Great video. I remember the longer we stayed in the field my sense of smell would get so turned up. I once was talking to another platoon leader and realizing there was something different about him; I realize after being in the woods for nine days straight, in 90+ degree heat without showers, I could smell he had just returned from the barracks and that he had snuck a shower. He smelled clean from feet away. Also like you said once on patrol my platoon located an OPFOR position because they were smoking.
Old story from Vietnam War that the VC could smell Americans because Americans smelled like butter from all the dairy Americans eat. Dont know howntrue that is but that's what I was told.
@@ms.annthrope415 Just like westerners can identify a distinct smell from indians, east asians, blacks and arabs, they can identify white people by the smell. I've had an east asian telling me how the first thing they noticed of my country was the cheese smell at the airport, right after landing.
The stories of smelling the enemy are not stories, this includes tobacco and alcohol, both of which are foreign odors in nature. p.s. Don't dry you cammies with dryer sheets either ( - :
The food you eat will give you away too. My Uncle told me when he was a LRRP in Nam he'd eat fish, rice and other food the natives ate a few days before going on a mission if possible. When you sweat you smell of the food you ate. Captured NVA & VC said they smelled our men by the food they many times
I absolutely love these infantrymen’s guides! I learn so much information that I otherwise wouldn’t have even considered. Excellent video as always, Keep up the good work!
Your videos are getting tighter, denser and more scripted. I like it. Please keep up the good work. It makes me feel like I'm getting 90% of the *useful* military training in 5% of the time at 0 cost. Not to mention saving joints from 10+ mile patrols wearing 90 lbs of gear.
I'm only an airsofter but I've learned some useful tips from these types of videos. If I'm not using my ghillie suit in game, I always carry a few rubber bands with me, they can be put on your arms and you can stuff vegitation into them, helping break up the shape of the shoulders. That and some vegitation on your head and rifle is a great makeshift ghillie. I'm in the process of making a ghillie net I can roll up and keep in a pouch, then it can be unrolled and I can go prone underneath it, to help mask my position. Great content, Bren
Awesome pros and (the many) cons. The one thing I learned young was that failure is not an option; but, it is a damned fine teacher. Doing something wrong (and living through it and not getting anyone else dispatched) teaches you at least two things. One, what not to do. Two, what to do right. And, in my case, three, having enough gained training to train someone else. Well done my friend! Old dogs can learn new tricks! Thank you.
2 things, "A walking Blackhawk catalog". Besides being funny as hell is also absolutely true. I have seen some guys that think if they have some free PALS webbing, they feel the need to attach a pouch. If you attach a pouch, you're going to put shit in it. Keep your kit slim and trim without compromising ammo loadout and other critical items. The ass n balls comment is absolutely spot on. I think it was Ivory soap we used back in the day that had no scent/odor to it. If you use baby wipes to 3 spot yourself, use unscented baby wipes. Another great video. Keep em coming. This is good training and good tactical intel.
As an IDF soldier in the past, and still in reserve active duty. That was almost exactly the stuff we learned at training. Some adds: People chose the first magazine they will use, covered it with foam and camo fabric. this way its not making noise if the magazine hit stuff like rocks or while you climb things and the weapon dangle around and hit things.
@@Brent0331 I'd like these question's answered thoroughly by ya & your buddies as soon as possible please! Isn't there any way 2 go with mish mash (mixture) of ERDL M81 Woodland Camouflage Clothing Accessories & all of the different matching/working solid color clothing accessories as well as how many/much matching/working solid color clothing accessories: sand, brown, green (Olive Drab/Solution Dyed Ranger Green) and black 4 ERDL M81 Woodland Outfit/Uniform 2 blend in the wilderness during all seasons? Isn't there any way 2 go with mish mash (mixture) of A-TACS IX (Tiger Stripe) Clothing Accessories & all of the different matching/working solid color clothing accessories as well as how many/much matching/working solid color clothing accessories: sand, brown, green (Olive Drab/Solution Dyed Ranger Green) and black 4 A-TACS IX (Tiger Stripe) Outfit/Uniform 2 blend in the wilderness during all seasons and still keep it (A-TACS IX) a little bit more universal? Just how many/much Grayish/Greyish Universal Camouflage Pattern Clothing Accessories as well as matching/working Solid Color Clothing Accessories: Black, Green (Olive Drab/Solution Dyed Ranger Green), Gray/Grey (Foliage/Urban/Wolf) and Coyote (Brown/Tan)/Sand 2 wear with full matching Grayish/Greyish Universal Camouflage Pattern outfit/uniform 4 complete/perfect effective concealment in cities/urban environments?
