    Thank you for the tips and information. I will start Googling to see what is available here in the states.

    I noticed the camo supplier whom Grant recommended has a blaze orange camo---I keep picturing this in a kilt.


    Great looking work, Courtmount! Don't neglect the possibility of complementary colors in the hose, too.
