this color approximates the natural color of animals, which evolution has perfected over millions of years. its hard to beat that type of development. great videos.
I often wear a coyote brown windbreaker anorak with a medium green loop scarf and a sage green knitted hat and jungle green or brown pants turing wintertime... I found that I dent to disappear into the landscape quite well while most people don't think much of it because they do not see it as wearing camouflage. It looks quite civilian and does the job.
This camo pretty much works anywhere in any season. Surprisingly very effective in summer. No wonder the north Vietnamese army primary used this basically same color despite the dominatly green jungle like environment of Vietnam.
I don't know, for a human sized target and lighting conditions, Brent stood out pretty hard to me. Animals have a tendency of having broken shaped due to fur and all. If Prone, yeah, but upright, the camo stands out.
The primary and official PAVN uniform colour was green, which makes sense in lush jungles, although a variety of colours including khaki were also used. What surprise me more is why temperate nations standardised on green for camouflage, going back to dark green for 18th-19th century skirmishers up to the solid OD and green dominant patterns until Multicam became widespread in recent years. It seems like medium brown-grey would be more versatile for year around use to blend with soil and bark.
In some of these shots I'm like "that spot looks weird that has to be him" and sure enough you move from that spot. The thing is that the camo is that the light contrast makes you look like some sort of tree debris that doesn't have a definite shape like the OD made. If I was walking by I would think "what is that" but because I have seen many weird looking things in forests I would probably just move on. This camo also tended to seemingly cast its own shadows which breaks up the uniform coloring. Quite impressive for a one color camouflage.
I've heard of that, and it makes me wonder if CSA troops might have had some advantage over Union troops in terms of blending in to the terrain in the day. Movement is really what destroys the camo's effectiveness. Even the best camos can't help someone with that unless they are very far away or in a highly dense area where people are not actively looking for someone. Snipers barely make any movement and it can take days for them to travel around a combat zone because of the minute movements they make and the constant change of indigenous materials.
KH990j the CSA didn't really apply tactics that would see it taking too much advantage of that until later on in the war, which is also when they started to have uniform shortages. The Yanks marksmen units would wear green uniforms and non-reflective button at least.
Yup I stick to coyote in the spring to autumn and then lil buggers never know what hit them. Winter time I wear my tactical Snuggie and post up on my couch
It is amazing how effective that colour is! It looks amazingly similar to the British WW1 khaki uniforms, when they had been washed and had faded a little.
Thanks a lot for posting this, I have really been looking forward to this one. Coyote tan is without a doubt one of the best concealment colors out there, weather you are wearing it in the desert on the beach or in the woods you are practically a ghost, from 1:50 - 2:05 I thought you were a log. The thing that I like the most about one color combat fatigues is that they are effective a all distances they don't black blob like many camo patterns do. Sometime this spring or summer you should make a video on coyote tan's effectiveness in a green dominant environment. Keep up the great work I can't wait to see what else you have planned, and thank you for serving.
I honestly think CT is the best I have seen you do, it works well in both dead fall veggie and spring jungle veggie environments very well! It looks good on you too :)
Coyote tan kicks ass, in my opinion it's the most effective so far and dare I say it coyote out performs OD. I personally think the military should abandon camouflage altogether and just go back to solid color fatigues. For over a decade now they have wasted million's of dollar's trying to improve their camo and and so far every new pattern the have come up with has been ineffective. Camouflage actually has more disadvantages than advantages the colors and shapes of a camouflage pattern are more noticeable to the human eye than a solid background, and most patterns are only effective when stationary. Where as OD and coyote provide more camouflage to the wearer when both stationary and mobile this was shown to be true in WW II so why not go back to one Colorado fatigues. But thanks for uploading this one it's by far my favorite, I can't wait to see what else you have in store.
who would have thought Coyote Tan would do so well in both Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer...both videos were great.... and I think Coyote Tan is way under rated...
Coyote tan was extremely effective, I don't know why our military has wasted billions of dollars trying to improve our camo when 9 times out of 10 solid color earth tone uniforms provide more concealment to the wearer when both stationary and mobile.
