There is a time and place for everything , including VARIOUS camo patterns , personally I like blending differing earth-tone colors for my clothing and gear . Thanks Stoker .
I just commented how well it works here in Indiana summer . Multicam works better in early spring and fall in Indiana . Czech vz 95 camo is pretty close to tropic cam
I live in the province of Quebec, CDN. It’s the boreal forest here. The 3 best camouflages that work here (and I have tested several): fairly equivalent for the three seasons are Flecktarn - Marpat -DPM British - M81. I salute you sir.
You can use Rit fabric dyes to get the color you want for your AO. I’ve used Green Apple and Dark Green dyes on my old ACU uniforms. To dye equipment, you’ll need to get Rit Synthetic fabric dyes.
Good vid on the camo. I live in a woodland environment. Winters it's primarily browns and grey. Spring and Summer lots of greens, of course. Different stuff works in different seasons. I do like that shirt you're wearing, going to check them out for warm weather .... Great story too, I'll look for the book as well .... I think we're coming into those times here again, sadly. Corruption and evil seem to be rampant. Thanks for what you do Brother and give the new pup some love from me!
Here in eastern Washington is a lot of open land of varying terrain types. In the last few years we have finally been presented with some camo types with sagebrush wit more grey and brown,tan tones. Mossy oak leaves never fit in here. Good new conifer patterns are good here as well. In the Columbia basin day desert works well.
M81 here in SC Alaska. 50/50 nyco is a good all-around fabric. Original BDU’s are still readily available. RAID mod the blouse for extra coolness. In the late fall, desert marpat works good.
Good job Stoke!!!! I agree about the camo ,especially in most eastern states ,assorted green types of camo usually works pretty well…Also it’s season (environment)dependent to.. Even though it’s before my time ,I like the old Vietnam era green jungle fatigues and the Tiger stripe Fatigues…
Wi Spring/Summer my #1 Vietnam Tiger stripe, #2 MARPAT digi woodland, #3 M-81 Woodland. In the Fall OCP/Multi Cam after the freeze and everything is Brown. Winter pure White.
The A-TACs is very good in this country but I like the Rhodesian Brushstroke and DPM. Your Multicam Tropic is amazing as it looks dark in low light and brightens up nicely in daylight (if that makes sense!).
I kinda like it tbh. I was issued the M81 salad suit and it was good camouflage at the time. This new blouse has some nice new features as well. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoy every video that I watch here. The messages are put out there and you feel informed. Even the relaxed ones have meaning. Great job, keep it up.
I'm ordering the book - been hearing about it and I remember reading about the incident years ago. Real Americans - veterans at that - doing what needed to be done! We're getting damn close to it again. Right now this book is FIRE!🔥🔥🔥
Tru- spec makes a tropical multi- cam! I've got it here in the prairie desert of Okla! Works great in this time of the year! M- 81 woodland is perfect here as well! Thanks!🤝🙌🇺🇸👍👍✌️🫡👌
Good to see a video on the Kurtz shirt. I have two of them. Great field shirts. One thing I do wish they had that the Crye G3 tops have is a hand pocket behind the chest pockets. Definitely not a deal breaker but those chest pockets are…”handy” when standing around. 😂 The built in tie down loops are great features as well. You said you aren’t sure why they have the velcro and button on the pockets. I’d say the button provides additional security for the closure and when the velcro wears out, the button is there to close the pocket. My guess at least.
S W Ohio, M81 is the best pattern for Spring, Summer, Early fall, well into the Fall, OCP/Multicam, or Coyote Brown, works well, light snow on the ground, and still some greenery, and the dark browns, a combination of UCP, and Coyote works well.
I guess it could, but the reddish orange color, is not usually present until the fall around this area, Watch Brent 0331 video about the camo pattern, it'll give you a better idea.
