    DIY BLAZE

    Decided to make a couple of blaze orange accessories for the roar for added security. Materials: old safety vest, fabric glue, 20mm velcro and a pair of sharp scissors. Wanted light, effective, and inexpensive. Cut to size, and glued the seams to tidy up (left as much sewn existing seams as possible from original material), glued on the velcro, no sewing required! Should do the trick.

    Looks good and has given me an idea. I guess if shooting lots you would remove before the suppreser got hot.

    Keep a close eye on your dog pushing through scrub. Last thing u want is a suffocated dog from the fabric getting caught, dog panicking and tightening a noose around its neck.

    Sorry if that sounds like criticism, it's not.

    @TimC no that's great feedbaxk. He normally is 5-10m in front of me and I'll tuck it under his e-collar which never seems to
    tangle.

    try out the blaze bit on suppressor in different lighting bud....at times I find it will "blur" out the sight picture...similar to wearing bright top or hat yourself can do.
    Ive got two small bits of blaze polarfleece sewn onto top of my fleece beany,normally on inside but can put them out if worried,my fleece vest I got covered so double sided,simple DPM material except the makers changed out the tan for bright orange.
    my rain/pack covers are super bright blaze with metalic shiney strip.....
    favourite bit of blaze clothing is the jester type top from H&F its like 8 teeshirts cut up then panels sewn back together giving light green,blue and used to be orange panels..got my Mrs to change that one out for pink!!!! plus regular olive n camo panels

    Had a few days bombing through Kaimais. Both products worked a treat and held up really well under the bush lawyer treatment. Tempted to use the dog buff post roar as spotting a dark chocolate dog can be challenging in the tight.