AnthonyFreemont Well one reason why they do these things is so it can essentially work as a identification method Between an Allied force and OpFor. So they pretty much go the extra mile and say "hey if we're gonna try and make our uniforms identifiable then let's make it effective and unique"
Camo breaks the silhouette better than solid colors. The military has put time and testing to this they have reasons and uses for patterns. However take the ACU, it was rushed and changed from brushtroke to digital, then it wasn't approved by troops. It was fielded anyways, so yeah sometimes solid colors do better, but not always.
The color blends well - but I found that after the first segment, I was spotting you almost every time in just a second or two - even in the bright areas where the coyote totally blended with the color of the environment, the big blob of one color made you stand out - in many cases you looked like a big dry dirty rock - but that had you out of place surrounded by woody debris or grass - and even in the creek bottoms it didn't look "right" even though it blended well. I think that your attire would do very well against casual observations or people not actively looking for another person. A random hiker or passer by would likely not notice you at all, but it seems that someone actively searching for you would notice you right away. I think even a two or three color pattern to break up the monotony of the tan would conceal very well.
@@devinlindberg253 I came up with the same conclusion from watching all these test videos. One single camp pattern is much less effective than a few different ones together. Plus, the benefit of wearing a green top with brown pants is that if you need to ditch your gear, your outfit won’t look out of place in a civilian setting. Multicam helmet and plate carrier, with old green shirt and coyote brown pants would be my pick.
Out of all your scenes, I missed you in only four. I spotted you quickly in the other scenes. The straight lines of you legs, upper arms, or rounded back gave you away in all the other scenes. I'm convinced that multiple color camouflage schemes hide us better. During my basic training, a coupe drills sergeants talked against a backdrop similar to some of yours, but with a bit more green. They wore the standard winter weight woodland BDU. Their distance was 50 yards or so from me. All I saw were their Caucasian faces and hands. For me in Arizona, the current Army issue camouflage pattern (OCP) looks to be the best compromise for most areas, except in the areas with a lot of sage and green bushes; in those; I might go with with the Propper ACU during summer.
Goes to show you Nature got this camo right through thousands of years of evolution. Our tri color desert would have worked better with this main color instead of the lighter brown
I think it worked beautifully, several times I thought I had you picked out and then from another spot on the totally opposite side of the screen you would rise up and start walking, sometimes I would be fixed on a spot and you would show yourself and only be a few feet from where I thought you were, I couldn't see you until you moved.
I'm not shaming ANYTHING you do! But this was probably the easiest time I've had picking you out. Granted I WAS looking for you..and looking HARD! Thanks for all your hard work putting these videos together. It's really cool to see how this stuff that might LOOK COOL actually WORKS when applied to our desired application.
One collour and still pretty hard to spot. Our Olive green uniformen in the 80th had more or less the same effect. I still have a picture of me laying with the MAG in ambush in a field and though the picture is taken from nearby I'm rather hard to defect, even without foilage or other camo to break my outlines. Olive green was often in multiple shades because we could have a newer jacket combines with an old pair of trousers and an other shade of webbing so it was still nog one big blob of green in a field.
Coyote looks effective it's a bit like OD green it is quiet to the eyes so it does not atrackt your attention so much. As said the OD greens used to fade after a while which made them much more effective. Movement gives any camo away but as I see with the Flecktarn and DPM's etc, they show a very distinct dark shade, while the coyote are not atrackting that attention. Also when it rains all darker camo's become to dark being a black blur all the time coyote might suffert less of that effect. Wonder how this would work in a green environment, will you do a vid on that?
Coyote tan is the best solid color for multiple environment because tan color can be found virtually in every environments, the military research had shown that both desert and woodland have one common color, and that's tan. That's the reason why USMC used coyote tan for their PPE instead.
man, coyote is pretty damn good. You should do a summary or put in your 2 cents about it. I'd like to know more of your thoughts on some of the camo you'll be showing us in the future. Keep em coming!
Thanks man, I’d rather just present the pattern and let the viewer decide. These videos were meant to give the viewer an idea of how a particular pattern looks in a woodland environment. Occasionally people ask my thoughts via comments and I have no problem giving them in reply.
