[@AlphaCharlieConcepts]

Enjoyed doing this one my brother.

[@Brent0331]

Likewise!

[@hrdknox2000]

I would love to get this, simply because I love the duo making the content! However, I have camo coming out of my ears! I have camo scattered all over my house, my car, etc, so I don't know how she'd feel about me getting yet another! Lol! However, I do have a name suggestion for the pattern: "Partisan Rock Pattern"!

[@deltajuliet3164]

Good vids as always

[@recon1986]

The white in that red dawn camo seems to blend in perfectly with the shine of leaves from the sun. It makes you blend into environments that dont have snow or white at all

[@lowlandnobleman6746]

Looks like an improved US woodland camo. Here in the South, faded US woodland works really well. It’s decent when it’s new, but the big black and dark brown splotches on it make a tad bit dark for my neck of the woods. Not a problem after it’s faded a bit, though. Y’all are definitely onto something with the camo top and the tan or olive green pants. Seems like a good combination. Great video!

[@DZ4295DBW]

AOR2 works fantastic in the southeast too. Along with MC Tropic and MC/MC Arid for the mountains during fall.

[@lowlandnobleman6746]

Interesting. Thanks for the recommendations. Not a big fan of pixel camos, though AOR2 does look effective. I like Multicam, but don’t have anything in it. As far as camo, I mostly have woodland and khaki at the moment. I’m hoping to see if 3 color desert camo works during fall and winter when it’s more tan and brown than green. A lot of that 3 color desert stuff can be had at bargain prices, given how much was made in the 1990s and early 2000s.

[@frigglebiscuit7484]

@@lowlandnobleman6746 ucp camo dyed with rit apple green dye works really well in the southeast during spring and early summer. ive also come to really like mossy oak original bottomland camo.

Gentleman, that is one beautiful pattern. Even you guys standing talking in the intro it blends beautifully. Wolverine pattern for sure. Red Dawn was an awesome movie & one I grow up with here in the UK 🇬🇧. Excellent work 🙌

[@TheRaginCajun6]

I love this camouflage. It works well. As a Navy vet I got the tail end of the Woodlands until they switched to the nwu3's but we wore those before anyone else at SCW-1

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

Nice! Works pretty well, the sunshine definitely washed y'all out but that's the south for ya heheh, when y'all were posted up it blended nicely.

[@mountaineerpatriot8664]

I’ve been mumbling to myself for a long time for someone to take M81, tone down the black and dark drown and maybe thin those patterns out a bit. Then go a little heavier on the greens and lighter browns/tans. It’s about time someone listened to the voices in my head! This pattern is gorgeous! And to touch on what John was saying about the camo in “Lone Survivor”, I live in mid Atlantic Appalachia, and I use to deer hunt in chocolate chip desert bottoms and just a brown and tan flannel sherpa lined shirt. And sitting down behind a wall of leaves, you would not believe the deer and people that would walk up on me without seeing me.

[@jb8086]

I bet that does work great. In my part of the Blueridge we took old woodland and dyed it brown, walnut husks work awesome. Hard to spot in the fall leaves.

[@mountaineerpatriot8664]

@@jb8086 I’ve seen videos of people doing that. I have been wanting to try that myself, as it does look like it would work very well.

[@prylosecorsomething3194]

In the fall once the leaves are dead I pull out an LL Bean flannel in what looks like a desert version of duck hunter. It's shockingly effective in the dead leaves

[@whomagoose6897]

Seen a lot of your camo videos. The Vietnam era green sateens with slated chest pockets are my all time favorites. BDU woodland are just as great. We wont talk about the ACU camo the Army used for awhile. Those are a no go. This Wolverine camo does get my interest. May just get a set, or two. I seen some deer hunters use the Candy Apple green. It was worthwhile to redye those heavily discounted ACU's.

[@jelkel25]

Still prefer the older larger patterns so really like this pattern. Yes, you can get American Woodland, British DPM at a good price but who knows for how much longer and the French have just stopped using CCE so im hoping there's a glut on the market and I can pick up some of those at cut price. Great pattern.

[@LRRPFco52]

British DPM is a great pattern. It was always better than Woodland.

[@prylosecorsomething3194]

There's been a decent amount of French CCE showing up and I expect more as it works its way out of the warehouses and troops hands. It seems like a pretty good addition, and those CCE fleeces have no right to be as comfy as they are

[@kenmccrady1228]

@AlphaCharlieConcepts. I’m really surprised I didn’t see you in one of our Florida Militia events/ meetings. I was in Charlie company (basically central from St. Pete to Vero) but we trained all over the state. You would’ve been a good asset.

