Camouflage Netting:
Camouflage is the method which allows an otherwise visible organism or object to remain indiscernible from the surrounding environment. Examples include a tiger's stripes and the battledress of a modern soldier. Camouflage is a form of deception. In nature, there is a strong evolutionary pressure for animals to blend into their environment or conceal their shape; for prey animals to avoid predators and for predators to be able to sneak up on prey. Some animals use mimicry, seeming to be something else, such as a leaf, a stone, a twig, or a similar but more dangerous/poisonous animal. Some mimics also simulate the natural movement, i.e. of a leaf in the wind, this is called procryptic behaviour or habit. Other animals attach or attract natural materials to their body for concealment.
The term camouflage comes from the French word camoufler meaning 'to blind or veil.' Camouflage, also called protective concealment, means to disguise an object, in plain sight, in order to conceal it from something or someone.
In the late 1800s, an American artist named Abbott Thayer made an important observation about animals in nature that became a useful tool in developing modern camouflage. After studying wildlife, Thayer noticed that the colouring of many animals graduated from dark, on their backs,
to almost white on their bellies. This is an important property that is very useful in modern camouflage. This gradation from dark to light breaks up the surface of an object and makes it harder to see the object as one thing. The object loses its three-dimensional qualities and appears flat. This tendency to break up and flatten the surface of an object also appears in the artistic movement, Cubism, which was occurring during this same time period.
From the early days of history to the present, camouflage has been recognized as a means of concealment. Armies, engineers and artists have all had a hand in devising the tools we use to hide, disguise and distract; tools like camouflage netting. By properly placing a camouflage
net you can hide from an enemy, observe a shy animal or disguise unattractive equipment. Regardless of your reason for camouflage netting, you can find what you need at Surplus and Adventure online Army and Navy surplus superstore.
How Camouflage Netting Is Used
Today, radar detection can make camouflage netting ineffective on the battlefield. However, camouflage netting has found uses in a number of other areas, particularly bird watching and hunting. Camouflage netting employs the eight basic factors of recognition to hide objects: position, shine, shadow, colour, texture, height, tone and location. By skilfully placing camouflage netting on and around an object or over an area it is possible to
deceive the eye. The eight factors when considered as a whole serve to break up the normal composition of an object, adding shadow, reducing light, breaking normal angles and muting shine to fool perception. Camouflage
netting incorporates textures and tones similar to the surrounding habitat that help cover anything that might seem out of place.
For constructing something like a bird watching blind, camouflage netting is a valuable tool in making both blind and occupant blend into their surroundings. While camouflage netting provides a degree of concealment, it
must often be used in conjunction with other devices to be effective. Face paint, camouflage clothing such as a gillie suit and natural sticks/foliage work along with a net to provide camouflage.