I miss this shit. Thankfully, since COVID-related societal attitude adjustments, circles of friends and acquaintances (living in oblivious comfort) have been approaching me more about ... things. And it is absolutely exciting and motivating to have blossoming interest and an audience to teach this craft. Brent, you do a fantastic job putting it in video format. It helps keep the attention of the younger types.
Great video. If your uniform has pockets on the arms and legs, you can stuff natural materials like twigs or grass there. If you put long grass in the upper pockets on your arms, they can partially cover your head. Also it's good to jump up and down couple of times before you go out, so you can hear and eliminate any metal-on-metal rattle of your gear.
I believe their is also a 3rd option for camouflaging the face. A face viel. Now, a lot of units don’t allow it, but during some experimental operations we found that the face viel made of a mesh cloth painted in any pattern does well and doesn’t necessarily cut off your vision as much as you think and it was very effective when I’ve used it.
I have to say, this is my favorite method for hunting. I can't stand faceshields or masks that cut off my breathing, but a veil is very unobtrusive and works well. You can also sew them onto any standard baseball cap easily. I'm sure there are a lot of reasons why they're not used in the field, but for hunting, they're really comfy and effective.
Una vez mas un excelente trabajo, y muy buena aportacion, el idioma es un poco complicado, pero, poco a poco voy comprendiendo, los veo una y otra vez, y asi voy aprendiendo.
I am Subscribed! Everything else on UA-cam is a bunch of Shenanigans. This right here here is very edifying, especially to myself a Son of a Marine that was Med DQ'd from enlistment and missed out on Boot Camp. I still wish to serve and protect my Country if the day comes where I am needed. Thank you, Sir. SEMPER FIDELIS. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Tactical skinny Jean's? WTF!?! I didn't know there was such a thing. Great video! In my opinion you made a video here of such good quality it could be used at the infantry training school. AATW! Infantry leads the way! 👍👍
No crap, I got shoved to be a 11 now that I’m in wpns it’s hard to find another 11, so I have to learn from vids like this and go on my gut. So far this is the best video out there, just solid work. Keep these vids rolling
You undeniably have the best information for the basics of infantry warfare and camouflage I've been watching you since I was a kid and I'm glad to see you're still making videos
Excellent video! Brent you absolutely do cammoflage better than anyone else on UA-cam! After watching your cammoflage effectiveness videos in the past. I bought a bunch of Multicam, MARPAT Woodland, and desert, and the Navy's new Digital Woodland! They all fit into every environment and season in the North American woods! I use them for hunting and camping. I must say that from everything I've bought. Multicam is definitely my favorite! Thank you for all the great information and knowledge you share!!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for this series. Once we start going back to drill I will probably send these out to my new platoon just to prepare them to some basic concepts and hopefully reduce training time. Apparently camouflage and some basic patrol concepts are not taught as basic training anymore, even to combat engineers (heck they don't teach iron sights anymore and shoot with an M68). Some of us old guys that were in before 9/11 have a leg up when preparing for near-peer conflicts.
@@Brent0331 we did a joint training with the national guard, active duty, Marines, SF, all sorts of stuff. The BN we were with told us we had to walk around in full kit all the time because we could have "enemy air assault" at anytime. They also made us sleep in GP mediums on the edge of a field instead of in our fighting positions like we planned. I was working as a range safety a few years ago and some kid was having a terrible time zeroing. I was trying to coach him and after about 20 rounds he told me he had never fired with iron sights before and had nonidea how to do it. I didn't know what to say.
I remember doing a counter recon position and I smelled a cigarette. I flipped my nods down and sure enough a squad was down the hill. I didn't hear them because of the wind but I sure could smell that cigarette blowing right up to our position. Great, spot on video BTW.
We as tankers learned about camo and smoking along with light at night with live examples and we also had to camo our steel pot helmets which also served as your shaving washing sink
Great presentation! I wouldn't be surprised if years down the road these will be used on both recruit depots as a compliment for their appropriate Field Manuals. I can only imagine if your Hat came across your material, a smile would definitely come to his face as you continue to represent your brother's in arms and the Corps with excellence!
