Field Testing RIT Dyed UCP! (Short Version)
Howdy Folks! I was able to take the RIT Dyed UCP Surplus to the woods for some field testing. I will be posting two versions, a short version and a longer, more detailed version. See for yourself just how effective the RIT Olive Drab and Coyote Brown formulas work in the Spring forest in my neck of the woods.
Here are the formulas I produced for 3lbs. of fabric (6 gallon dye bath)

1 Bottle Camel (All Purpose Dye)
1 Bottle Kelly Green (All Purpose Dye)

2 Cups Distilled White Vinegar
