The Mossy Oak Burlap Camouflage is a large woodland camo mesh for building blinds, covering the hunter, or hiding equipment. It's targeted toward hunters and outdoor sportsmen. For this article, we are going to use it for outdoor airsoft operation in the woods.

The difference between the Mossy Oak burlap Camouflage and a potato sack is that the mesh is widely spaced (see photo below). Thus, it is useful as a temporary cover, rather than carry heavily weighted objects.
The unpainted side gave us the idea of using this Mossy Oak Burlap Camouflage as desert tan camo as well. It would be an inex
