How to make a camouflage net for hunting with your own hands - instructions

Ready-made camouflage nets for hunters are on sale, and in a large assortment. They differ in size, materials, specifics of use. For example, for a certain area where hunting is carried out, or an object that should be covered (a person, a vehicle, and so on).

The cost of a camouflage net is from 1,480 rubles (3 x 1.5). But the problem is that one does not fit in size, the other - in shade, the third - in texture density, and so on. Each hunter knows where he will fish, what kind of camouflage will be needed, therefore it is much more expedient to make a net with your own hands, in relation to specific conditions. How to make it? Let's deal with this.

For those who hunt seriously, and do not leave the city only occasionally, in company with friends, it is advisable to prepare two or three camouflage nets. As an example - for hunting on a lake, in a forest, in a steppe area. Their main difference is in the shade and degree of shading. And the do-it-yourself manufacturing principle is identical for all camouflage models.

What to focus on

Durability. Anything can happen on a hunt. Sometimes, quite unexpectedly, you can get caught in the rain, and the morning fog is the same dampness. Under such conditions, the filament net will not last long, even if it is dried with high quality. Therefore, for hunting camouflage, synthetic materials should be chosen.
Mesh density. On the one hand, it must reliably protect from sunlight (sometimes you have to stay in the sitting areas for hours), on the other hand, it must be well ventilated.
Hue. Camouflage should organically fit into the surrounding landscape. That is why for the camouflage net the main colors of the "earth and vegetation" are chosen - gray, brown, green in various variations. But uniformity is not the best solution. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on the so-called "eco-style", characterized by the fact that some natural shades prevail over others. Here, with the winter version of the camouflage net, it is understandable - white.
The possibility of a subject review. It is understood that in the grid (especially if it is overall) it is desirable to prepare several viewing windows. They are covered with the same camouflage "curtains", which at any time can be slightly lifted and inspect the area from different angles.

Recommendations for making a camouflage net

Consider the general algorithm of actions and a number of tips. And how exactly to do it is at the discretion of the hunter. Any work (technological operation) performed by one's own hands always implies an element of creativity, the introduction of something of one's own, individual. This is what you should not forget.

frame

With acceptable dimensions should be determined independently. Firstly, these are the dimensions and weight of the camouflage net, which for hunting . Secondly, why is it being done - to cover the transport or the arrow? In the latter case, how many? One or two or a small group? Only the hunter himself can answer these questions.

For mesh, the best option is polyamide fiber, better known as nylon. If you knit (or purchase) a ready-made net from a fishing line, then certain problems will arise with it in the future when hunting.

How to proceed (options)

No. 1 - buy a fishing net with suitable cells. Kapron is now difficult to find, but possible. For example, through an online store. Chinese ones are cheap - about 800 rubles for a canvas 90 x 3 m. For a Finnish network, of better quality, you will have to pay about 1,400 (30 x 1.8). But that's where to put the surplus, since no one will cut off the "piece". When several camouflage nets are being prepared at the same time, then a good option. Especially if you buy in a clubbing, for a "group of comrades."

No. 2 - tie the "frame" with your own hands. It is not difficult to master the technique, if there is a desire and free time. For one camouflage net, a pair of bobbins of nylon thread is enough. The average price is from 0.25 (0.8 mm) to 89 (2 mm) rubles per 1 linear meter.

Recommendations

A do-it-yourself nylon net should be hung out and scalded with boiling water. This will make all nodal connections strong and prevent them from unraveling.
Observation windows are equipped in advance. In places where they are cut, along the perimeter, all ends of the threads are melted.
Optimal mesh sizes (m): for 1 hunter - 3 x 2.5; vehicle - from 3 x 6.

External design of the camouflage net

For this point, it suffices to list only what can be used as "filling" cells.

Pieces of fabric.
threads.
Old yarn.
Tapes.
Plumbing tow.
Bast (linen).
Reed leaves.
Grass and so on.

Fixing such a disguise is done with adhesive tape or a thin thread. Some people simply weave strips (threads) into the cells.

Previously, all elements are painted in the colors corresponding to the specifics of the hunt. There is another option - to fix all the tinsel on the grid, and then process it in segments, with different coloring compositions, from an airbrush.

It turns out that making a camouflage net for hunting with your own hands is not so difficult. The advantage is that the master understands what kind of “model” he needs. Therefore, the result will be expected.

Good luck hunters!
