TAKE THAT, AIR FORCE SAGE CAMOUFLAGE!

[@Musicalpa]

I really would have liked to see how they looked after they dried. Did they noticeably lighten up in color after it was dried?

[@DriveCarToBar]

You ruined it!!! How am I supposed to blend in with grandma's sofa now?

[@RealitySurvival]

That is very cool! I cant stand that Army/AF sage nonsense. No clue what they were thinking when they went to that. Thanks!

[@Front-Toward-Enemy]

They used the colors that night vision has the hardest time picking up.

[@DriveCarToBar]

funny thing is that from a distance, it works pretty well in the deserts of the world. They're not as brown and tan as you might think. But UCP and ABU suck pretty much anywhere else. Almost as bad as the old Navy blueberries that were thankfully chucked overboard.

[@realworldprepper]

Great info! I was most impressed with the result on the DCU sustainment pouch. It retained the darker brown areas which is good in woodland regions. I' ll be waiting to see what your experience over the longer term is, as to whether it fades when it dries or runs in the rain, or if it rubs off onto other items. In the meantime, I will be looking for some of that dye today. Most of my current gear is either the Gawd awful ACU or ABU sage camo pattern, because - mainly - it is readily available (as you said, nobody really wants it) and it is relatively inexpensive (and, I'm cheap). I've been wanting to dye it for some time, but haven't found a product which delivers the results I'm looking for. This one might be the answer. Of course, I'll have to wait for warmer weather and a time when she's not around, so I can sneak the old lady's stock pot out to the grill, like you did, before I can try it out.

[@renaissancemarinetv3536]

good luck with THAT covert operation!

[@realworldprepper]

Thanks. Definitely a high risk, volunteer only, leave behind nail clippings and hair trimmings in an envelope, sort of mission.

[@jhosk]

Thanks for the video! My molle 2 pack is my favorite, rides perfectly but I can't stand the color, sticks out like a sore thumb around here. I'm going to get some of the green and brown and see if it will work with a spray bottle if I saturate different areas.

[@ricardo340]

Air Force ABU was tiger stripe, we did get stuck with Army ACU packs etc at times. The developer of the ABU wanted to use different colors that would have been amazing but of course the pilots didn't listen. It's a stupid waste of money for all the services to have a different utility uniform and associated gear. Thanks for your videos, I appreciate them.

[@LairdErnst]

That is an impressive dye job. Wish we had that color or a desert version on deployment. Would have worked better than the couch upholstery pattern the Army and Air Force had.

[@PalmettoParatrooper]

Everything that was issued to me was that crappy pattern. I've been wanting to dye them for almost a decade.

[@josephcontreras8930]

You're just like me friend I don't buy new either I get most of my stuff from yard/garage sales surplus and second hand stores too. Useful vid I'm gonna try this thanks for making it..

[@poorgeorgiaprepping714]

Great info can’t wait to get some and try it out Semper Fi and God Bless

[@RockHavenFarm]

Thank you for this video. I’m going to be getting some of that dye and giving it a go. I have some desert camo that needs to be green.

[@shovelhead8]

Looks like a good dye. Are you going to leave some pieces outside so we can see if it fades much? Thank you for the video.

[@dsimmons6522]

Thank you for that awesome tip!!!!!

[@WinkenSmile]

Try the dark green rit dye. 3$ in the fabric section at walmart. My results from it look similar. I know why the ruck belt didnt dye, the material is water resistant to wick the sweat away to keep you cool and dry. I couldnt dye mine either.

[@renaissancemarinetv3536]

i guess i wasnt clear. i have used rit quite a bit. i have never gotten these results from rit.

[@WinkenSmile]

Renaissance MarineTV yeah i seen those vids, like kelly green. I didnt think you used the dark green.

[@humansvd3269]

We only got the ABU because the CMSAF at the time wanted his stripes to be obvious......I'm not joking. We should have just stayed M81 Woodland.

[@tomm2812]

Good information. Maybe I will be able to dye my mish-mash camo gear to look similar. Best

[@LFTDoffroad]

Good stuff, thanks

[@bevlower6793]

they look great, i'd be interested in how the dye does over time...if it fades or stains things that you pack in it. looks like a good solution (he, he) so far.

[@Unit13FREMSLT]

It will stain if it's not rinsed well, the poly coating on the inside of most military surplus has it. It fades in the sun like all the other dyes do. Haven had it run yet. Yet being the key word. Check out the video I made using this dye.

[@swampfox5329]

Looks pretty cool, I'm getting ready to do another batch of the olive drab green Rit Dye. I have a few more uniforms to do and then some odds and ends equipment to dye.

[@vikingmitch4049]

Works great on coyote brown to.cheers from the UK.

[@essexplodder9796]

be very handy if A it was available in black & B i could get here on my side of the pond atb Barry

[@ireland66613]

What was the color could not read the label thank you

[@renaissancemarinetv3536]

GREEN 452

[@ireland66613]

@@renaissancemarinetv3536 thank you very much. Much appreciated

[@Nowhere888]

Can you show a picture of the gear that has fully dried after the iDye process since the gear was still dripping wet in the video?

[@renaissancemarinetv3536]

i dyed alot more yesterday. i will do a video soon showing it all. but it didnt lighten up appreciably.

[@observationpostcharlie1365]

Awsome brother i will be doimg. This

[@SURVIVOR-og6dl]

Just an interesting note, ir looks right through the dye and the old pattern stands right out.

[@RIEKSONE]

lol Gear dyeing is soon to be a hooby of mine .

[@sotacal]

Do you think I could dye my (air force) sage green boots into a brown color? That green looks terrible with jeans!!!

[@renaissancemarinetv3536]

good question. of course it will only go darker. most likely it will be a dark green. it would take alot of brown to get that to show thru.

[@jeffkardosjr.3825]

Has anybody tried clear coat spray paint on polyester?

[@harvestblades]

Curious to see how a brown would work on that same pattern.

[@PhilMRivers]

Good stuff.

[@elzippo488]

You never said what color RIT Green you used. Looks real dark. Shoulda went with APPLE Green.

[@wildrouge987]

1:47 lmao if it stinks its gonna work regardless

[@WaysOfTheJedis]

Air force never used this camo they used digital tiger stripe named ABUs these are UCPs

[@renaissancemarinetv3536]

its the same nasty color

[@mikeboone4425]

Looks good were on our way to find some of this I dye best video in some time .

[@judesheckelberg5135]

Air Force used a digital tiger stripe, not UCP...

[@renaissancemarinetv3536]

THANKS FACT CHECKER! i dont think i called it UCP, but i did lump the army and air force in as digital sage camo. and they deserve nothing more, for choosing those nasty colors.

[@humansvd3269]

@@renaissancemarinetv3536 I utterly despised ABUs. Everyone jumped on the digital train bevause the marines did. We should have gone multicam or stayed woodland.

[@Unit13FREMSLT]

Cool you tried it. Thought that might work better for you.
