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.

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

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....



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...
