Scrim net: advice needed (1 Viewer)

Hello everybody,
since I'm planning to do some birding/hiking in my surrounding area and I'd like to travel quite light (not using my dome-hide), I'm looking for a lightweight scrim net suitable to quickly cover me and my tripod/lens for low angle shots.
What kind of net/camouflage material do you suggest using? What size/length will be most fit?
Thank you for your advice
Max

Hi there Max,
What you need is the type of net used by wildfowlers & pigeon shooters here in the Uk. You can get the traditional scrim type nets or the trendy realtree advantage type. Both are very good, but the realtree type is probably lighter.
If you buy a scrim net, go for the light coloured versions that blend in alot better than the ex-military "tank nets", which are very heavy & far too dark for most conditions. Do a Google for pigeon shooting hides & see what comes up.
Regards Rob. B :)