Thanks brother. They actually don't cover much infantry related material in recruit training. Most of that is taught at SOI. I designed these videos specifically for junior Marines/Soldiers and NCOs.
A couple of tips: try to keep your camo pattern as consistent as possible,this includes your face,the more you camo matches over your entire body the harder it is to see you. The brim of your boonie hat and helmet create a shadow that is easily distinguishable from the rest of you,your boonie hat brim should be trimmed back as far as possible to less'n that shadow. The helmet should have a camo cover that over-laps the edges and should be cut in an irregular pattern (all the way around)and not straight across the brim,back and sides. Additional tip: the cotton poly blend fabric can be waterproofed for a extended period of time by rubbing a non-scented candle into the fabric and melting with a hairdryer or worst case a camp fire. The fabric does become slightly stiffer and may increase heat retention,to avoid this just apply to the neck,upper back and shoulder area as well as your boonie hat and helmet cover.
You should do a video about night vision when to use it, how it should be stored when not in use, types of NODs useful in different situations, what to expect when using NODs, different applications for Night Vision, and personal reccomendations.
You're not kidding about the effectiveness of a camouflaged weapon. I remember hunting with my father one time when he had just covered his rifle in camo tape. At the end of the day, he had left his spot to come find me so we could go back to the lodge. I saw him from a long way off, but didn't see his rifle. The whole time, I watched him and wondered what he had done with his rifle. He was almost within speaking distance and I almost asked him "Where's your rifle?" when I finally saw that he was carrying it like usual. I couldn't see the rifle for the life of me with that camo pattern on it!
Awesome, informative videos. I appreciate that you're not high-speed, shooting range style. But field op and movement. People often forget that the world isnt like a shooting range.
First of all thank you for your service and also for sharing all this knowledge in such a no nonsense manner. I'd love to see a cold wet dogshit weather gear video. Tempurate winter conditions with rain etc. Cold and miserable. Thanks again!
I will be downloading this asap. I'm afraid this info will be very helpful in the not to distant future. That aside, man Brent you're like Marine Force Recon out there man!!
That's the thing brother, the stuff I'm showing here is nothing high speed. All this should be what basic Infantryman Marines/Soldiers should be doing. Nothing special about proper camouflage, it's something every grunt should do.

Thanks for this quality and valuable information. It will save lives in the future!
What camelback would you recommend for one shepherd? Thank you for your time.
Also, I'm having trouble wearing my ALICE pack and LC-2 web gear together, could you make a short video on how to do so? Thank you agine!

"I'm glad you noticed, sir."

Great video. I remember the longer we stayed in the field my sense of smell would get so turned up. I once was talking to another platoon leader and realizing there was something different about him; I realize after being in the woods for nine days straight, in 90+ degree heat without showers, I could smell he had just returned from the barracks and that he had snuck a shower. He smelled clean from feet away. Also like you said once on patrol my platoon located an OPFOR position because they were smoking.
Awesome, thanks for watching and commenting brother.
I expected crotch rot to be referenced or mentioned.
Old story from Vietnam War that the VC could smell Americans because Americans smelled like butter from all the dairy Americans eat. Dont know howntrue that is but that's what I was told.
@@ms.annthrope415 Just like westerners can identify a distinct smell from indians, east asians, blacks and arabs, they can identify white people by the smell. I've had an east asian telling me how the first thing they noticed of my country was the cheese smell at the airport, right after landing.
Class is in session!
You have a few cameo's in this one!
Brent0331 I noticed, you and I know that but my camo was so effective that no one would notice me 😂
@@Santiago308 Ha
Everything he discussed here was in my units yearly training cycle. I trained with the USMC, but I didn’t know we were that close.
The stories of smelling the enemy are not stories, this includes tobacco and alcohol, both of which are foreign odors in nature.
p.s. Don't dry you cammies with dryer sheets either ( - :
Yup.
So after washing leave to air dry. Got it. Thanks as I was just about to wash them and I didnt want to ruin them.
The food you eat will give you away too. My Uncle told me when he was a LRRP in Nam he'd eat fish, rice and other food the natives ate a few days before going on a mission if possible. When you sweat you smell of the food you ate. Captured NVA & VC said they smelled our men by the food they many times
@@ReckerFidelWOLF Don't wash your clothes with modern detergents. They have color and uv brighteners in the soap.
@@richstone2627 Can you get rid of this effect?