My ONLY problem with this color scheme, especially in quasi solid form, is ANYONE who's an experienced white tail or black tail deer hunter can spot it near instinctively. That was my issue when the Corps started issuing solid CB interceptors for the woodland MARPAT, I prefer my old M81 woodland interceptor over the MARPAT tbh
Yo Yo Yo! Love the vid's! IMHO, I thought that did a better job than the MARPAT Desert. It could have just been the time of day too. Still, very impressive! Thanks for the education and I look forward to future lessons! Have a STELLAR weekend!
Thanks man, Some desert patterns are effective in a woodland environment in the fall/winter but I really don’t think desert MARPAT is that great in this environment. It's hands down a superb desert pattern in the environment it was designed for (desert). Some desert patterns are effective in this fall/winter woodland environment and others aren’t. 6 color desert and desert tiger stripe are two that I think work very well here, however 3 color desert and desert MARPAT are patterns I think are exclusively desert patterns.
Good insight...What camouflage would you recommend for an environment which is in SC and very heavy with pine trees and not too much ground foliage besides pine straw and pricker bushes? Thanks...
Hmmm, not sure without exactly seeing it, but from what you described maybe a mismatched combo would suit you best. For instance coyote trousers and a woodland top.
Eric Jesperson Thanks bud. I'm happy with the number of views though. The people that watch my videos are generally like minded individuals that appreciate what I'm doing here.
Cayote tan is a great basic colour. The only downside is that the shape of a human body isn't disrupted. Maybe coyote with some darker brown pattern will work even better
Although new technology can and will spot you during day and night one thing is for certain learning how to spot not so fractal lines of an object blending in affair is a skill that needs to be practice. Very nice exercise and I spotted you blending real well. Thank you for your time and dedication on these exercises which are a live savor in times of chaos. Have you thought about doing videos of actual equipment that will hinder your body signature day and night for example FLIR, INFRA, equipment or body garments,..etc? Just a thought for a new project for you. Again thank you Bravo Zulu.
20 frames I got 15 im really bummed I thought I would be invisible in tat envi. man lol I just ordered whole suit guess ill go with the multi cam lol thanks brent
In my opinion, it bounces sunlight a little too much. I’m not sure if making it a shade darker would help or not. I’m just thinking about how deer disappear as soon as they walk into the brush.
Extremely helpful and very interesting. As for me I could find you until: 1. You moved, or 2. You made noise when you moved. A question if I may: can you disclose where and when the video was made? Just state and month. That would be extremely helpful. Lt. Dan
Id have to say ,that this color is amazingly effective in a dry environment thanks brent! I have also wondered about the effectiveness of a leopard pattern for dry environments...they are a natural predator ..get right up in the face of their prey..
I appreciate your movement you actually disappear while your moving but I see you 2-3, but 4 I didn’t see you, great job thanks for sharing really surprising visual I’m stuck khaki chayote desert dead brush
pretty impressive for a non-camo pattern, i'm thinking a tan base with dark brown stripes would be super effective in this setting, The japanese used tans uniforms in the war, maybe they were onto something,
Lol, and some folks laughed at me when I chose carhartt jacket and overpants for my "winter layering" in my bug out bag. After years in the "deer woods", if you haven't figured out that Carhartt hunters blend better than mossy oak hunters, it's because you can't tell what color the deer is.
@winstonS Yup, but, I'm more concerned with being eaten by wild animals while hunting than I am someone mistaking me for a deer because they can't see the bright, florescent orange vest you are required to wear while hunting. But, this topic isn't about hunting animals of any kind, is it?
The only problem would be that you would be sticking out like a sore thumb in night operations with even cheap and older night vision equipment. Coyote tan is excellent for daytime. But is horrible during the night. Even the UCP out performed coyote tan in NIR visual tests.
You should make the screen blank but keep the sound on when you move, then when youre in position, put the video back up. Then we can see how effective the cammo actually is. Because if you move like that, you will be seen easily no matter what camo your wearing.
