fergie Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Ok I'm looking for a Cammo net. I have a lot of the army cammo net but I'm not too keen on carrying a lot of this around. So im looking at getting something else. but what do you lot recommend, stealth ghost ?? i found this one what do you think. ********** Edited January 31, 2011 by Cranfield Can't post eBay links.

Dorsey Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I quite like the Realtree patterns - but have always found it depends what kinda foliage etc you have on your farms - it wouldn't work for me. I still use the old fashioned military stylee camo nets with bits of whatever is local wound in to it to make it blend in better... but i'm guessing you want something lightweight?

I am after something lightweight but I guess I could cut a length off the military netting I have is 4m x 1.5m ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampire Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 3mx1.5m is the standard size,so yours will be plenty,which is the best bit about the stealth net as well as its 4m long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 The really lightweight ones are useless in anything above a slight breeze. There are few things worse than either having to lash and clip your netting down, or having the whole hide disintegrate around your ears. Ex MoD netting may be heavy, but it stays where you want it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripey999 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I agree totally with big simmo999. I have a couple of MoD nets which are too heavy now that I am getting older. I bought one of those leaf cut jobbies in the link that the Op mentioned but it blows too much in the wind. I have 2 stealth nets which are the dogs nuts and are light and pack down allowing me to create all permutation of hides including with roofs when needed. To be honest, the MoD ones are the best but too heavy, so the stealth comes a close second but is the one I prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairofthedog Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) 15foot x 5foot Stealth net, the leaf cut with the black nylon mesh backing - Brilliant, BUT - in some situations, particularly in sunlight it might as well be one of those very thin ones because the pigeons will see every move you make. HOWEVER - take a smaller length 10foot x 4foot of lightweight desert storm netting as well and then you are ready for anything. ps: the both won't be anything like as bulky as old heavyweight army netting AND a stealth net is far more durable. Try the test - throw an army net onto a blackthorn hedge and rive it off, bits of the net will tear off and stay on the hedge, throw your steath net on thorn hedge and rive it off, bits of the hedge will come with it !!!!!!

Moors Man Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Its is interesting all the different views. I have the stealth netting and it is very light to carry, but I find a single sheet is very easy for pigeons to see through. If you use 2 sheets you are well hidden but it is hard to see through so it is easy to find your head popping up and down. I would also agree with the point it does flap about in the wind. Sorry only to confirm other people's thoughts here but it is interesting as I have been having similar thoughts and problems as I am sure at times I am visable to the pigeons.

Redditch Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Use the Jack Pike one behind the stealth ghost, and that would cover you for most situations I would think, and light too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenBhoy Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) i have stealth and no complaints at all. very lightweight, easy to set up, and does the job. just have to make sure of a fairly solid hedge behind you and which is higher than top of net.

I use a Stealth Net with a second leaf cut net behind it, full height on the sides and around two-thirds height at the front so I can see out.

Cosd Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Stealth net 4m x 1.5m, hung on poles up to mouth height whilst seated, then clearview hung inside but another 12" higher than the stealth net stretched tight to give you a window to look through on three sides. Two excellent nets and very lightweight and compact to carry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy.plinker Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I bought the realtree see through net by hunters specialities,it's basically net curtains with a pattern on it and very see through,also it has nothing to tie it up with.Its ok if you keep still and wear the right stuff.I was in my local garden center today and they have wind break netting a £1 a meter and its green and black if it was doubled up it would be perfect.

Redditch Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) I used to use ex. MOD netting when I was younger, now I´ve got one of those clear view, and two Ghost Stealth nets. The ghost stealth can be added together to form a bigger hide (Overlapping nets), and then the clear view placed on the inside directly around my seat place. Allows me room to store stuff out of the way, and gives good cover too That´s the price of having four different types of arthritis Edited June 27, 2011 by Redditch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blade Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 What about scaffold netting 2m x 50m in green would make 3 or 4 good size hides.
