    On some days when the sun is getting up I have often paused looking through the bush and seen a lot of Orange foliage a colour a lot hunters seem to prefer.
    Just as there no straight lines in the bush apart from the sky there is no BLUE....

    Interested in any comments, any stirring or scathing criticisms...
    I have come to the same conclusion. I have worn a south african '83 pattern webbing in the bush a few times now, and really like it to carry gear in.
    But seeing it's a chocolate brown, I figure that sooner or later it will cause a problem, so I'm looking for a blue or grey paint to fix it.

    If anyone here has painted webbing, I'd be interested to see how it turned out, and what you used.
