Some thoughts on Arid Patterns.....

Not sure why I never posted this but apparently I didn't.....

John,

thanks for your quality video.
I always suspected some of the deserts might work at least ok, possibly even well in urban terrain.

here is another thought?
Have you considered the use of the much maligned ACU in urban terrain?
All those grays mixed in with weed-green ought to work there real well no?

I am asking beccause we all know huge amounts of ACUs will hit the surplus markets soon.

Cheers,

Erick

'Natural' I think is the key, in general.

Anything that is a natural colour is going to work in nature.

Some are more appropriate to a given biome, but all will work to a degree. Fuck, FDE in the Arctic can be confused for a rock, whereas red is definitely something 'man made'.

I don't think UCP (ACU), at least in it's standard form works well in most environments. It's too bright, but painted/dyed/faded to all hell, I think it will work pretty good. It is cheap, and I have some left in my closet from my time in

We did a jungle lane once in a land far away.
You started at the top of a small basin. Less than 20 yards away at 3 and 9 to the start point was two Ivan's. One in acu one in wood land with an sas veil around each ones face to keep shine down. The Ivan's were set out the night before..it had drizzled that night.
The targets weren't exactly hidden super great. You want folks to learn not lose.
80% didn't see the acu clad Ivan. Once you saw it though it was plain as day.
Lesson 1- movement gives you away.
I like the acu you see from time to time that has that rusty tinge to it.
But simple rit dye..can do wonders to it.
