:
The quality of the camouflage is very important since birds have good eyesight. One network is often not enough and hunter and still want a good suit. The network itself is often covered with grass and other vegetation of the area. This is to ensure that the bird did not appear the slightest suspicion of strangeness of what she sees.
For a common method of hunting ducks as waiting, it is necessary to keep the bird at a distance of 25-30 meters. Make it very difficult, as you need to not only close similarities with the terrain, but the lack of noise and sounds from the network. Sometimes you have to wait long and another necessary condition for the use of masking materials is their impermeability.
In modern hunting stores there are many options for arrangement of shelter, but because of the considerable cost products, as well as a desire to create a unique pattern having a high similarity with the terrain many hunters use homemade camouflage.
Independent production
At the beginning of the process of independent manufacture of camouflage need to determine the type of vegetation, which he will imitate. The most commonly used are: structure of coniferous, deciduous vegetation, shrubs and grass, as well as a unique pattern. In the manufacturing process you can use strands of floss, hemp or pieces of camouflage fabric.
To achieve the maximum naturalness of camouflage nets it is recommended to use live plants with the area where will be hunting, in combination with artificial materials.
The network creates a durable, non-deformable base, which must be attached by any of the methods of masking the coating in the form of cooked material (pieces of ribbon, scraps, threads).
As a fastening do not use tape, as it can create glare in the sun, and create unwanted sounds. Consider a specific “recipes” for the manufacture of camouflage nets at home.
Network “Goblin”
To create this camouflage nets will need the following items and components: nylon string, rags, urine, tissue strips, brushes, paint with yellow, brown and green shades. A network of nylon yarn can weave themselves or buy in the store. She will serve as the basis. The size of the piece you need to choose individually, depending on the object masking. For a car usually take a sheet of 3 by 6 meters, for humans is 2.5 to 3 meters.
The tips prizhivayutsya to network spread. For the face, cut a hole. The “visor” is a veil of the same material, which can be folded if necessary. The next step is the preparation of the masking strips. Ideal material for them – it’s synthetic (kapron, nylon, artificial silk).
Choice due to the technical characteristics of these materials that do not absorb moisture, odors and light in weight.
The canvas is cut into individual pieces. The strips should be width from 0.5 to 1.5, and the length from 1.5 to 5 inches. In order that the pieces were more securely attached, the network is expanded in the free space. To strengthen the cells better on the diagonal, so will be greater the strength of the product. Weave can be finished in the moment when the objects that are on the network cease to be different from the distance of 8-10 meters. Ready network you can apply a coating of spray or with a brush.
Network Mix
For this network, you’ll need paint, brushes, nylon, oakum, moss and patches of grass. Similar to the first example, taken network. Any except the fishing line. Is only created to shelter human piece of 3.5-4 meters with enough. Strip to do there is no need, therefore, to weave you can just natural elements. Symmetry be observed is, on the contrary, it is better to do in the most chaotic pattern.
Materials should be evenly distributed, a mistake to group them. This defeats the naturalness of appearance. Network density is not as large as in the first embodiment, the visibility through it is better. In this case, masking properties are not lost due to the use of other materials, differing in texture and texture. Flax, grass and urine replace tape. They are woven separately. Last woven twigs. When painting the final pieces you need to use paints with deep absorption.
The network is ready to use immediately after it dries paint and weathered all the smells. The cost of such camouflage nets in several times cheaper than store-bought, but its creation can take a lot of time.
