Locals taking aim at camouflage suits

IN THE MILITARY trade
they’re called Ghillie suits.

And a new, local company
hopes to do a good business in
manufacturing camouflaged clo-
thing. which shields hunters and
others from their targets while out
in the bush.

Ghillie suits originated in the

Asian countries, says Earl
Stewart of Pacific Northwest Ad-
ventures and Outfitters,

They're put on just like a pon-
cho but have draped from them
burlap and other material.

The aim is to blur the outline of
a person’s body so that he or she

blends in with the surrounding

vegelation.

Those who use the swits can
also customize them by attaching
leaves and branches to better suit
the surroundings, says Stewart.

‘What we're doing is taking
regular combat fatigues and
sewing the suit right onto it,’’
said Stewart,

The suits are constructed
without material on the front, so
that it’s easier to crawl through
underbrush and for quick access
to front pockets.

Complementing the suits are
hats from which similar material
hangs to blur head and facial fea-
tures. .

Stewart said he and -company
partner Sandor Komlos have been
working on the idea for about
three years.

In addition to hunters, they say
the suits and hats will also appeal
to those engaged in - paint ball
games in the woods,

‘Y’ve been out in the bush since
I was a baby and I've always
looked for what clothing can do
for me,”’ said Stewart.

An American company sells a
version of a Ghillie suit but
synthetic material is used and-that
can be-too shiny in the woods,

a

IN THE WOODS he'd be nearly Invisible. And that’s the aim of Eart Stewart of Pacific Northwest

Adventures and Outfitters. It's new company setting up shop to make and sell a different kind of

camouflage clothing line.

Stewart added.

The two are preparing a
presentation for the RCMP's lo-
cal Emergency Response Team.

In addition to the Ghillie suits,
Pacific Northwest Adventures
and Ouifitters is also working on
gear from which can be attached
knives, flashlights and other
stems,

This gear is similar to that used
to carry packsacks and is a com-
bination of the type used by the
Canadian armed forces and the
American military.

“(Qur gear can also be used by
mushroom pickers. and tree
planters,” said Stewart,

The North by Northwest
Tourism Association’s Marilynn
Quilley has just retumed from a

tourism trade show in Victoria ©

where she reported great interest
in this region,

“Although there is interest in
touring and attractions, the main
focus of all our meetings was soft
adventure,”’ said Quilley.

‘‘Wholesalers are looking for
new venues for their clients who
request canoe, kayak, hiking and
horseback adventures,’’ she said.
