TimberGhost Camo 
by Art Champoux

Have you ever seen something move quickly between the trees at dusk but couldn't make out what it was? Have you ever scanned an area, intensely, then when you were absolutely sure nothing living was in your field of vision, took a step only to have some animal literally explode out of sight? The reason is nature's own camouflage. The colors, the blend, the designs of nature are so subtle that the wearer can escape detection from only a few feet away. This is what TIMBERGHOST camouflage is based on. Kevin Carlile, designer of TIMBERGHOST took his cues from nature, especially the subtle shades of color, light and dark.

TIMBERGHOST Camouflage has that same effect. It does not break up like other camouflage patterns, nor does it blotch up into a solid shape when viewed from a distance.

It is a tree!!!!!!! Similar to the Founder of the Camo revolution Jim Crumleys' TreBark the all time leader and futurist of the camo revolution. TIMBERGHOST actually becomes the tree. With your back against a tree or sitting between two trees or even in a blind or tree stand one does not have to worry about what is in the back ground! You are the image, you are the tree. 

TIMBERGHOST  is quality made throughout. It is made from a soft twill fabric that undergoes a series of manufacturing processes to make it soft and super quiet. An added feature is that it is water resistant. I got caught walking in the rain with it on and thought I was going to get soaked but inside the coat was completely dry. 

Unlike other camos,  TIMBERGHOST is adaptable to many terrains. Where there are trees, heavy brush and or  logs TIMBERGHOST  fits in well. If your favorite spot has been cut down and all that's left are stumps, TIMBERGHOST will still help you stay concealed    You now become the taller stump.  It will work in blow downs, along field edges and ideally in your treestand.
Since most trees don't have leaves on the lower part of the tree TIMBERGHOST Bibs or pants make the trunk while you supply the top half of the tree with one of the leaf patterns. Other camo companies have been saying for years to take two (of their products) different camos to  give the total effect.  If you have one of their products now pick up the TIMBERGHOST pants, bibs, mittens, hat or Turkey vest. 

Another great feature with TIMBERGHOST is they have impregnated  the cuffs and sleeves of the clothing with Tick Guard to prevent those nasty bugs from ruining your day. This comes standard in all TIMBERGHOST hunting clothes. 

Another nice feature is the handy binocular pocket on the upper chest. A small compartment to put in a pair of your favorite mini binoculars has been installed. The zipper for this pocket runs vertically and does not interfere with the string or the shot. With one hand you can reach for the binocs, scan and put back in your pocke,t zip up and it is out of sight and out mind.  This shows that attention to detail means a lot. 

TIMBERGHOST makes hats, pants, bibs, coats, gloves, masks, t-shirts bow slings even a turkey vest. Do not forget their casual wear demin shirts, ,sweat shirts, snappy jacket and matching cap.

What I found was this is a quality item that works well in 99% of all hunting situations. 

Field shooting for ducks or geese might be a problem however I do not believe TIMBERGHOST was ever intended to do that. The big thing  is to break up your image. Maybe it is somewhat justified but I even read somewhere that deer get spooked when walking in and around trees. But most deer I have ever seen were making scrapes or rubs under or on trees. I have never seen a deer hide in the middle of a field or in a used car parking lot. Every TIMBERGHOST product is well thought out and quality built in to it.  My only wish is that they add items to their line such as tape, cloth and camo blinds for different situations.
