I'm no soldier, but as a hunter your exactly right. Camo can be plain old wrong for the environment your in, but movement and noises you make will give you away every time.

[@mattkrueger1983]

Noise & movement will give you away every time. An old timer told me a long time ago: Move only when wind is blowing, it covers your noise and movement somewhat and don't let the sun shine on your face. The face has a lot of shine and sun in your eyes limits vision, and watch what you are doing. Move slow and smoothly from cover to cover.

[@grumpybuzzard7131]

Here in Eastern NC I use whatever I can find that will fit me, then I usually spray paint it. Example I got a chest rig from a SF medic that was "Grandma's quilt" pattern and simply hung it in the sun and spray painted it with mottled olive drab, light and dark browns. It actually seems to work pretty well. I ffgure, if things get to the point that we are using camoflauge to exist, then we will be utilizing everything we can. Also, you are spot on when it comes to light, noise and movement discipline. I typed this without my glasses...so my apologies if I have some misstypes.

[@tomcatt998]

One of the MANY things that i thank God for is camo spray paint

[@rheisz1]

[@relicpathfinder2800]

Patterned clothing are often overlooked. From a grey man perspective wearing civilian clothing (flower prints for women) checks, plaids, tie dye, Hawaiian style clothing of earth tones are blatantly obvious close up but at distance they act just like camouflage.

Best practical advice on the concept of camouflage I've seen presented. As far as camo pattern, rugged outdoor clothing in earth tone will always be my go to.

Thank you Stoker! It has to be kept in mind, unless professionals are looking for us, which is not likely, most people have zero awareness and will miss you with even basic cammo and fundamental knowledge that we have in the preparedness community!

[@GAJake]

What makes you invisible to the trees may make you stick out to regular people. In a guerilla war scenario solid earth colored normal clothes (Tan, Green, Brown) may be more useful than Camo patterns to make you not look like a combatant while you're moving to the AO for the ambush, but still allow you some camo potential. Maybe have your combat shirt or a camo poncho stuffed in your bag to put on when you get there.

[@jelkel25]

When I first started in the outdoors the only people who taught you anything were ex army and im very grateful they did. You are absolutely correct, light noise and movement gives you away. My favourite camo pattern is Rhodesian Brush Stroke but it's too rare and expensive. Im good with a mix of British and Dutch DPM in summer and Austrian Pea Pattern in winter.

[@ShaneFree]

The flashlight experiment was insightful, Bill. You should do more of that on occasion in different terrain in your videos.

[@daadadda]

I agree when you say many people's criticism of your camouflage shows their rather two-dimensional understanding of its principles. Forest environments are the last scenario where I'd be worried the colors of the textles I wear might show mv location. Forests are abundand in hide-outs, you seldomly oversee large areas through their trees and hills, so low visibility is easy to attain. There's plenty of improvisable camouflage materials like branches all around, earth, grass and mud can stain even a neon orange shirt into well suited camo colours in no time. Forests eat up noise and oftentimes the wind in the leaves or a rushing creek even overtones most sounds. The forest does many camo tasks for you if you're smart and understand the principles, no need to be so dogmatic about the camo you wear there! I personally live in Germany and our Bundeswehr's "Flecktarn" camouflage is arguably one of the best for forest environments (wonder if that would've eraned you criticism?). However, out of experience using it, I don't buy my equipment with Flecktarn anymore, cause I feel other surroundings require proper camo patterns way more and are less forgiving... for example I appreciate Multi-Camo for its ability to merge into dry grass and Tundra environments, it also works good in rocky, mountaneous areas, desert areas etc. These wide-range, open, light flooded environments call for appropriate textile patterns way more, imho. So, seeing a guy enter a stealth-oriented march into a forest getting criticized for a camo pattern that is a tiny nuance imperfect is so ridiculous, imho.

Camouflage is a tool like any other tool. If used correctly it works great. If you dont apply terrain and shadows to help with the deception you're already on your way to meet your maker. There is a reason SLLS is used as a means to help detect observers in the area.

[@JB-uk7mn]

Concamo fabrics and phantomleaf patterns are the best I’ve seen. Concamo gives you a light weight way of switching quickly between different zones, and phantomleaf is supposedly designed as a system to confuse the human eye and impede the observation of movement

It's hard to beat "Well Worn/Washed" Woodland and plain OD especially as a base. That being said some of the newer Multicam and A-TACS are sweet. I find in Alaska Flecktarn is king.

[@cndl_lght]

Multicam black is my favorite camouflage if done correctly. Scrim is heavily recommended in combination of wearing MCB with the muted golden taupe/olive color backing when MCB cloth is cut into strips for the head, and the best piece of equipment in my opinion is a sniper veil or ghillie hood with MCB cut into strips and fastened to it using a ghillie kit with string that matches your local foliage. The Dark MCB color mimics deep foliage whereas scrim/ghillie equipment breaks up the silhouette and mimics darker mid-level layering of foliage. Like any camouflage, MCB is only good if you know how to wear and use it. The longer it is exposed to the local elements, the more effective it is. So training with any gear with a pattern on it is recommended.

