![]() ![]() So today, I can tell you that I now only own 3 camouflage items a pair of gloves, a beanie, and a neck gaiter, and I only have them because I probably can’t sell them anyhow. Be as bush-like as you want, all big game animals have to do is smell you or catch you itching your nose and the gig is up. What boy doesn’t? The thing is though, I’ve done far more research than I care to admit on if camouflage is effective and I’ve come to learn that while it certainly doesn’t hurt, the reality is that no pattern of any kind - regardless of how new and fancy it is - can never cover up poor hunting technique. I needed a sort of nicotine patch to help me through it because since I was a little boy, I’ve always loved camo anything. So, I decided to begin quitting camouflage altogether. It made me sick just thinking about it and yet, I continued to be attracted to the camouflage marketing Jedi mind trick these brands are pumping out year after year. The Sitka Open Country never got the love it deserved so yet again, there it sat for up to 365 days a year, $500 or more in top of the line technical clothing. I had only purchase pants, a shirt, hoody, and a light jacket before jumping off that train. I was on my way to doing the same thing with Sitka gear until Kuiu came along and stole my heart with their lower prices and new patterns. When I’d see all my camouflage clothing just sitting there it made me a little embarrassed I convinced myself it was okay to spend over $100 on a pair of pants I wore 5% of the year, and pair of pants was just the beginning! I had an entire Verde uniform from Kuiu all the way from pants and shirts to warming layers and finally rainwear. ![]()