Each scene starts out with me in a stationary position. The purpose of my patrolling out is so the individual watching can see what the pattern looks like on the move.
@@Brent0331there actually is a few different variants different companies are calling different shades coyote as a blanket statement when there is a few different shades ,
It is most definitely confusing I'm ex British inf , and love my coyote gear mainly for the quality of the gear but like to not wear full camo these days when hiking / camping ect , arktis and helikon tex both call there gear coyote but it's very different in the flesh lol , some companies called tan coyote and vice versa lol try before you buy is best , I prefer coyote brown or the shade you u.s marines use on all your gear ,
Does anyone know where I can find solid "coyote brown" that's more like the brown in Woodland Marpat's brown. Any solid brown I can find is too much a sand color or is "chocolate brown" which may as well be black it is so dark.
Thanks a lot. ! I have even sent pics into rit dye trying to describe what I want, and they just seem incapable of understanding, I only mean the brown part. I like your screen name as well. ;)
Mark Stuber No problem. The SA attitude is brown year-round, and that a couple of days of rolling around in the terrain of the season and getting dirty will make the camouflage fit the environment. It's kind of dark when new, but fades into a nice medium brown. It's cheaper than a new set of BDU's if you look hard enough for it.
Coyote tan in this video is awesome. Can you do it in a green environment? Same for chocolate chip? And with a very minimum of veg techniques. I love the elastic band ideas.
Can’t say that’s in the near future UT, those kryptek patterns are still really expensive and I can more diligently allocate that money to ammo :). I still have a lot of misc. patterns to occupy my time right now. Maybe once I get through all of them I’ll break down and buys some. I just finished East German rain pattern & British desert DPM yesterday, I’m thinking about doing Alpenflage and 3 color desert but not sure how well those two will actually preform. In the spring I want to do ATACS FG, Flecktarn, CADPAT, & DPM.
Have you ever tested solid black? Snipers have been saying black is an unnatural color for years, but I'd like to see how it does in summer foliage. Gray would be another one. Or A-TACS LE.
snakemonkey555 I'm on the same situation as you, pal. Brent used some 5.11 pants on the video, so I guess those are ok. As for the shirt, I'm eyeing for a Tru-Spec shirt.
this color approximates the natural color of animals, which evolution has perfected over millions of years. its hard to beat that type of development. great videos.
Here in SoCal Coyote Tan works great with the dead grass in the canyons. Thanks for posting.
I can see that, I was stationed at Pendleton for 4 yrs so I’m pretty familiar with the area.
Thanks for your service brother! I'm a old navy AO2. Was stationed a NAS Miramar back in the day.
***** Good deal brother, thanks for YOUR service.
I love that you carrying the M1A. Great job as always Mann.
Hell yeah, thanks brother.
They should make a split pattern of just OD and Coyote. I think it would work well. Just have offset colors on the kit.
Try to mix that colors. Like coyote tan pants and green shirt or coyote gear on OD green. It does the job.
I think coyote tan pants and an adaptive green top would be perfect.
I often wear a coyote brown windbreaker anorak with a medium green loop scarf and a sage green knitted hat and jungle green or brown pants turing wintertime... I found that I dent to disappear into the landscape quite well while most people don't think much of it because they do not see it as wearing camouflage. It looks quite civilian and does the job.
This camo pretty much works anywhere in any season. Surprisingly very effective in summer. No wonder the north Vietnamese army primary used this basically same color despite the dominatly green jungle like environment of Vietnam.
I don't know, for a human sized target and lighting conditions, Brent stood out pretty hard to me. Animals have a tendency of having broken shaped due to fur and all. If Prone, yeah, but upright, the camo stands out.
@@mtumeumrani376 Name a pattern that wont stand out when you are upright and this close to camera. His face isnt even covered either.
The primary and official PAVN uniform colour was green, which makes sense in lush jungles, although a variety of colours including khaki were also used. What surprise me more is why temperate nations standardised on green for camouflage, going back to dark green for 18th-19th century skirmishers up to the solid OD and green dominant patterns until Multicam became widespread in recent years. It seems like medium brown-grey would be more versatile for year around use to blend with soil and bark.

