CAMOUFLAGE "The Art of Invisibility" What is the best camo pattern? Hatchet Cast Episode 5

[@povfwm12]

I love the long form videos. When people say “we could talk about this for hours” and then they don’t, it’s super disappointing. Love your content!

[@barrelandhatchet]

Thanks so much! We hope you were able to get something out of it, and also enjoy the content! If you know anyone who could benefit from the channel, it would super help if you could share an episode with someone who would enjoy the episodes!

[@JDB2030]

I came here to say the same thing. Love the layout. Don't change a thing

[@barrelandhatchet]

[@THPOOKY]

I completely agree. Also, obligatory support comment.

Something a lot of people forget is that ungulates (deer & elk family of animals) are brown for a reason. They aren't black. They aren't green. And they disappear in the mountains and the woods. Take your eyes off them for a second and they are gone. Brown, khaki and other lighter colors are an excellent base that you can darken later, as is mentioned in this video so long as they are light colors that match your environment (again mentioned in this video). These videos are phenomenal by the way. Some of the best content in the community. Outstanding job guys.

[@barrelandhatchet]

Thanks so much for the support and you make a lot of valid points!! Hopefully others will see this comment!!

[@mikespectre4153]

Dude I could watch this footage all day. Whoever films and/or edits for you deserves a raise. Production value is amazing

Does he work for/own/partner with other gun channels too? I agree it’s fantastic, but also familiar.

[@taylormartin4346]

This is the type of "gun" content I'm really interested in. Great stuff guys, thanks for the work you're doing for the content.

[@barrelandhatchet]

You got it! Thanks for watching and for your supoort

[@davethrasher4124]

The amount of trade craft/ field craft that is being passed on by guys such as yourself, Mike Glover, and Slade is amazing. For so long it's been all about hype culture and who makes the coolest gadget, that we lost sight of what makes us actually effective. It'd be amazing to hear you guys sit down with old school LRRP dudes and pick their brains about fieldcraft.

[@barrelandhatchet]

Yeah! We wanted actually pertinent information transfers to happen immediately, actual skill sets that would help the viewer today. No more gate keepers

Thought provoking topic, mission accomplished. Being a Army Combat Veteran through the M81, ACU to Multicam/OCPs eras. I struggle to justify away from M81. Do to job changes, in the past 6 years, I've lived in the suburbs from So Cal, Vegas, Arkansas, now west coast Florida. Everything in environment, through all 4 seasons, my eyeline from the ground level to 6 feet is shrubbery. Green manicured suburban landscaping. As I walk, ruck, run, drive around, take pictures and contingency plan, I cannot see any alternatives other than M81, with light colored scrim for texture and dimension. Strong work gentleman.

[@sullimd]

Watched a bunch of y’all’s videos, can’t figure out why you don’t have 500k+ subs. So well done and informative.

[@ryang8040]

If you need lots of strong rubber bands just get bicycle tire innertube and cut loops out of it. Some refer to these as "ranger bands".

[@barrelandhatchet]

That actually is something that Q did talk about, great resource for sure, thanks for sharing that! Hopefully others take note

[@mykemcc1]

I agree!! I've steered 6-man outrigger canoes since I was a teenager in Hawaii and California (now 50). My teams always used bike tire innertubes to secure the 'Iakos to the canoe and to the Ama. If it it works in giant ocean swells, it'll suit your land needs.

[@marcosmontanez2844]

Your content is insane, its like a cinematic experience every time you upload. Keep it up guys!

[@Yance_000]

I knew a guy who would put pantyhose over his binocular lenses to reduce their signature. I imagine it would work well for scopes and other optics as well.

[@wesleyfrix7979]

I’m glad more knowledgeable guys are starting to produce content. Some topics of information feels saturated but what you guys are bringing to the table doesn’t fall in that category. Super interesting and entertaining stuff. Thanks gentlemen!

[@barrelandhatchet]

Thank you so much for the support and also we are glad we are able to bring good content and knowledge to the community by having a conversation

For packs, I wish someone would design a waterproof cover for rucks that could also have vegetation or scrim added. Just a thought.

[@oni_goroshi]

Just make your own. I have a waterproof cover that I glued fish net on to with shoegoo. It works great.

[@MIKE-br2lz]

Right on guys thank you for all the knowledge and time you r putting out for us. Looking forward to more.

[@Yeoman7]

Great talk, very informative 👍.