I've played around with a lot of types. My buddies and I played a lot of paint ball back in the day and used a lot of different types of camo as well. Phantomleaf is my favorite for central Alabama. Multi-Tropic is great too. But what I found is that even flat FDE and ODG are great at breaking up shapes. I appreciate the autism related to camo discussions, I eat it up, but camo patterns stop mattering if you're moving. As long as your colors generally blend in, you won't have too dissimilar results. If you're not moving, get a Ghillie. That's how you actually blend in and disappear. Otherwise, just get what you like or what your team uses (for PID)
The best camouflage pattern is the one that matches your area of operation... And the season of the year that you are experiencing... I personally like real tree... But it is not always the best one for me
After years of doing my own testing in the dense vegetation of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, I concluded I need two patterns actually. May through September it's all Ranger Green. October through April it's all Coyote Brown. Depending on the exact ground I'm on I would mix the patterns of top and bottom. Accessory pieces I just do either of those colors, or substitute OD green or tan (but not light tan). This works quite well and nothing beats just knowing how to move in the woods.
I'm from the appalachian plato area and I've found that colors work well here too. I've also found that there is a color of gray that matches a bunch of trees here it works pretty well on the upper body. It works in the later part of the year once everything has died off. Also if you rattle can anything just a touch of rusty red can help if you're around the more dead grassy areas here (think of foxes and coyotes).
@@Artorias001 Good point, I forgot to mention that grays are a third solid color I mix in for the reason you mentioned- the right shade really blends with tree bark.
Rural Indiana in the summer works with tropic cam well . Get some Czech vz 95 camo works great too and even works well the tropic multicam Tropic cam is my top 2 favorite
Yea, given how green it can get I've considered tropic a few times. Aor2 and Tiger do pretty good near the rivers and marshy woods, near me. So I can see tropic doing good as well especially out in the corn.
Im from the Ozarks, love M81 and love Tropic Multicam. My JPC 2.0, is in tropic multicam but i have found multicam can work in the summer for my area when your in the fields during they dry months, as the hay fields are spot on with crye multicam. My base layers (warm weather layers) are tropic and m81 woodland. My winter layers consists of a mix of Khaki browns and multicam for when everything is dead and has fallen
I totally agree with you, another great contender and possibly less expensive is the Greek lizard camo - surprisingly you can find it easy compared to the tropic multi.
God bless you and m81!!! Where I'm at m81, multi cam tropical, usmc woodland marpat, flektarn, some hunting camo and some of the old school winter camos work. Can you send links for the old school videos you have for Alice kit, ect...
The US can learn from this company and its innovations. I think the buttons on tbe pocket allow you to get a opposing velcro piece and cover them and use the bottons for the field. Why they put velcro on a tactical uniform for pockets etc than buttons is amazing. Buttons are quiet and can easily be field repaired! Nice piece of kit. Hefty price tag! Damn!
Aor2 would work in the bright foliage there. Marpat or flektarn are good as well. I have a massive camo collection and rock about 4 patterns depending on the area and time of year. Mc tropic is definitely one of my favorites though. Atacs fg is a favorite of mine relative to the time of year. Also a lighter bright pattern.
In my part of NC I like Flectarn, Multicam Tropic, M81 Woodland depending on the time of year. Also sometimes the Basic Real Tree that looks like Pine Bark with nothing else works good. 95% of the time I am mixing these up as well.
I'm in North Texas in a suburban area, but plenty of stretches of green for now. Camo changes with the weather. Here you can get away with something heavy green like M81 Woodland or Russian EMR (if you like that, from March to about mid July. Then you need more yellows and browns, like the Six Color Desert pattern. Maybe still some green from Aug to mid Dec. Then winter, just different shades of brown. Lol
For me in central Alabama the wooden digital pattern works good in a pine thicket or in most places during the winter. The NWU type III digital pattern works good in most places during the summer. I love M81 but its almost to dark in most places, specially during the winter.
Central Texas, multicam does work pretty well for the most part, in the summer and winter when its really dry DCU and multicam work great. Penncott Badlands though is my favorite and very effective here.