I absolutely love these infantrymen’s guides! I learn so much information that I otherwise wouldn’t have even considered. Excellent video as always, Keep up the good work!
Thanks brother.
I didn’t see what you did there.
Ha
lol
That is a good combination of funny words
Hello my fellow AK member
I see what you did there! 🫵
Your videos are getting tighter, denser and more scripted. I like it. Please keep up the good work.
It makes me feel like I'm getting 90% of the *useful* military training in 5% of the time at 0 cost. Not to mention saving joints from 10+ mile patrols wearing 90 lbs of gear.
Thanks brother.
I'm leaving for Benning for 22 weeks , wish me luck Brent
America is proud to see you continue the tradition of military service train hard pay attention to your instructors and you will do well.
Good luck Brother you’ll do fine.
Harmony Church, enjoy the heat. Sand Hill air condition
Good luck Gavin.

Outstanding! 🎯
Yes sir
Thanks brother.
Both of you guys are outstanding... My Sniper mentor and Grunt mentor. Teaching me great things. Epstein didnt kill himself.

Best military videos on UA-cam!!!
Thanks
Nate= Yupper!
Yep. Good stuff
I'm only an airsofter but I've learned some useful tips from these types of videos. If I'm not using my ghillie suit in game, I always carry a few rubber bands with me, they can be put on your arms and you can stuff vegitation into them, helping break up the shape of the shoulders. That and some vegitation on your head and rifle is a great makeshift ghillie. I'm in the process of making a ghillie net I can roll up and keep in a pouch, then it can be unrolled and I can go prone underneath it, to help mask my position.
Great content, Bren
Thanks
This video is timely.
Time for the American people to larp and do absolutely nothing.
Brent is out there again dropping knowledge bombs. Good stuff, Gunny, we appreciate your hard work. Semper Fi, Devil Dog.
Thanks brother, just FYI I'm actually a 1stSgt now. Thanks for watching. S/F
@@Brent0331 Thanks for the help Top, 11B Hooah's.
"The more you look like a blackhawk catalogue..." I laughed pretty hard, thats an NCO right there.
Awesome pros and (the many) cons. The one thing I learned young was that failure is not an option; but, it is a damned fine teacher. Doing something wrong (and living through it and not getting anyone else dispatched) teaches you at least two things. One, what not to do. Two, what to do right. And, in my case, three, having enough gained training to train someone else. Well done my friend! Old dogs can learn new tricks! Thank you.
2 things, "A walking Blackhawk catalog". Besides being funny as hell is also absolutely true. I have seen some guys that think if they have some free PALS webbing, they feel the need to attach a pouch. If you attach a pouch, you're going to put shit in it. Keep your kit slim and trim without compromising ammo loadout and other critical items. The ass n balls comment is absolutely spot on. I think it was Ivory soap we used back in the day that had no scent/odor to it. If you use baby wipes to 3 spot yourself, use unscented baby wipes. Another great video. Keep em coming. This is good training and good tactical intel.
Ha, thanks for watching and commenting.
As an IDF soldier in the past, and still in reserve active duty.
That was almost exactly the stuff we learned at training.
Some adds:
People chose the first magazine they will use, covered it with foam and camo fabric.
this way its not making noise if the magazine hit stuff like rocks or while you climb things and the weapon dangle around and hit things.
Thanks for watching and commenting brother.

Outstanding work, Grunt. Rock on.
Thanks.
Just an honest 11B's opinion.
I've watched these videos a thousand times and I'll watch them a thousand more.
Thanks brother.
Same man.
This is the channel I needed, no others have such clear and well made instructional videos. thanks and keep up the great work
I miss this shit. Thankfully, since COVID-related societal attitude adjustments, circles of friends and acquaintances (living in oblivious comfort) have been approaching me more about ... things. And it is absolutely exciting and motivating to have blossoming interest and an audience to teach this craft. Brent, you do a fantastic job putting it in video format. It helps keep the attention of the younger types.
Thanks brother.
Great video. If your uniform has pockets on the arms and legs, you can stuff natural materials like twigs or grass there. If you put long grass in the upper pockets on your arms, they can partially cover your head. Also it's good to jump up and down couple of times before you go out, so you can hear and eliminate any metal-on-metal rattle of your gear.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Excellent. Excellent. This is one of the best guides to basic field craft and personal camouflage I have seen. Great job ! Greetings from Australia.
07:55 Camo skinny jeans are standard issue for the Gaystapo!