[@coffeegunpowderdoa886]

Personnaly i like the atacs patterns. They blend pretty well. Now there are more than a few similar options by other companies that use the same idea of a smeared color scheme.

[@WildBlueYonderDay]

I found you hiding, it was just the colour/shadow density in that area that had me mark it as a potential anomaly. Many folk have never been taught how to visually search an area. By simply dividing the visible area into 3 sections, what's nearest, then the middle ground and what's furthest away. Always looking from right to left, as our brain processes right to left tracking slower and is more likely to pick up something, versus left to right which our brain is accustomed to doing at speed with so many things like reading. I enjoyed your talk.

Good job! Noise and movement! Best things for spotting game too. For positioning: Note what attracts your attention. Don't hide there.

[@mervmartin2112]

@@KrisSays Just to make sure we've both using the same definition of "dead-space". As you scan an area, your eyes are attracted to things and tend to hop between them. You want to hide in the space (dead-space) that's hopped over, probably nearer to an attraction point than centered between them.

@@mervmartin2112 Yes, you are correct! Not dead space as in CQB, where you physically can not see a sector due to structure or furniture.

Top three patterns (my opinion). 1. Kryptek (but limited sizes, not just if you're overweight but even just big/tall or a weight lifter). 2. ATACS-FG (Unfortunately the company discontinued the pattern). 3.Multicam/Scorpion variants. Not saying there aren't other excellent patterns, but some of the best for being highly effective for majority of places on the globe.

When I was in the Army we had the OD green and that may have worked pretty well. Yet later the camo might have been a little better.

[@TheQuantumPotato]

1000% agree with you. A camo pattern is only there to work with you and help you blend in as much as possible. If you go stand out in the open, or jump around and shout, you are going to be easy to spot no matter what camo you're wearing. On the other hand, you will have a hard time detecting someone wearing solid OD Green who is trying not to be seen. Brent0331's videos are a great example of how pretty much any camo can be effective if it's utilised correctly. Also amusing that people were criticising you because they could see you in your video - it would be a pretty boring video if it was just a bunch of shots of trees where you were completely hidden. Some people have a strange mentality.

[@soldierstrong8614]

As we were taught and trained that there being two types of camo, that being natural and man made. That being said, I'm a firm believer that both go hand in hand to a degree not withstanding sound and movement, which I agree are the two things no one talks about this day and time.

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

Yup. Not having the mind to maintain discipline and situation awareness should always be the proactive practice. While CAMCON and using your natural environment to full advantage is important, not making dumb mistakes is moreso. I love M81/ OG US Woodland, but there's a lot of other ones I really like too-- Veil/ 5.11's GEO7 Terrain, Flecktarn, Ghosthood, Pencott, Phantomleaf, Dutch NFP, British DPM, Rhodie Brushstroke, old German M43/ M44, ATACS, they're all super solid. Honestly, an all solid medium Brown color uniform works well, it is the most prevalent foundational natural color around the globe, and you can do a lot with it, to include making your own camo system based on your regional/ localized environment. Cheers bro! Good stuff.

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

I'm glad that you mentioned light, noise and movement discipline Bill. Those will give you away ore than almost anything else. Plus your comment regarding terrain features is spot on. For my area, ATACS-IX camo is very affective!

[@RealitySurvival]

I prefer the newer 3D leaf like over suits. I have found them to be more effective than anything. Texture is one of the biggest factors in effective camo when it comes to just the material. But you are right about the movement discipline.

[@subdawg1331]

[@mobilegamersunite]

Any dark earth tones and greens work IMO. People forget to hide the face tho....and your hair can he a dead giveaway if you have blonde hair. Always go black face and hide your hair (if you have any) The best camouflage is made from the environment you are trying to hide in...that's what will match the best 👌 the problem is...there is no one size fits all camouflage pattern so any dark earth tone is a good start to build on.

[@sombra6153]

I won’t claim to be a master of camouflage. I wore woodland BDUs and the OD hot weather uniform. For all round, my I would go with the hot weather OD for many environments and camp accordingly. Spent a few years in the desert southwest wearing a green uniform that wasn’t particularly designed or intended for stealth. I found that little things like eliminating anything that jingled or rattled, and subdues snaps on keepers and buckles helped some. Using the shadows was your best friend.

[@badger31738]

This was very good info. My husband and I were walking through the woods. I generally try to stay as quiet as I can while walking. My husband on the other hand was shuffling his feet through the dead leaves and sticks. I would have never known that he was a hunter if I went by that. It was very eye opening how noisy he was.

Do you have a video, of not could you make a video, of walking silently in the woods, especially with dried and crunchy leaves? Always great content! Thanks!

