Camouflage Obsession... from the diary of the Mad Prospector.

Week 1
Bought a Camo-coloured shirt from Aussie Disposals as a joke: to shock my lefty-greeny Girlfriend. It has a name tag that says “Ivan”. It’s Hilarious!

Week 2
Today noticed a cheap pair of Camouflage pants in Target. 2 for the price of 1! I now own three pieces of Camo wear. Is the joke getting out of hand?

Week 3
Went detecting, and changed into Camo while in the forest. Too embarrassed to wear it in public. Also, my car is too white and stands out in the bush. Ordered Camo-coloured car cover from USA. It’s not clothing, so that’s OK. Can’t tell girlfriend though.

Week 4
Bought 2 pairs of socks: one green pair and one brown. Decided to wear different colours on different feet. It feels so RIGHT. What’s wrong with me?

Went detecting in full camo. The train conductor did not check my ticket or establish eye contact. Tried playing “Staring” games with other passengers, but they don’t seem to notice me or look my way. Perhaps camo is making me too hard to see? Had all 4 seats to myself for the first time in years.

Week5
Gilfriend left to stay with her mother for a while.

Week 6
Winter is coming. Bought a camo-coloured ski mask, and a pair of camo gloves.. What a lucky find! Spent lunch on ebay, ordering camo-masking-tape. Will tape up the detector & my boots, and pick handle. ITS ALL COMING TOGETHER NOW....

Good well as a miner of years and construction> could you please get me some to because all these woman in power now are really starting to piss me.

They forget real quick who put them there and relationships are stuffed.
I don't know were these Bitches are going to get the knowledge and the new work force from because I for 1 won't the Hell be Doing It AGAIN.


And aaaah Boyzzz becarfull of the miney girls they like Money more than they like you. CHEERS.

Rtanweb... I nearly had my coffee coming out of my nose whilst reading your post. I like it

Rtanweb mate thats good. ...

Week 7. Just found some cammo jocks- the packet said they only need washing when the green stripes turn brown.

Good to see I'm not the only one with a Camo Obsession. Thanks for a great laugh. By the way, get yourself some camo face paint. That really freaks them out.

Scary! I think I will start arming myself whenever I'm out prospecting from now on. Question is do I use a concealed weapon or the usual western-style rifle-over-the-shoulder routine? Watcha think?

Thanks guys.

2 Panhead - face paint! i can't belive i forgot about that!

2 Fishberley - full points for the camo undies joke! When are you changing your name to "Goldberley"? You promissed on ebay...

I think it's already taken. Nearly fell out of my kayak on the weekend, so I probably should stick with fishberley. Note to self- 6 hours paddling around chasing rising trout tends to leave you with numb bum and legs, be careful trying to get out of it.

now dont forget you are not alone out there !!

Well I didn't see that comming.

I like the camo gear myself but the best way to be unobserved in the bush if you see a vehicle or person is to freeze. Meaning, don't move. If you move, they will spot you. Black is another good colour I have found.
Camo pants have the best pockets.

Kevin rudd should wear cammo and throw him in the bush and play one big came of where's Wally.....

Also, if it's at night, it's a good idea to keep your eyes shut. Or at least be facing away from the vehicle until it has passed by. There's nothing like a pair of shiny little eyes to attract attention.

Thought I would join in with this camou idea. Went to the disposals to buy some things. Unfortunately the stuff is so good I wasn't able to find it.

The camo car cover sounds good. Where do you get one ?
Not too sure about the camo jocks - you might have trouble finding "you know what" when nature calls
