Best camo for woodlands?
 

what camouflage design is best for B.C. area woodlands? and if i could get a link to the pattern your talking about that would be even better

Well if you play in the Woodland wouldn't it be Wouldland Camo?

Try the following :
Woodland camo
Multicam
Flecktarn?

You can probably find all of these at your local army surplus or DSTACTICAL.COM

ok hey how is cadpat? i just found a shirt with that design and it looks nice.
Cadpat

Cadpat's great when fall hits. Multicam is kind of an all around season camo, Cadpat's good for when fall hits, not to sure about flecktarn. Crye Percision has great multicam items with built in knee pads and elbow pads (buy seperately.) Are you looking for something that's for all around the year or just now?

im looking for an all around gear so I'm going to check out the multicam pattern. thanks for the info!:D

Hey i really like the multicam but i was wondering if any one know were to find this in Multicam

Here's some links for multicam.

There's a few sites for you to check out. Check around though you might see better prices.

Infact TacticalTailor's a very good site. http://www.tacticaltailor.com/index....n=Custom&ID=15

There's almost everything you could dream of having in multicam. Haven't found BDU'S yet though.

Well I am in Nanaimo and I use Multicam and ACU

Isn't ACU like a city camo?

In my personal experience, CADPAT and MARPAT works the greatest.

If non of you guys knew, Marpat used to be the Canadian Standard Issue Camo.

Hey I just seen that tacticaltailor is bringing in Desert Marpat. Yay!

CADPAT=evergreen/cedar forest works well in shadows
MULTICAM=Alot is in a name takes practice but can work in alot of invironments
WOODLAND/DIGIwoodland/MARPATwoodland=OLD growth forest/fall tall old trees dirt mud ground works well in shadows

have not used or played with users of many outher cammo but ACU or whatever that white grey and black crap is called it works well at Flagraiders due to the grey buildings and im sure it would be okay in a blown up urban environment but outherwise it does not work too well

cad/pat is incredible ,whether against moss covered trees,ferns or low underbrush, you practicly disappear. only thing i can see rivaling cad in our western climate would be flectarn. during the fall season anyone in flectarn practicly becomes their environment. whatever cam you choose,carefull how you wash them. not only are they prone to fade but washing with certain detergents will make you glow like a lite brite to players using night vision.

Oh man. The CF guys are gonna roast you alive for that one. Better get your flame-proof undies....

Yea... Im pretty sure MARPAT is short for Marine Disruptive Pattern, and last I checked, Canada didnt have any marines...

CADPAT is what we use now, and i must say it works great, even as it fades it starts to work well for urban, as it turns into a sort of ACU pattern. MARPAT Is what the Americans came up with afterwords, we have never used MARPAT and i must say, after using CADPAT and working alongside with marines in MARPAT i can honestly say i don't want to use it.

If ya want to prevent fading while washing stuff like this wash it in cold water and turn it inside out before ya wash it, works really well from my experience.

MARPAT...
 

If i could bring myself to join the digital age... Marpat would be what I would go with..

I have had an opportunity to see quite a number of different camo in action running OPS at FTF..

Nothing worked as well and Marpat in mixed forest.

I have seen a section of men literally disappear within 15 feet of me... while I was watching them...

No other pattern... Cadpat included has been observed by me to work as well.

Multicam... is a really good low light general camo... it even works well indoors..but it is not as "multi" as you may think.

Russian Partizan... works quite well as well.

I'm a DPM man myself...

I personally like the cadpat. It works well for me, but not for all seasons such as fall when the leaves and grass lighten up. But I say it's still one of the best.

cool I've got a lot of good advice still don't know witch to go with yet lots of conflicting posts. hey what does C.I.A. use (central island airsoft)? there right in my area and i would imagine they would know the best pattern. :D

do what some who can't make up there mind do and buy EVERYTHING! that way you can have camo for every environment hell every mood...wel only if you buy that crazy camo some places have...pinks...purples...

lol pink cadpat camo "tear goes down cheek".
i can't afford all the different camo's my money's going into my gun and upgrades with a little left over for gear.

*twitch*

Personally I've been using DPM on and off for years and it's done the best job for me, AND it's cheap to get on hand.
Mind you I'm an ally kind of guy, I got tired of the HSLD look that everyone seems to be going for these days.

I like Tiger Stripe myself and use that all summer up here. When things get rocky and we head towards fall, I use Multicam. I like (for just our type of woods).

I like worn Cadpat too - works really well. I don't find ACU or new Cadpat or White T-shirts work as well.