I have found it depends on the time of year and the region I am in, here in Alaska. In the summer, in the more temperate regions such as South Central, the Southern Coast, or the Southern Peninsula, M-81 Woodland or Viet Nam era Tiger Stripe works well since we are pretty well covered up in Birch, Spruce, and Alder. On the Tundra, something with a splotchy green/brown/tan (like the Mossy Oak styles). In the fall, pretty much everywhere, the same Mossy Oak styles works. But as the fall progresses (which happens rapidly here) an old set of faded, rust brown Carharts with blotches of red/yellow/and orange paint and you will literally disappear. Pretty much anything to break up your silhouette and there is (generally) enough foliage to conceal even fairly large movements, as long as you don't move to quickly. The biggest thing to ensure you won't spook game or give yourself away is to cover your face and hands. Use a sniper's veil and gloves along with any mixture of clothing that generally isn't too bright and colorful. This has worked well for me for many decades hunting here. I've even had hunting partners that knew I was around somewhere, standing just a few feet away, but they had no idea I was there until I say something like, "Hey, yer in my line of fire. Ya wanna move to the left or right so'as I can shoot?" Usually gets there attention. 😁
I absolutely love my ATACS foliage green or their arid climate pattern. Blends with almost any environment. AO very northern commiefornia, very lush in rainy months and dry. We’re getting our asses cooked right now in this heat. Stay hydrated and be ready at all times y’all 🇺🇸🫡
Atacs IX mixed with FG works well in my PNW neighborhood. Blends in well with cloudy grey days with all the urban green vegetation and drab building colors. M81 in the summer, at least trousers.
Rhodesian Brushstroke, British Woodland DPM, Pencott Wildwood, Swedish M90. My favorite is Concamo Green or Brown but hard to get anymore. Germans stopped making it.
Kentucky . Fall Austrian pea pattern parka . Blends great , feels like pajamas although giving it a good water proofing is helpful. Atacs AU is good Winter usmc winter marpat , fits in your bellows pockets or arktis blizzard pattern B310 Spring and summer atacs FG , the old usmc green background ERDL , with slant pockets is my favorite , multicam in fields MC tropic is good except id like to find it in ripstop poplin , as my true spec set is heavy duty fabric, it will last but man its hot when your on the move with gear. Old Vietnam OD green jungle jacket always is a summer work shirt .
French lizard pattern seems to work the best on Brent's vids. If I had to default to a camo color pattern, earth tones seem to do well in almost any environment aside artic (and perhaps the blue ocean. Looking at you Navy).
South Florida is a real mix with city street, suburban vegetation, native vegetation, white sugar sand, and rich black soil. If I had to chose one Jack of all trades camo, Multitarn may have to be it. Flecktarn, Multicam Tropic, and Multicam can be perfect in select areas, so Multitarn seems the best compromise even if it doesn't excel for most areas.
I have come across some large chameleon lizards here in Volcano, Hawaii with amazing natural camo patterns (have pics) I wish could be adapted to a fabric pattern for clothing. Meantime, I have tiger stripe bdu for warm weather, and some phantomleaf pattern rain gear for cold wet weather which happens here up on the Volcano.
Great over view thanks! Quick thought if you want you could silence the velcro on the chest pockets and use just the button that way. Question is there any tie down loop stitched into the chest compass pocket as well?
I personally like multicam it works great all season in my East Tennessee terrain.multicam tropic works best in spring and summer but I don’t want to spend the extra money to build out another kit for spring and summer.maybe one day but that day definitely won’t be today..the classic M81 will forever be a great camo as well
I live in southern idaho where its mostly high plains/desert. Multicam arid or kryptek highlander work really well. But there are some forested areas south of my city that multicam tropic, m81 or greek lizard would work well in.
Mossy Oak obsession in the green months, Real Tree Ultra in the not green months. German Flecktarn for the crossover in woodsy areas, Swiss Apenflage & Belgian Jigsaw for runners up. PA/northeast...
I also live in the southeast and I agree to an extent. Yes multicam tropic is best in spring and summer but if it’s an area with taller trees then there will be a good environment for multicam year round. Most of the greens are not at ground level or six foot above. Even though I am 50 I play airsoft with my 10 and 12 year old boys and I find multicam to work great. I am also of course a concerned and well prepared citizen. I have been strongly considering the tropical top for summer.Also before anyone makes fun of airsoft I promise you it’s one of the best ways to work the bugs out of your gear. Yes you can patrol and do other things but in airsoft you are accessing your kit and constantly changing mags. I have not found a better way to shake out your gear and equipment.
I always liked o.d green like Canada's old bdu uniform and I like tiger stripe also I also like what you have on and are talking about I have family on both sides of the border I feel like the same thing needs to happen in Canada as you talked about in the book.god bless from Canada eh!!

Agreed.
Finnish m05 camo check it out. Comes in summer, winter, and extra winter.

@@tacituskilgore8379 Much the same for me as well .
Marpat and M81 are excellent camo patterns. The testing of Marpat was pretty thorough.