During quarantine these videos are what keeps my eyes sharp. Try to spot the Marine in the woods.

Winter is like this half the time in Illinois, one day it's -10 blizzard, the next it's 70 and sunny

another great vid brent
I STILL NEED THERMAL! Can't never see anything till it's too late.

chad coyote vs virgin od
Best camo ever made (in my opinion) is the old Austrian Urbsenmuster camo. ASAT had the right idea till they added black to it.

Awesome vid man!
What kind of chest rig or plate carrier do you wear?:)
Cayote tan is a great basic colour. The only downside is that the shape of a human body isn't disrupted. Maybe coyote with some darker brown pattern will work even better
Coyote tan is my favorite.
This video is so much fun when you're bored...
Although new technology can and will spot you during day and night one thing is for certain learning how to spot not so fractal lines of an object blending in affair is a skill that needs to be practice. Very nice exercise and I spotted you blending real well. Thank you for your time and dedication on these exercises which are a live savor in times of chaos. Have you thought about doing videos of actual equipment that will hinder your body signature day and night for example FLIR, INFRA, equipment or body garments,..etc? Just a thought for a new project for you. Again thank you Bravo Zulu.
20 frames I got 15 im really bummed I thought I would be invisible in tat envi. man lol I just ordered whole suit guess ill go with the multi cam lol thanks brent
I Love coyote brown👍🏿
In my opinion, it bounces sunlight a little too much. I’m not sure if making it a shade darker would help or not. I’m just thinking about how deer disappear as soon as they walk into the brush.
It worked well, almost like Multicam.
Extremely helpful and very interesting. As for me I could find you until:
1. You moved, or
2. You made noise when you moved.
A question if I may: can you disclose where and when the video was made? Just state and month. That would be extremely helpful.

Thanks, this video was filed in North Texas Feb 2014.
Id have to say ,that this color is amazingly effective in a dry environment thanks brent!
I have also wondered about the effectiveness of a leopard pattern for dry environments...they are a natural predator ..get right up in the face of their prey..
leeking007 Thanks
I appreciate your movement you actually disappear while your moving but I see you 2-3, but 4 I didn’t see you, great job thanks for sharing really surprising visual I’m stuck khaki chayote desert dead brush
the shadow effect of od green works as well.
Awesome channel. Have you considered making an SADF nutria brown video?
I also think having a coyote mask/head cover would had helped a lot with concealment
I would love to see a video of you testing Coyote tan in Summer
I’ve thought about it, but its not currently in my line up. I have several other patterns ahead of it to do but maybe one day.
pretty impressive for a non-camo pattern,
i'm thinking a tan base with dark brown stripes would be super effective in this setting, The japanese used tans uniforms in the war, maybe they were onto something,
Desert Tiger Stripe Effectiveness
lol ... ok missed that video
Lol no problem, when I read what you were describing it sounded exactly like desert tiger.
I appreciate the videos.
Tango Delta 2 Thanks
It dominant color works but I was able to point him out every single time before he moved. Not enough dark variation to break up the shape
thanks for these videos!
Thanks for watching.
Lol, and some folks laughed at me when I chose carhartt jacket and overpants for my "winter layering" in my bug out bag. After years in the "deer woods", if you haven't figured out that Carhartt hunters blend better than mossy oak hunters, it's because you can't tell what color the deer is.
@winstonS Yup, but, I'm more concerned with being eaten by wild animals while hunting than I am someone mistaking me for a deer because they can't see the bright, florescent orange vest you are required to wear while hunting. But, this topic isn't about hunting animals of any kind, is it?
The only problem would be that you would be sticking out like a sore thumb in night operations with even cheap and older night vision equipment.
Coyote tan is excellent for daytime. But is horrible during the night.
Even the UCP out performed coyote tan in NIR visual tests.
Nigh invisible in many cases
You should make the screen blank but keep the sound on when you move, then when youre in position, put the video back up. Then we can see how effective the cammo actually is. Because if you move like that, you will be seen easily no matter what camo your wearing.