[@davidblanchard5252]

Camouflage is best worn for concealment that blends in with the terrain. Bright shining colors are noticeable. White is out unless there is snow. Camouflage matches the color that blends with the color of terrain, no movement, or anything that makes you stands out.

[@SnakeBitBob1982]

I was a hunting guide in the past and found that for me and my clients in my AO the ASAT (All Season All Terrain) camo with its combinations of tans and browns in big open patterns hid me and my hunters as well as or better than anything else outside of a ghillie. The problems with ghillies when hunting big game is the odor of the fabrics/strings alerts big game that something is off. Ground air currents typically swirl as well as thermal air movements upwards and downwards can wash scent over a larger area than most people realize, so its not as easy as "play the wind". But as mentioned in this video, movement will give you and/or your targeted being every single time. A hunter or observer is not looking for a target, just looking for movement. In the big game hunting world almost nothing moves downward when it senses danger. Birds fly upwards and 4 legged creatures move horizontally. Almost the only things that hunkers down when danger approaches are baby deer and people. Movement is key. Great video. Thanks for your good work sir

Most commercially available camo patterns are more visible than "camoing" yourself within your surroundings on solid flat earth tone colors. Also with camo, it should be broken between two, three, four or more patterns worn on the body. Make yourself blend in, do not rely on the clothing for blending and hiding you.

Greetings Top- My favorite camo is German Flecktarn. Ive trained with the woodland BDU's and ACU's years ago. I think the base colors are most important with camo. In other words- if you have 3 or 4 of the same colors, but all different patterns, they are all effective but it also depends on the person wearing it. Everyone hated wearing overwhites up in Alaska, but it was effective. If anyone here uses facepaint/camo, what is a good brand to get?

[@bringer-of-change]

My local environment is very similar, if not exactly the same as the one your in in this video. My camoflage isnt conolete yet, but im actually starting with dark/black multicam, and im gonna attatch scrim to match the fallen leaves, but with some green as well to match the not fallen leaves. Even the predators camoflage isn't perfect. It just needs to be good enough to make it easier for you to kill your target before it kills you. If it allows the target to pass you without noticing you thats a great bonus but thats what guilli is for. I think im gonna make a guilli suit for actually attatching vegetation n such to it as I find it. It requires creative thunking but i like the idea of being able to customize the camoflage on the go to match the environment around my body as I go. I'd love to have some elecyromagnetic light bending camo, but damn dude. That would be hard to make, rewuire an extreme ammount of power, and even be dangerous to use. The predator took a lighting strike through his combi stick being grounded to a f*ckin skyscraper man lol. So getting shocked is obviously no issue for the yautja like it would definitely be for us. But I digress...

[@donwest600]

I agree top, your camo technique was fine, you blended in with the shadows well. Movement, noise and light discipline are what give positions away. Look up how "odd man out" "lighting 3 cigarettes on one match is bad luck" . The Boer wars is where these originated.

[@rdaugherty52]

Favorite has always been tiger stripes. I use to live 980 ft up in the mountains some call that a hill but it went on up higher than that but it was heavy forest. I could sit in my kitchen, look out the window with binoculars and see nothing but mountains and forests we were actually as high as the Olympia forest fire tower. I would watch deer moving all around and those boogers can blend in. They don’t have fancy camo the buckskin blends in they also change color to match the season from the tan to a gray . Man there hard to see a lot of the time the only way I could find them was the horizontal line of their back. Now this is looking through binoculars and there not trying to hide anyway shapes are important. I am rambling see ya later.

It doesn’t matter which camo pattern you wear, a pattern is just a base layer to build up from. It’s how you apply and use the natural vegetation around you to your advantage.

[@relicpathfinder2800]

That's true to a point. There are three levels of depth for camouflage. Near, intermediate, and far. A near camo pattern appropriate for the region and season will fade in very well but at far distance the pattern blurs into a solid blob. A far or distant camo pattern has large blotches that help you blend in with your surroundings, but closer up it's obvious. And then there are a few unique patterns that are versatile enough to work well at all three levels, but still preferred for either far or close.

In that last shot, I actually did spot your hat. It blended in well, but it looked like a head. That's the only shot I guessed correctly on, though.

pencott greenzone or CADPAT is the best for my area

[@ethanspringer8190]

The biggest thing that you got on that u agree with and myself need to work on is movement. That will give you away before anything else

[@eagleclaw6]

Military camo, Woodland then CP Non Military camo, Realtree Extra or Mossy Oak Advantage just works great in my area. I still have my half ass worn out Woodland BDUs from the 80's

Simple is, that the best time to have movement ,is under cover of darkness. Point blank. And, like you mentioned, noise and movement discipline. Slow is fast. The slower one is moving, he/she will be quieter. Slower movement, is also much harder to detect,day or night 💯. Semper Fidelis