Taking ACU and dying it with black walnut makes it amazingly useful. By the way...I received my SHTF Field Manual. LOVE IT!!!
I Mix and Match Top and Bottom of various patterns. Along with Plain earth tone colors.
Same here. I wear an old M81 top with Crye MCT Combat Pants. it's a vibe.
MC Tropic top and M81 pants would probably look good in a temperate forest and transitions.
I just heard about the battle of Athens last year. What an incredible story.
I keep rewatching it, for that very reason!!🇺🇸
Check out the Battle of Blair Mountain also.
Multicam tropic is probably my favorite, it works great here in Michigan. I usually just buy OD green if I'm ordering a chest rig or something.
I just commented how well it works here in Indiana summer . Multicam works better in early spring and fall in Indiana . Czech vz 95 camo is pretty close to tropic cam
Check out finnish m05 camo, I'm northern MN and it's goat up here.
M81 and Mossy Oak Obsession work every time their worn. M81 is America's home jersey.
95 DPM smock is my first choice 🇬🇧
Flecktarn parker is my fashion statement 🇩🇪
Marpat Digital Woodland, Pencott Wildwood, Multicam Tropic, blaze orange, whatever you want.
Multicam tropic works really well for Florida 👍🏼 even rattle canned my rifle in the pattern.
I'm a sucker for a good tiger stripe, but M81 woodland is always a solid favorite as well.
Im a fan of solid colours, easy to add mud too to mix it up if needed. Im from the prairies.
Flectarn works well in the east coast around the Carolinas and is the best choice.
However, DCU is my favorite
In no particular order, in the pnw, marpat, cadpat, tiger stripe, and flecktarn work really well.
I live in the province of Quebec, CDN. It’s the boreal forest here. The 3 best camouflages that work here (and I have tested several): fairly equivalent for the three seasons are Flecktarn - Marpat -DPM British - M81. I salute you sir.

It turns multi cam green as well I did some peacock green
Remember that contrast in your pattern is necessary, and you can always dye darker, but lighter is nearly impossible.
I love Woodland mixed with OD.

I like a-tacks ix camo for north-central and north-east Texas. That’s what I run
M81 and tiger strip work good in alabama
I have come across some large chameleon lizards here in Volcano, Hawaii with amazing natural camo patterns (have pics) I wish could be adapted to a fabric pattern for clothing. Meantime, I have tiger stripe bdu for warm weather, and some phantomleaf pattern rain gear for cold wet weather which happens here up on the Volcano.
I like that camo. 👍✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It should be the area you are in.
Great over view thanks! Quick thought if you want you could silence the velcro on the chest pockets and use just the button that way. Question is there any tie down loop stitched into the chest compass pocket as well?
Been liking the M05 alot. 👍
I personally like multicam it works great all season in my East Tennessee terrain.multicam tropic works best in spring and summer but I don’t want to spend the extra money to build out another kit for spring and summer.maybe one day but that day definitely won’t be today..the classic M81 will forever be a great camo as well
I like it, it works 👍
I live in southern idaho where its mostly high plains/desert. Multicam arid or kryptek highlander work really well. But there are some forested areas south of my city that multicam tropic, m81 or greek lizard would work well in.
Mossy Oak obsession in the green months, Real Tree Ultra in the not green months. German Flecktarn for the crossover in woodsy areas, Swiss Apenflage & Belgian Jigsaw for runners up. PA/northeast...
I would like to see camo tests conducted on this pattern please
I also live in the southeast and I agree to an extent. Yes multicam tropic is best in spring and summer but if it’s an area with taller trees then there will be a good environment for multicam year round. Most of the greens are not at ground level or six foot above. Even though I am 50 I play airsoft with my 10 and 12 year old boys and I find multicam to work great. I am also of course a concerned and well prepared citizen. I have been strongly considering the tropical top for summer.Also before anyone makes fun of airsoft I promise you it’s one of the best ways to work the bugs out of your gear. Yes you can patrol and do other things but in airsoft you are accessing your kit and constantly changing mags. I have not found a better way to shake out your gear and equipment.
I always liked o.d green like Canada's old bdu uniform and I like tiger stripe also I also like what you have on and are talking about I have family on both sides of the border I feel like the same thing needs to happen in Canada as you talked about in the book.god bless from Canada eh!!
