Taking the popular Miltec Recon Tent in flecktarn and placing it in different woodland settings. Then adding a realtree 3d net to make it disappear. The 5:11 Rush 72 makes an appearance to.
I use the same tent and put a cam net over. I find the best thing to do is disrupt the shape ie use sticks to hold the net away from the tent so it isn’t tent shaped.
Good use of natural cover. So many of these 'stealth' videos have a serious lack of stealth, great to see one that actually is. Flecktarn is much underrated, particuarly in UK autumn.
As someone who has done this a lot, I’d recommend the Big Agnes tigerwall. It’s a yellow tent, with a gray fly. Even without the fly, the yellow blends with green foliage very well past about 30 meters. Yellow and green blend extremely well. It has to do with the human eye.
"Pretty effective" well that's a bit of an understatement. Watching the video even when you are up close that netting makes it look like a big rock . great stuff.
I admit I have yet to try it out (hopefully soon with the nice weather coming). Your right about sourcing it though. Debden seem to have stopped making it. Got mine of eBay.
Great job mate. I have camouflaged many of my things just using left over paints and other things including screening material, jute twine, etc. I show some of that on my channel and have even better stuff coming soon.
Thanks. Excellent tent. I hope you enjoy it. If you haven't seen my first video on Stealth Camping there's more info about it there. Although I got the music levels wrong.
A1 camo netting and if large enough, one could make a marquee quit simply vanish. The price is pretty good too and would suit me to form a bird hide. Not forgetting the stealth camping either. Cheers!
I got the tent. the poles weigh in at 2.6 pounds. easton aluminum poles weigh 70% less so you can shave off 2 pounds off the 6 pound weight of the tent. particularly if you dispenser with the 3rd fly pole and just guy out the tarp front and back.
Your audio levels are all over the place. Don't use the on camera microphone. Get a Zoom H1 and a Lav mic or something. They are affordable and they work well. Good video.
You left far to much shape, you should have used the branches to push out the cam netting to break it up, not just chuck it over the tent and stick some branches next to it.
Great vid buddy! I've just bought the exact same tent but not used it yet. I've done a short vid of it set up in my garden :) Where did you get the netting from? Could you post a link? :) I've got ex army netting but like you said...it's bloody bulky! Atb BB
Hi, thanks very much. Yes you can buy the team direct from: www.deben.com/camouflage/realtree-camouflage-screen.html although I notice they're out of stock at the moment. If you google Deben Camo Net you should be able to find alternative suppliers. Good luck and let me know how you get on. its a great little tent isn't it?
That's great thank you. I cant wait to get out in it. Ive got a gelert solo which ive been using for a few years but just find it too small. I wanted something I could get all my gear in and just have more room. Will keep you updated on the netting and my first outing! Thanks again, BB
hi mate . do u still use the recon one . I've got the woodland one . it's great too use an great in the wind an cold weather but not in snow yet . thanks . take care.
To the untrained eye it most certainly disappears and for the most part thats what matter, yet if a more experience person would see that they are most likely more alert to their surroundings.
how good are A framed type tents? i like them the best because there light and all i need really are my tracking polls to hold it up tho mine is dark green.
+WildGeese OD It figures. I don't know why they would do such a thing. This is the best camo netting I've ever seen! You can't beat the 3D leafy pattern. At 3:00 the tent looks like a boulder. I really like this video, I come back to it time and time again. Ted
Hi, I think it does. It's got a double skin. If you look it up on amazon you can also see what other people think of it. I'd treat both skins with water repellant spray as well for added protection. Look up one man recon tent.
@@univision1489 yes I called an American tent pole company. I wanted to replace the fiberglass poles. this company uses Easton Aluminum which is a competitor with the Dac aluminum poles used in the UK. Dac is used on snugpac tents. anyway theumy asked me to measure the length if the poles then set up the tent and note the distance from corner to corner. I have only replaced my two longer poles. the cross pole will be replaced next. the phone number of the company in working with is 360-260-9527 they charged me $30 for each of the two poles plus $10 shipping in the States. I got a vonnent from someone on these comments who got the replacements in UK and he didn't need a bend on the cross pole. in the US the aluminum is thicker. that's what I'm here in from my company. it will be stronger in wind I guess.
Define stealth camping please,are you setting up tent on land without permission or are you allowed to pitch a tent on the land you are showing us in this video? Are you armed when you do this,do you carry a big knife because speaking from experience armed trespass is "time served and plastic cutlery".Just curious
+Paul Kyle yep, you can see more of the set up in my other vids. The spot I picked here is above a track which deer use so it makes a nice vantage point to keep an eye out for them if quiet and don't draw attention. I don't shoot them, would rather enjoy watching them go about their business. In my first attempt at a stealth camping video (volumes all wrong) we also had permission to be in there with our bows, but those woods often saw trespassers so we wanted to keep a low profile simply so we didn't bump into anyone.
Understood and yes the tent was nicely..almost hidden.I have not seen your other vids,but I have a few hours spare,I'll have a browse and you might have a new subscriber.Thank you for a intelligent and a respectful reply,hope i get to speak to you soon.Best regards,Paul
Hi, I'm not sure if its been discontinued, but there are a few places that sell it. Here's one, although its more expensive, but larger: www.huntingsolutions.co.uk/deben-realtree-camo-net-netting-5005
"Carrying" a gun won't keep any animals away. Now if you're asking what firearms would be effective to defend against an attack from said animals, I would say that in bear country, I always carry a 12ga shotgun with hard-cast slugs in the truck. That said, you're better off with a big can of bear spray. That's always your (and my) first line of defense against large, grumpy critters.
There is no best camouflage, for example the woodlands in Washington are very different than the woodlands in northern Germany, the woodlands in England are very different than the woodlands in Australia what type of camouflage you use all depends on your local area.
