I believe they took birds eye view shots of Finnish forests and ran it through a computer system to create the pattern

Camouflage is honestly borderline invisibility. This is crazy. Definitely gonna buy finish camo.

[@andy_in_nh9243]

In the second scene, I like how you started out concealed, then moved a little bit, and then took a knee. I think that technique (coming in and out of concealment) does a great job of demonstrating the pattern's effectiveness.

[@Garbanzo884]

M05 wood camo is excellent in a wooded environment and they have a fall and snow camo also.

[@Devin_Stromgren]

I'm surprised how effective it is given that the greens of your AO are far brighter than the pine forests for which this pattern was intended.

[@mnguy98]

I honestly thought you'd gotten in contact with Varusteleka for this pattern, cuz I didn't think there'd be anywhere else you could find it. This looks really frickin' cool.

I think Finnish coniferous forests are bit darker which reflects to the design but still seems to work well in a bit lighter environments as well

[@yfelwulf]

Superb colour match for the surrounding. As long as there is even a little foliage in front it is near invisible. When standing or kneeling it appears darker than surrounds, I would recommend keeping near tree trunks or deep shadow while so. Sure if you stood motionless in deep shadow most would not see you.

[@Huligan722]

Great job at disappearing to the forest! Some locations were really hard to find, others needed little shade or patch of darkness to blend in perfectly!

[@MrHrKaidoOjamaaVKJV]

Excellent video Brent, way to go! I have to say having worn several cammoflage combat uniforms in both of my careers with the U.S. Army and Estonian Defense Forces Army. What, I found is the design of the, Estonian BDU I was issued in 1995, which was based off of the Swedish and Finnish Zipper pocket Combat uniforms, are overall the Best, most versatile cuts, designs that I have ever worn of any Tactical combat cammoflage uniform. In my Estonian Zipper Pocket Combat tactical uniform, I could fit a Glock 17 pistol entirely in the upper shirt pockets. Same in the,Swedish version, I do not know about the Finnish version. Now having used/ tested this design. What is your feelings of the Finnish design Tactical Combat Uniform?

[@XenonThargoth]

Its a bit too dark for north Texas, but still good :)

Great presentation again. Thank you

[@secondchance6603]

There were times I wanted to slap you when you fired off a shot! I got so sucked in with the sounds of nature it completely distracted me. For a non 3D pattern it appears, (or in this case doesn't) to be extremely effective. Kinda bumbed out that it ended so soon, could have watched this for much much longer just for the scenery and the sounds. All the best from the Far North of New Zealand!

[@PowermadNavigator]

Somehow I forgot that you hadn't tested this one yet. Really hard to get, mostly because of its cost, but sure worth it. Very effective in the lush green setting... Varusteleka.com are the only guys I know that have this. This pattern lost its trademark (so to speak) protection in September 2016 (I think...) and has been more widely available commercially since. Russian copies are made by supposedly decent local companies, but they don't come out much cheaper than Varusteleka's supply and they say that theirs is the best. Either made in Russia or Estonia in Varusteleka's case. Got money? Choose.

[@leka34]

There's a few other Finnish websites that sell it as well, but not sure if they ship abroad. But you also can't go wrong with Varusteleka. High quality products and great customer support. You get what you pay for.

[@tangle70]

Seemed a little dark there. I bet it is invisible in a more northern woods.

[@TheApilas]

Yes its intended for forrests with lots of pine and fir trees besides leafy trees and bushes and grass etc.

[@tangle70]

@@TheApilas I understand why it is a darker shade.

[@riku3716]

I noticed. In the first hiding spot I didn't find him, but when I realized the tone difference I spotted him in the second one. Still blended in really well.

[@iliilil5761]

its more effective in Finnish forests

[@PalleRasmussen]

In Finland, and in my native Denmark, the Finnish camouflage is much more effective than the silly Multicam. In the four months of summer here in Greenland, Multicam is better, as it is in Afghanistan, but as we hear up to fight Russians in The Baltic States and Poland, getting the Finnish or even going back to our old M84 would be better.

[@mattgent8599]

You said "going back to our old m84". Is it just your wording, or is Denmark not using m84 as standard issue anymore? I don't read much on the Danish military, but I've always loved the m84 pattern. I've searched for a reliable source of m84 clothing but never had any luck.

Bought a Blood Ladle (Finnish Jaeger style cap) in this pattern to see if I liked it, the caps pattern had too much black in it for my taste so didn't buy any more in the pattern. There seems less in your pattern but I'm still not convinced. I think it's probably better than CadPat in pine forests which are often darker than the current environment. I am not the biggest fan of many of the smaller modern patterns anyway, I think they're over hyped but are improving recently.

(Or another pattern you prefer) I live in the Hills West of Tulsa, (On 103 Acres thats Been in the family since 1909). Your environment in North TX is very similar to what's here.

Use the “Step-by-step” method for looking. Look towards the shadows, and think, where would you be if you where doing what he was doing. It is not really easy to find but when you stand a lot of lookout watches you start to get an eye for it.

Depends on your environment. If your in a heavily forested area go with something like Woodland or Flecktarn. If you live in an area with less forest and more urban you can get away with something lighter in color. Maybe look into A-TACS camouflage and see if they make something that works for you.