[@williampresley214]

I wrapped my rifle with a sniper veil then cut strips to hang from it. I added different length strips to try and break up the silhouette. I think sometimes paint can cause shine.

[@stephensackreiter8269]

*you guys are doing great! Thanks for the awesome content. Very relevant.

Going back to the cerakote, there are some types that are much less reflective under ir light. Sal, owner of redacted concepts, is a beast and can help with great cerakote work.

[@jasonmpd2946]

I really, really like this format. Y'all are becoming the Joe Rogan of TTP podcasts/vlogs. Keep it up! And I'm in Florida and hope to come train soon. Cheers.

This is great for me who doesn’t know that much about this stuff I’m learning a lot

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

I went with a cheap amazon boars head jacket this year. Made to look like fur of a boar. We have black bears, black wolves, and black fishers, but I am in dark black old growth forest swamps of the north. Where it's some times hard to tell if it's a tree stump or a black bear. Also a big fan of plain snow white camo. A little snow and the deer stand out and I blend in with the snow. Paint your rifle or bow. I did a bark paint job on my bow. I like the rattle cans with small 1/4 or smaller round netting and many coats for painting rifles. I find cedar and pine trees work good for cover scents. I use apple cover scent for hunting over bait. I even leave vehicle windows cracked during hunting season. I love my thermal. Helps for finding game too. It sucks in the fog off the swamps and the daily mid morning fog as forest floor dries up. The movement or outline is what catches my eye. I got some great pics of fisher cats over a deer kill at 60 yds. The black shape is what I noticed. Not a bear or stump bear or a bear behind a stump. All can be hard to tell at distance even with thermal. The dead deer was well cooled plus blended in and hard to see in pics.

[@selfrelience9384]

Would love to see a video on constructing and operating in an urban sniper hide

[@gysgtwright8455]

I do cerakote application and they have tons of both air cure & heat cure finishes in Flat, semi, and glossy for whatever your desired affect is I'm working on a M110 SASS in Multicam Black and the 4 primary colors are all non reflective Flat finishes

[@kurtbaier6122]

Thanks

[@galamonkey]

Production quality rapidly increasing. In just a few episodes you guys went from “shooting video at the range” to straight up AAA cinematography.

[@barrelandhatchet]

Yeah we have a little bit of a cinematic bug, we were testing things out in the early episodes

[@barrelandhatchet]

Expect most big hatchet cast episodes to be cinematic and the shop talk episodes to be more range time focused

[@phillipnichols4125]

Just found you guys. Really enjoyed this conversation and learned a lot! Would love to see more like this!

This is the Way

[@reddirtwalker8041]

In my area I have a blend of prairie grasses and woodlands. So based upon what I'm hearing here any equipment I get should probably be Coyote or something lighter (not sure what that would be). During the summer months stuff some grass or leaves everywhere and during the winter months less grass as the colors are close to natural, and just enough to break up my pattern?

Central Florida is definitely interesting when it comes to camouflage. You can go from a dark cypress hammock to light grasslands to pinewoods/scrub. Picked some solid information thanks. Would be cool to see JTAC do some classes on this.

[@timothypreston6496]

Is incorporating some hunting camo a bad idea? Some of my jackets and shirts have a good pattern and with the exception of covering up or removing logos they do a really good job in the right environment.

[@barrelandhatchet]

That is a good question actually

[@oni_goroshi]

If it works why not use it.

This is kind of a random thought about learning target detection, but I will say that after I started playing a hunting simulator (theHunter Call of the Wild) I've become much better at target detection.

A lot of people in my area could just throw on the mossy oak stuff they use for hunting and be damn near invisible. I wonder why those kinds of patterns don't ever get used on "tactical" gear like plate carriers or any of that.

Josh over at Grey Bearded Green Beret has excellent content

[@CycloneReaper45]

I feel the comment was dodged.. “is there a pattern that is the best” he went off into colors and environment but avoided patterns all together.. certain patterns break up the eyes response.. MARPAT is one.. your eye sees in pixels.. this breaks up the pattern into pixels and makes it harder for your eye to see.. now the ACU color scheme of this was horrible.. but the idea is effective.. US marines, navy, Dutch, Russia, Romania, Belgium and German winter uniform, Australian navy all use digital.. also if you take a picture of them just standing around not even trying to hard you ca. see them blend it rather well..
