Tactical Gear: Camo or No Camo?

Ya wanna be invisible, you get/make a ghillie suit

The purpose of camoflage is to make you worthy of being ignored.

Dave L is on the money. And for the record..I'm Army(Guard now) and the ACU SUCK!! As for ONE pattern the Multi-Cam looks the best or go with 2 like the Marines did(Woodland and Desert). Before I forget....THE VELCRO on the ACU's blows too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[the judge]

Buy Woodland or go home....

In the Woodlands of Canada, I still like the old Woodland camo the best. I like Multi-cam, but I think it is a bit to light in color.


I use OD a lot as a base color for gear and spray paint it as needed.

Trying to look at it from both a LE and Mil perspective ... yeah, it trashes my feeble mind ... I tilt towards a solid color for gear. Ragnar Gruen followed very closely by MJKhaki. A whole bunch of my gear is ragnar gruen, but my plate carrier (which sees the most actual use) is MJKhaki with M/C pouches on it.

Mil-wise ... in spite of what Big Army and the E-9 Mafiya thinks ... I believe that R/G works great with the UCP. But, obviously, it ain't my call. My non-LE uniformed gun belt is R/G, so is one asslt pack, chest rig and CIRAS vest.

The Army seems to like everything in ACU which doesn't matter because it doesn't really blend with anything

Actually, it works freakin awesome on grandma's couch...

but that is really the only place.

Reminds me of this old chestnut from Robin Williams in "Good Morning Vietnam" maybe Leo helped design the new ACU.

...Ragnar Gruen...

Erick-
I thought that we all agreed that Viking Colors were off-limits.
If they are back on the table- then I am going for Flat Dark Olaf.