Im guessing theyre antifa standard issue
Mexican military uses really tight camo pants haha
If you're going to wear skinny BDU's you have to carry a double .308 bandoleer hugging the wall waiting for the call
I believe their is also a 3rd option for camouflaging the face. A face viel. Now, a lot of units don’t allow it, but during some experimental operations we found that the face viel made of a mesh cloth painted in any pattern does well and doesn’t necessarily cut off your vision as much as you think and it was very effective when I’ve used it.
I have to say, this is my favorite method for hunting. I can't stand faceshields or masks that cut off my breathing, but a veil is very unobtrusive and works well. You can also sew them onto any standard baseball cap easily. I'm sure there are a lot of reasons why they're not used in the field, but for hunting, they're really comfy and effective.
Can you stand having that on and over your face for entire days at a time?
Finally someone competently and without BS teaching basics to interested observers. Thanks
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Me listening to this training brings allot of memories back. Your a true grunt brother!
Una vez mas un excelente trabajo, y muy buena aportacion, el idioma es un poco complicado, pero, poco a poco voy comprendiendo, los veo una y otra vez, y asi voy aprendiendo.
I am Subscribed! Everything else on UA-cam is a bunch of Shenanigans. This right here here is very edifying, especially to myself a Son of a Marine that was Med DQ'd from enlistment and missed out on Boot Camp.
I still wish to serve and protect my Country if the day comes where I am needed.
Thank you, Sir.
SEMPER FIDELIS.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for watching brother.
Thank you for your hard work and attention to detail in your videos! God bless you, sir!
Thanks
Tactical skinny Jean's? WTF!?! I didn't know there was such a thing.
Great video! In my opinion you made a video here of such good quality it could be used at the infantry training school.
AATW!
Infantry leads the way!
👍👍
Thanks brother.
Nah, they exist. The Dutch DSI makes it work.
Delta Papa you spelled Rangers lead the way wrong.
@@VictoryOrValhalla14 back when I got my blue rope it was Infantry👍
@@north7764 wearing regular jeans during standby, and then being called up, walking around in bdu's all day is more inapropriate imho
What a beautiful compilation of nature and scenic locations
No crap, I got shoved to be a 11 now that I’m in wpns it’s hard to find another 11, so I have to learn from vids like this and go on my gut. So far this is the best video out there, just solid work. Keep these vids rolling
You undeniably have the best information for the basics of infantry warfare and camouflage I've been watching you since I was a kid and I'm glad to see you're still making videos
I always liked the Americans, always positive and solid. Very good video, Brent 0331! Keep up the good work :) Kind regards from Norway!
Excellent video! Brent you absolutely do cammoflage better than anyone else on UA-cam! After watching your cammoflage effectiveness videos in the past. I bought a bunch of Multicam, MARPAT Woodland, and desert, and the Navy's new Digital Woodland! They all fit into every environment and season in the North American woods! I use them for hunting and camping. I must say that from everything I've bought. Multicam is definitely my favorite! Thank you for all the great information and knowledge you share!!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks brother, glad I could help.
This Channel aging very well like fine wine. Thank you for always giving folks the proper infors. Saving alots of Moneys and lives.
Much appreciated!
Everything you discuss here was in my units yearly training cycle. I trained with the USMC, but I didn’t know we were that close.
Thanks. This guide helped me a lot. I've decided not to be visible anymore and this guide will help me do just that.
Awesome stuff!!! Keep the great info coming!!!
Thanks! Will do!
Well said Brent, brings back many memories (1970s Ranger)
Semper Fi
Thanks brother.
I don't know what I did right this week to find your channel, but here, have a sub.
Welcome aboard!
Thanks for this series. Once we start going back to drill I will probably send these out to my new platoon just to prepare them to some basic concepts and hopefully reduce training time. Apparently camouflage and some basic patrol concepts are not taught as basic training anymore, even to combat engineers (heck they don't teach iron sights anymore and shoot with an M68). Some of us old guys that were in before 9/11 have a leg up when preparing for near-peer conflicts.
Awesome brother. Yup couldn't agree more on the near peer threat. We need to get back to preparing for it.
@@Brent0331 we did a joint training with the national guard, active duty, Marines, SF, all sorts of stuff. The BN we were with told us we had to walk around in full kit all the time because we could have "enemy air assault" at anytime. They also made us sleep in GP mediums on the edge of a field instead of in our fighting positions like we planned.
