    Excellent work man! Appreciate you doing all the leg work and showing the differences in effectiveness. Stay Frosty!

    To properly blend into the foliage, one must become the foliage...You sir, are becoming foliage. Nice work!

      Thanks Thad! We’ll have to have a shoot sometime when this stuff is over. Everyone should bring their gear and I’ll make a trail range for patrol!

    Thank you for the legwork and humility. Lots of surplus stuff out there that can be dyed. I would advise you to get that weapon painted, etc... Camo of any sort is given away when your weapon systems don't blend. Great job..thank you. KAG 2020

    OD greens and BDU's were great for vegetated areas. Probably the best in my opinion.

    I keep watching these dying videos. I keep coming to the conclusion that I spend quite a bit of time in the one biome where UCP kinda works. I just wish the dirt color of the UCP was a shade or two darker. The sage color seems to match sagebrush pretty well.

    Unpopular opinion… ACU is THE best for civilian use. Because it’s so light it can take any color dye to blend with anyone’s environment

    Your hat and ucp top get a good amount of light reflection that gives away a bit. Honestly i think your ucp pants did the best out of all the patterns. I think if you did your ucp top to match the slightly darker ucp pants it'd be perfect for that particular environment.

    Very interested in hearing what your recipe was for the Marine Desert dye. What colors (brands, Rit or other?) and how long you let it soak for.

  • @d.b.5070
    @d.b.5070 3 роки тому +3

    UCP, not ACU. Technically you could call it ACU, because it’s a UCP-ACU. But the OCP-ACU is still a ACU.

      Bro, workin on it.... you do you, I’m gonna do me....I’m not on here giving weight loss or heath tips, I’m talking about dying ACU, radio info, etc... while I fully agree with you and if you have seen my videos discussing me trying to get back in shape, you’d know I don’t advocate for being overweight or out of shape, sometimes life throws you lemons, but lemonade often takes a while to make.....thanks for your comment though I’m just glad people are watching my videos and subscribing. There’s a lot of like minded people out there and if we can help each other in any way, we’ll all be better for it....

      @@appalachiansurvivalist2080 One question though, can you please dye Desert Tricolor in brown or in dark brown with a pack? Sportsmans Guide has a Desert Tricolor assault pack, hydration carrier, and FLC and I want to know if dying it brown would make it blend in to surroundings similar to mine. Thanks

    OCP looked good, UCP sucked obv, and all the rest looked the same 😄 I think only adding foliage or ghillie elements would make a big difference.

    I have a question? Do you ruck or run in in your gear. Doing any amount of training in your gear makes it easier to wear later.

    • @appalachiansurvivalist2080
      @appalachiansurvivalist2080  4 роки тому +1

      Yes and no. Depending what you mean by gear. If your referring to the clothes. Yes. I use my plate carrier etc. for work and training as well, so I have set it up to the way I like it. I’m always looking to improve what and how things are though.

    all the cammo looks great. however you have a giant and highly observable BLCK RIFLE that completely destroys all cammo functionality. paint that thing. you might as well have a flashing neon sign saying "shoot here" with an arrow pointing at you.
