A commercially produced camouflage pattern from the USA, used by their
hunters. While it looks quite effective in photographs I've seen, it
seems to depend on matching real trees, a much more photographic level
of detail than in military cammo patterns, and may not be so good at
breaking up shapes.

I've mostly seen it in connection with airgun hunting, where you have
to do a fair bit of stalking (but effective ranges aren't so different
to a shotgun) and it can be applied to the gun as well as clothing.

References to Les Barker and "I can't find my camouflage net" would
perhaps be a little insensitive in the circumstances.

This type of camo isn't designed for large objects.

dead neat, too. You can buy boots and stuff made with it.

Apart from anything else, a 90 done out in RTC is so distinctive that I
seriously doubt it's saleable as is, without getting recognised.

<snigger> Les Barker's dead good, in't 'e.

Here's a good pic of a D90 wrapped in the stuff.

Pretty distinctive. I'd think it'd be hard to hide.
