Poll: Pacific Northwest Camo Debate!

[RedRover]

Warfare, SHTF? My vote is CADPAT. Similar to marpat, but darker shades of green/grey for this area.

Agreed.

I had to read through the thread to see if anyone else had mentioned it before I would.

Cadpat; for a while the Govt of Canada banned civilian sales of the pattern


USMC Marpat; I want to say it looks more suitable as its got more brown in it?
By the way, theres a few people who bloviates that the Marines stole the design from the Canadians

But the MARPAT is based on studies from this vehicle paint scheme in the late 70s; Dual Texture Camouflage using the MERDC 4-color Woodland palette


For an uniform easier to acquire thats close to CADPAT; check out NWU type 3 AOR2.

Frogman wear would be the 2nd choice.

Military issue CADPAT(NVD disrupting) can be acquired from former CF, but AFAIK it is still not legal to be sold/exported.

There are commercial companies that simulate the CADPAT(tern) for the civilian market.

The only one I know of is CP Gear?

Depends on city you live in, either camo pattern hipster or camo pattern business casual.
Tweakers are your Pathfinders and Crack dealers are the Rangers.

You guys are stupid thinking people go in the woods anymore pffft. trying to be all 90's tactical advantage like the next warfare won't be right in your drive ways.

I've found it on eBay from Canadian sellers, but it's rarer to find in 'Woodland'(especially pants). 'Arid'(Desert) is more common.

I suggest setting up a (search/notify) email for newly listed items.

Anyone try RIT dye ACU's?

Saw some YouTube that make them seem useful. Seems reasonably easy plus inexpensive.

Apple green, IIRC.

RIT dye works pretty good ...
Can make some "groovy camo" tie-dye style...
Using OD green or Tan BDU's...and Grey , Brown or Green RIT dye.
( Make sure that the BDU's are Cotton...won't work with a Polyester or Poly Blend )

Actually Rit makes dye for synthethics, and usually require salt water or vinegar bath to get the dye to stay into the fabrics before rinse with water

Just don't wear it out in public. You don't need to be in camo gear to go to the grocery store.

It doesn't make you cool. It doesn't make others think your a badazz operator. Yes I can still see you just as easily. And I've probably already decided your a wannabe LARPer that lives in mom's basement and masturbates to Fortnight.

Camo is fine for hunting in the woods. And SHTF but it better really be SHTF. Otherwise you look like an inbred hillbilly.

Ya dont need a 3 piece suit for grocery shopping, or just being out in public.
In an office building or a restaurant as a maitre d, sure. But 3 piece suits dont belong in the woods or the public
Ya wear that, people are gonna assume you're an office drone, or worse, an IRS agent living in a house too expensive for your means, and in significant debt

It is what it is... 'round here that is standard dress for WalMart shopping!!!

 

[bbbass]

Of course, it is always some hunting season here, so I guess one could be excused for what would otherwise be a dress code faux paux.

No worse than the 35+ year old sports fan manchild with oversized clothes or the gym d-bags with shirts 3 size too small and perfectly manicured, short beards

Spoiler

Why is the above less socially acceptable, but the below is acceptable? (As a fellow whale....... )

 

[westcoastal]

Although I do like a solid green coat, I have taken as many big game in blue jeans as I have in camo, rain gear I've worn for years is camo, so depends on the day.