Each scene starts out with me in a stationary position. The purpose of my patrolling out is so the individual watching can see what the pattern looks like on the move.
Is this coyote brown or tan 499? I'm very confused by Coyote Tan
Same shit
@@Brent0331 thanks for the quick reply
@@Trgn np
@@Brent0331there actually is a few different variants different companies are calling different shades coyote as a blanket statement when there is a few different shades ,
It is most definitely confusing I'm ex British inf , and love my coyote gear mainly for the quality of the gear but like to not wear full camo these days when hiking / camping ect , arktis and helikon tex both call there gear coyote but it's very different in the flesh lol , some companies called tan coyote and vice versa lol try before you buy is best , I prefer coyote brown or the shade you u.s marines use on all your gear ,
Does anyone know where I can find solid "coyote brown" that's more like the brown in Woodland Marpat's brown. Any solid brown I can find is too much a sand color or is "chocolate brown" which may as well be black it is so dark.
Mark Stuber Yes. South African Nutria Brown stuff is just that. You can get it all over eBay for cheap, and it's good kit, too.
Thanks a lot. ! I have even sent pics into rit dye trying to describe what I want, and they just seem incapable of understanding, I only mean the brown part.
I like your screen name as well. ;)
Mark Stuber No problem. The SA attitude is brown year-round, and that a couple of days of rolling around in the terrain of the season and getting dirty will make the camouflage fit the environment. It's kind of dark when new, but fades into a nice medium brown. It's cheaper than a new set of BDU's if you look hard enough for it.
Mark Stuber Use "SADF" when looking for it. That's the name of their army.
Coyote tan in this video is awesome. Can you do it in a green environment? Same for chocolate chip? And with a very minimum of veg techniques. I love the elastic band ideas.
Love me some coyote tan. One of my fav colors. Any plan on making some kryptek vids B?
Can’t say that’s in the near future UT, those kryptek patterns are still really expensive and I can more diligently allocate that money to ammo :). I still have a lot of misc. patterns to occupy my time right now. Maybe once I get through all of them I’ll break down and buys some. I just finished East German rain pattern & British desert DPM yesterday, I’m thinking about doing Alpenflage and 3 color desert but not sure how well those two will actually preform. In the spring I want to do ATACS FG, Flecktarn, CADPAT, & DPM.
I know right? I want a set of Mandrake, look at the price tag and then say "I think my mandrake cap made by Condor will do for now..." LOL!
I saw the price at Cabelas for a set and was blown away, for that price it better be the damn light bending camouflage the predator uses!
/\ I KNOW! I said the same thing. LOL!!!
Say Brent, liked this video. I was checking out Coyote Tan out myself today, you cemented my opinion. Thanks! "Gary Owen"
Glad I could help.
I love this camo :)
Have you ever tested solid black? Snipers have been saying black is an unnatural color for years, but I'd like to see how it does in summer foliage. Gray would be another one. Or A-TACS LE.
Great video. Can you recommend a reputable seller of coyote brown gear? It's hard to find coyote brown gear online, pickins are slim. Thanks.
+snakemonkey555 Should be plenty of Coyote gear out there, its standard issue for the United States Marine Corps. Are you shopping online?
+Brent0331 Yes I am.
+snakemonkey555 Check out Amazon... there's a lot of coyote brown and tan gear available.
snakemonkey555 I'm on the same situation as you, pal. Brent used some 5.11 pants on the video, so I guess those are ok. As for the shirt, I'm eyeing for a Tru-Spec shirt.
i like coyote but i think 6 color desert may be more effective in all cases
Cayote tan is always a go to sometimes mixpat isn’t always the most effective
I’m new to all this, is it weird to wear different color schemes? Like a coyote carrier then multicam pants and shirt?
Very nice vid! Coyote Tan is suprisingly effective camo. Do you plan to make ASAT video as well?
Thanks bud, I don’t currently have any ASAT to test at this time.
please show us swedish m90 (camo) Effectiveness
It just does not break up your outline enough to hide in plain sight. I keep catching your shape.
You should try out nutria brown SADF camo.