I was working as a range safety a few years ago and some kid was having a terrible time zeroing. I was trying to coach him and after about 20 rounds he told me he had never fired with iron sights before and had nonidea how to do it. I didn't know what to say.
I appreciate your content. You’re the man!
Thanks brother.
I remember doing a counter recon position and I smelled a cigarette. I flipped my nods down and sure enough a squad was down the hill. I didn't hear them because of the wind but I sure could smell that cigarette blowing right up to our position. Great, spot on video BTW.
Nice, thanks for sharing.
These are some of the best put together videos around. Love your content man semper fi
Thanks brother. S/F
This series is so good.
We as tankers learned about camo and smoking along with light at night with live examples and we also had to camo our steel pot helmets which also served as your shaving washing sink
You should do more videos about camouflage
They are really cool
he has a ton of pattern reviews!
Look at his back catalog. It will blow your mind and train you to spot irregularities in the bush.
Check out his OPFOR videos, they are amazing.
I have a camouflage effectiveness playlist.
This video really helped me to give a period of instruction to my junior marines. thank you and SEMPER FI!!!!!!!
no drama music, no bs. only straight to the point.
Thanks for watching.
Great presentation! I wouldn't be surprised if years down the road these will be used on both recruit depots as a compliment for their appropriate Field Manuals. I can only imagine if your Hat came across your material, a smile would definitely come to his face as you continue to represent your brother's in arms and the Corps with excellence!
Thanks brother. They actually don't cover much infantry related material in recruit training. Most of that is taught at SOI. I designed these videos specifically for junior Marines/Soldiers and NCOs.
Allways great to see you around, congrats and everithing good for you and yours
Much appreciated
Thanks for your service
Brent, this was my MOS in Vietnam, and we had the same problems there too. Awesome video. Semper Fi!!!
Thanks brother.
A couple of tips: try to keep your camo pattern as consistent as possible,this includes your face,the more you camo matches over your entire body the harder it is to see you. The brim of your boonie hat and helmet create a shadow that is easily distinguishable from the rest of you,your boonie hat brim should be trimmed back as far as possible to less'n that shadow. The helmet should have a camo cover that over-laps the edges and should be cut in an irregular pattern (all the way around)and not straight across the brim,back and sides.
Additional tip: the cotton poly blend fabric can be waterproofed for a extended period of time by rubbing a non-scented candle into the fabric and melting with a hairdryer or worst case a camp fire. The fabric does become slightly stiffer and may increase heat retention,to avoid this just apply to the neck,upper back and shoulder area as well as your boonie hat and helmet cover.
Hey man I love your videos and I’ve been doing the stuff that you told and it works thank you
im not in the military or do play military but damn. I appreciate you being straight forward and getting to the point
First rate presentation. Thank you
Thanks brother.
You should do a video about night vision when to use it, how it should be stored when not in use, types of NODs useful in different situations, what to expect when using NODs, different applications for Night Vision, and personal reccomendations.
Thanks brother keep them coming and stay safe
Thanks for watching.
Absolutely great information, thanks for passing on your knowledge.
Glad it was helpful!
You're not kidding about the effectiveness of a camouflaged weapon. I remember hunting with my father one time when he had just covered his rifle in camo tape. At the end of the day, he had left his spot to come find me so we could go back to the lodge. I saw him from a long way off, but didn't see his rifle. The whole time, I watched him and wondered what he had done with his rifle. He was almost within speaking distance and I almost asked him "Where's your rifle?" when I finally saw that he was carrying it like usual. I couldn't see the rifle for the life of me with that camo pattern on it!
Best Aussie soldier ever
This guy is just amazing man
Thanks brother
Thanks greetings from Chile
Great video as always! Being active duty Army I knew all of these, but it's definitely great to have a refresher. Many thanks!

Awesome, informative videos. I appreciate that you're not high-speed, shooting range style. But field op and movement. People often forget that the world isnt like a shooting range.
thanks brother.
First of all thank you for your service and also for sharing all this knowledge in such a no nonsense manner. I'd love to see a cold wet dogshit weather gear video. Tempurate winter conditions with rain etc. Cold and miserable. Thanks again!

That's the thing brother, the stuff I'm showing here is nothing high speed. All this should be what basic Infantryman Marines/Soldiers should be doing. Nothing special about proper camouflage, it's something every grunt should do.
