I put this question up in the general forum back in June before I knew about this Western Hunting forum

please hit the link and add your opinion.

I tried the fabric paint on another item ..not really an option that sucked big time

buying another Back pack is also a not an option

If the problem was the fabric paint running or not adhering,(had that problem on some material, you might try a leather dye, or maybe even a wood die, or a fabric dye. Get 5 gallon paint bucket dissolve the fabric dye in it and dip the pack in. It might bring the blaze down to a brown color, then take a wide black sharpie pin and add some ASAT camo pattern to it.
Good Luck in Colo.

Military desert camo pack cover at a surplus store would cover the pack and is relatively inexpensive.

it ran real bad.... not sure I want to permanently change the color of the pack in case I need to have it orange again. I have some digi woodland fabric I can sew or use fabric glue to camo it .I got a lot on my plate & I'm just running out of time & if it dont need it I'm not going to worry about it.

Moonshiner, I was just in Academy Sports and seen this. It might just be your answer. Black water resistant cover.

I wouldn't worry about the color. Half my rifle hunts while wearing blaze orange I have shot elk within bow range.

They have like 20 different colors.Low odor.Is quite permanent when dry.
As stated before,Orange color is ok....but you do need to break up the huge solid pattern factor.....'cuz even though they can't see a specific color as we do,they do see intensity and a big solid blaze orange pack is "intense"! Even a few spots or stripes of brown and green on the orange will help break it up.



I have this same parka. I wear it to cold November and December BSU home games!

I blend right in!

I think I have decided on gluing strips of camo cloth that I have in key places to break up the pattern.. that way if I ever want or need the BP to go back to Blaze Orange it can be done easily enough

thanks for all your input & suggestions