Here's Tiger and Cadpat. (I know - poor example.)

gunscythe holy crap it took me a second to see you lol. can i ask were your from so i know what provinces woodland that is? doesn't look like Nanaimo area, but that might be because of lighting and on that note do you guys ever play at night or through the night?

~ADD~
zebra looks best in that pic

LOL looked out my window at some trees across the yard CADPAT is the best for my area!

LMFAO ok now THATS funny!

One time it seems there really is no "best" it seems tor really come down to what like, I use CADPAT myself cus it works, there is only so much you can do when it comes to basic camo IMO only thing you can really do to truly blend in 100% would be make a ghillie suit.

that or you can just get one of them tree costumes Graham Green wore on that kids show...

Thats ridiculous, do some reading Einstein.

Funny enough the camo on the Russian Partizan is actually WW2 SS Oak Camo.....funny

Best to get your gear in khaki since it goes great with multicam, also goes great with cadpat, marpat, etc. It tends to look like a medium dark tan colour, in some light is looks like a brownish olive brown colour, in other light it looks light tan colour. In other words, it tends to change colours slightly same as multicam does..

I learned something new today. Anyways just get multicam. It's the new "camo" that everyone uses now. It blends in all around the year. If multicam's not your cup of tea get cadpat.

We're in the Northwest Territories, so it's totally different up here. I find with the varying shadows/trees/bushes tiger stripe makes me invisible when not moving.

I do not think there is an answer to "what is the best camo" because it totally depends on the situation. And even then, several camos work well. While CADPAT might be the answer in one locale, change the sunlight and all of a sudden Multicam works better. I dunno...

I also like Tigerstripe because apart from being great, noone wears it but me, so it's easy for the new guys to know who I am. (he's the one guy wearing Tiger...). So style and psychology have input as well as concealment.

I agree...but...

Someone (RCMP ERT) told me "actually ghillie is a pain in the ass...we use it when hunkering down for long periods of time, but when we're bushwhacking it caughts caught all to hell...". I've found that as well. For hiding motionless - the entire game - ghillie is good, but I find even having ghillie on my head it gets caught when diving through cover.

So ghillie isn't the be all and end all of camo. It's like a big fishhook. It works well, but also catches stuff.

That's fucking brilliant! No shit, I'm serious, best simile ever!

Anyway, if you can find some good cheap patterns that vary in colors (flecktarn, tigerstripe, woodland, DPM, etc..) Then buy a set of each and something like a coyote brown rig to wear overtop, and you'll basically be set for any season and local terrain. For the winter...whites.

i know this sounds kinda stupid but...does black work?? like all pitch black?

Think of it this way if your camo blends into daytime foliage, it will blend into nighttime foliage the same.

Black will always be darker than anything else, so it will stand out at night unless it is pitch black out.

And remember black is not a normal colour found in nature, so it does tend to stand out. I wouldn't recommend pure black for any military application.

I think that's the idea behind Multicam not having black in it.

I personally like a little bit of black in camo, in my eyes it kinda simulates shadows.

Get it all but don't break the bank
 

This is what I do to keep my camo habit under control.

I have a pair of Canadian issue OD pants.. paired up with one of the following

Tiger Stripe jacket
DPM smock ( ok I have 3 of them)
Flectarn Smock
Woodland Jacket
Multicam Anorak
3 flavours of Russian camo

With all of this... I can adapt to whatever season and environment I need to

bunnycam is superior

Exactly...who expects a fucking bunny on the battlefield?! Dude, it's all about surprising the enemy!

wasnt there an episode in family guy that dressed up like a clown so the enemy didnt see him because they were looking for GI ?

Few people have mentioned it. But in lower BC woodlands Flecktarn is amazing. My whole team uses it and I've lost track of the amount of times people have just 'disappeared'. We have occassional players who have used the following: CADPAT, MARPAT and TIGERSTRIPE and none of them work as well. Also we had a guy using US Woodlands which is actually quite effective, although dated. I wouldn't say it's the best camo but it's cheap and it does work.

We played with Tropentarn at that field (im assuming its Rawdon). When we were on the edge of the forest, I couldn't see where my squad was when they were more than a few meters away (and neither could anyone else)

Move these guys back near the brushes and the flecktarn will be invisible like the Predator.

how about this one....

http://www.dragginjeans.ca/images/pr...go_camo_uv.jpg

but no, seriously, when Cadpat will come out with a combat set like the one that Crye Combat top/Pants in Multicam w/Kneepad has...that would be pretty sweet...