[@farmerwayne1404]

Nice pattern, guys ! Woodlands great, but can be dark. This pattern seems to blend in well and a bit lighter. Ya'll might just have something there👍👍👍

Awesome, I thought it might be too bright, but it wasn't. Works nicely, it's also a cool design. Definitely has an armed resistance look to it with that hood on.

Y'all were 20 miles away in that first shot. Could've been wearing big bird costumes and no one would've seen you 😂

[@jesupcolt]

On the point of multicam, I like the pattern. I think it's rare you'll find an environment it's the clear best choice for. But, I think it's reasonably effective in most environments, as was intended.

[@chewinbubblegum2695]

Although I love the pattern, I always thought that M81-type Woodland should totally omit the Black for a Med Grey. Grey does appear in nature far more often, & is still effective at creating shadow effects. I really feel that this alone would make the pattern nearly perfect, & allow it to work far better in almost every environment. Especially less wooded areas, & urban environments. Even the "Wolverine" pattern I believe would benefit from the use of Grey instead of Black.

[@recon1986]

I tell my friends and family to get themselves M81 woodland pants and tops because that in my opinion is the American militia/minuteman camouflage and easily identified by civilians and friendly forces... none of our enemies use that camouflage and none of our military/police forces use it aside from marsoc in certain situations. If your a prepared citizen it's ok to have multicam or OCP, or ranger green but you must have M81 woodland as well

[@Zambezi_]

agreed. I personally run m81 but will throw on ocp trousers in the fall when everything starts looking dead and brown. M81 and OCP combo is surprisingly effective.

[@Military.FutureUrbanCamo]

​@@Zambezi_what about Desert Night Camo

[@prylosecorsomething3194]

​@TBlock-Camo desert night looks cool but it doesn't really work

[@lowlandnobleman6746]

Desert night camo is honestly more of a meme than a real camo. If you want good desert patterns, go with US six color desert or US tricolor desert. Multicam arid, desert tiger stripe, and desert flecktarn might also work, depending on area. That is of course, assuming you’re in either a desert or a forest in autumn with lots of brown leaves on the ground.

[@Zambezi_]

@@Military.FutureUrbanCamo DNC is cool for looking cool, not so much function. there are way better choices. theres a reason its considered a failure but still, its drippy

[@ratagris21]

Wolverine camo pattern is good to go. I hope the name sticks.

[@TravisMcKnight-lk7gg]

High contrast colors next to one another breaks up the shape , silhouette , shadows the best . Lower on the body clothes should reflect on ground color and above the waist area foliage that cuts the silhouette in half , like you said. So you take a knee to aim your blending some what. Smaller shapes work better and larger shapes draw the eye during movement.

[@johnsawyer3390]

Need a video on that AK

[@AlphaCharlieConcepts]

I have videos up on both of them.

[@ms.annthrope415]

The woodland was one of the best cammo patterns used by the US. No, it wasn't good in urban enviroment, but it wasnt as bad as the ACR pattern. It wasn't as good in thrbdesert, but we either have a cammo that works really well in one or two environments or use a cammo pattern that doesn't work too well in any enviroment.

[@Reichsadler-Germania]

And it works!!! Absolute cool!

[@dirtlegdirtleg]

In these videos it is important to keep in mind that concealment isn't the same as camouflage. Hiding behind a bush 200 yd away doesn't really give a good example of the camouflage nature of the clothing. I have seen this mistake on numerous camouflage videos.

[@christianhermansson8566]

I just went to their website and there is absolutely nothing like that on their site. Apparently they are not selling it.

[@BaronSFel001]

Once again, thanks to this channel, I learn of a source I otherwise likely would never have come across. Browsing 0241's online store shows they are one of those I'm really pleased is out there: keeping classic US camouflage patterns alive. If an outfit like that could expand to a point of offering newly made modern BDUs in any pattern and fabric of choice to 21st century minutemen (not to mention the late-Cold War through GWOT reenactment community): that would be a dream.

[@christianhermansson8566]

Looks very good. The problem with nearly all modern camos is that they have no real macro pattern, not enough contrast and thus no visual break up effect at all from a distance (exceptions are french CCE, swedish M90, 68 pattern DPM and a couple of older ones). Multicam for instance looks like solid tan/pink from a short distance and you can see in all the drone videos from Ukraine just how much multicam, atacs fg and ukraine digital do not camouflage the wearer. They all stand out almost like a man in snow overwhites in a newly plowed black field. Completely worthless in that environment and they have no doubt cost many thousands of soldiers their lives.

[@bullfrog8221]

I'm not seeing the smock on the website, I live in WNC and that new patter will work well where I live
