What do y'all think of the CADPAT/MARPAT?:

Also, this MultiCam works wonders in my A/O:

In those pics of the hillside, with the 'white bolders' an 'short shrub', how many operators do you find?

NC Citizens Militia is moving away from woodland camo after a long evaluation and now recommending all its members upgrade to Crye Precision's Multicam. I was skeptical at first but the stuff works great and in a wider variety of environments than anything else I've seen. |

Glad I looked because I was going to start a thread on this.
I went with my son yesterday to get him some camo for his airsoft. We saw many different types ( many that I already have ) and the newest multicam also. I have to admit that it looks nice, but is EXPENSIVE !! We decided on Marine digital and after he came back today from playing he said he loved it. One of his friends has the Multicam and he thought that the Marine digital was better. Then again, that's just his .02 LOL
Like I said above, I own many types of camo, but I'm buying British DPM now because I love the way it looks and breaks up in the field. My other reason is ( like Jim Rawles suggests in Patriots Surviving The Coming Collapse ) that if I or my team have something different from the masses it will be easier to recognize our people from others that might wander/patrol into our AO. You don't want to kill/injure you own people by mistake.
Something else that Mark Koernke suggests is to mix up your patterns depending on your terrain to break up your pattern even more ie; shirts different from pants etc.
I also like the German Fleck pattern for FALL weather when the leaves are turning. The reds and oranges mix well with the leaves.
Just my rambling. Everyone has something they really like.

FWIW: Koernke is a charlatan proven not to be an "intelligence officer" as he claimed in the 90's; only a simple staff NCO (non-combat to boot!), later arrested, jailed, and now still running and rambling on "Liberty Radio". NObody up here with any sense listens to him. We know better. He's not welcome in more groups than I can name.

Also FWIW, as long as your pattern blends you into the terrain, it's good. Experience has shown that a predominance of various browns with some green & very, very little black does very well in most American AO's and not so good in others.
We've found here that the woodland pattern works well in spring and summer and faded woodlands work well in winter. We've also found that the ASAT pattern works extremely well in winter when worn as an over garment. The Multicam doesn't work well at all up here; MARPAT works somewhat ok, believe it or not, in our training areas, Woodland beats all the "latest and greatest" out handily, especially the ACU and that crap the USAF calls "ABU" (both patterns are useless!). Add to that the expense of just having one complete outfit, and you get convinced that maybe Woodland isn't so bad afterall.
But, like you've said, each AO has their pattern. We buy it cheap as we can and use the leftover for other things we need.
Just my .02 |
