| I live in the Southeast and use MossyOak for hunting, but they really dont provide any BDU type clothing. I was thinking about going with the new Multicam. What y'all think? |
|
Blue jeans and a button-up shirt (or a t-shirt, depending on the weather), maybe a jacket if it's cold. Deer, varmints, birds... they never seem to know the difference.
If I had to pick a pattern that looks great where I like to hunt (South Texas), I'd probably go with Mossy Oak Brush. |

camo? you would probably be better served asking this question in the tactical gear subforum in the armory. the most typical camo you're likely to find in survival gear is hunting styles when we hunt, or what i like to call "grey man camo" and for me is as follows
denim or some sort of earth tone cargo pant comfy hikers from columbia or athletic shoes white t-shirt black zip hoodie i don't stand out, nobody looks at me and thinks "military fan boy..." (not calling you one...) and best of all i can disappear in a crowd and no one will look twice at me (except to remark at how fugly i am  )

High desert, and Natural Gear, is what I have been using for the last 12 years..
camo My son 
me

| I guess I wasnt clear enough, my fault. Im thinking more along the lines of bug out camo. I am a city LEO, so that will be my camo until I can find my way into the less traveled (see no one but me and mine) parts of the back country until we can make it to my BOP. |

.
Camouflage depends on location. I like brown canvas work pants and jacket. They are sort of a deepr version of coyote brown and after wearing for a while the color softens nicely. Work clothes don't scream "I'm being tactical" but if I had to I could blend into the terrain we have around here. ETA: beat by less that 2 min.

Really the question you ask is like asking what firearm is best? It all depends on what you want to do and where you want to go! I was in the Texas desert 10 miles away from Mexico and woodland camo worked better then the desert in that area. I can't tell you what is best camo for your area like your can't tell me what is the best meal for my family! Go out and try camo in your area take photos and see what works best! |

I'll say this, I AM A CAMO WHORE I have everything from flectarn to multicam.... Bugging out I will wear jeans, a tshirt, and carhart. I'm southwest MO and I won't wear camo. Bugging out I want to look just like everyone else, only military looking thing is my pack and it wears a rain cover to blend in. Unless you are in a serious military looking group traveling as a hard target, I would try to blend in with everyone else so I'm not singled out. Only thing fairly military looking clothing I might wear depending on weather is my TAD Specter hardshell, and that is because it is by far hands down the best hardshell I have ever used. It's also black and will still blend in fairly well, I love that new event fabric, check out this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym9l1qHMQdI&feature=youtube_gdata_player Eta, dang! Beat while searching for video |

Yep but not needing tactical stuff I just buy bibs and their button down shirt and their waterfowlers jacket and your good to go.. I lost my quad once in some dunes south west of Winnemucca Nevada once so I wouldn't want a NAT Gear quad.. hunter green was bad enough |

ASAT 3D suit and regular camo... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Stew234/trkystndng.jpg I would like to see a pic off that taken from about 35 yards in that enviroment! That Nat gear stuyff is awesome for a hunting type camo too. |

I have a set of mossy oak top & bottoms for temperate weather hunting, but my extreme cold weather gear (goretex parka and overpants) is woodland since it's readily available and somewhat inexpensive.
Now, if you're talking about bugging out camo, the best camo is normal hiking or outdoor-type clothing in earth tone with a low profile backpack. Save the multicam and marpat for when you hit your BOL and need to do patrol work on your own property. Pretty sure if you run into police they will mess with you if you're wearing BDU's. |
| Woodland BDU, neighbor sold me 5 pairs of pants for 25 bucks, 2 sets of light weight rip stops and 2 sets of winter weights and a set of desert. I had another three sets of woodland, so with 7 sets I am pretty much set for life. Buddy also gave me a standard jacket and a gortex jacket both woodland. Hunting gear doesn't get any cheaper. I where one pair all the time for work around the house ect, they work great for that tons of pockets and they don't show grease or dirt. |

I agree with you, if your plan includes trudging along with the other refugees. You want to blend in with the crowd. However, if you intend to carry a rifle, I don't see how your clothing or backpack is going to make much difference in the amount of attention you get. The rifle guantees attention from the police/military. OTOH, if you intend to stay away from the refugees and to avoid attention, the right clothing can help you blend in with the vegetation. |

Agreed –– you could be wearing a pink tutu and it wouldn't draw more attention than your slung rifle

for hunting, i use realtree insulated coveralls, a civillian ghillie suit, or german snow camo poncho.
i have a lot of woodland camo around, and im planning to buy more to outfit the kids with, its effective, and cheap, i like the multicam, but cant get it as cheap as woodland bdu's and goretex gear etc. |
