Re: Flock Sheets - Super Neat, Super Impractical
Huh... this material is actually pretty cheap for what it is. Probably not as durable as ripstop, but definitely has great applications. Better yet, you could even just buy the Musou Black paint and add tigerstripes or other patterns to your clothing. Would definitely break up your form.

Re: Mixed Martial Arts as a Blueprint for Stealth
My schedule is all over the place - usually I don't know when I'm working until the very afternoon I'm called in. I'd also need to find the right shooting locations to record stealth videos in peace. What sort of content you after? Specifically silent movement, camouflage, stealth concepts, etc.

Jokes aside, have you tried making anything successful? If it's as cheap & easy as you say, this would be great for thrown weapons like knives & shuriken. Or perhaps even climbing aids which may or may not be left behind at an AO.

Empty cans propped upon slightly ajar doors or attached onto strings are popular alarm tripwires, although I've never had the opportunity or need to use them on an op before. Usually I'm wary enough of my surroundings to detect whether someone else is in the AO.
