Renovated old climber (pic heavy)

[catman529]

This is an old Quick n Quiet originally belonging to Bowriter and passed down to me by SCN. I've used it a lot the past 2 seasons, and with some mid summer anticipation of deer season, decided to make it a little better. The paint will eventually chip from wear and tear, but that won't hurt the camo much anyway.

I have posted it in the DIY sub forum with a list of materials for those interested. I didn't spend much money on it

Here are the pics of the process:

As usual, great job Cat. I love your "get the most out of what I got" mentality, which is RARE these days. Keep up the good work.

Looks great, Jon.

Just remember our deal that it doesn't go on a tree unless a safety harness does as well.

I'm glad you have enjoyed it.

I haven't forgotten the deal and I'm always wearing the summit harness before I leave the ground. Thanks again for passing it on

you can probably do better paint job than me because I did minimal prep. Probably will chip off with the other paint that was starting to chip off. But it will still be camo either way... I used weeds growing in the yard and cut one paper stencil to make the camo pattern.

Looks very nice.

You used Yard & Garden stuff (don't call it weeds) as camo background, good thinking.
