I'm the advantage camo poster child. Shotgun, muzzleloader, sleeping bag, slings, clothes, boots, buck and beretta knives, etc. and on and on.

It is German, but I forget what it is called. No, it is not the poka-dot pattern.

Extremely long distance! If you're far enough away, the bad guys will find a closer target to shoot at.

Quoted: Flecktarn!! The German SS WWII camo was pretty cool too. The modern German camo is in fact indirectly based on the old SS camo from the war. The German fleckarn is directly based on the Danish camo pattern that was introduced in 1984 - the flecktarn is the EXACT same pattern, it just uses different colors. The original Danish pattern was touted as computer-designed and very effective, but I always thought it looked very reminiscent of the old SS pattern. When I was at the Danish Army Combat School where it was developed, I asked the people there exactly how it was developed, and they admitted that the computer used a starting pattern to work with - which of course turned out to be the old SS pattern. Nobody in the Danish army was surprised when the German army leapt on the excuse to adopt the modified Danish pattern. Those Germans are a scary bunch.

I think most of the commercial patterns are way too busy without enough overall breakup, though there are some good ones. I like Forest Floor a lot. And the "Outfitter" pattern that cabelas has looks like a real nice late season pattern - essentially woodland with no green. (A splash might be nice though.)
Renamed - you're onto something. I want a tartan made of Olive Drab, Brown, Black, and Green. Then make me a bunch of flannel shirts out of that. |

I really like the 2 color British Desert Camo pattern, then the 3 color Desert Tiger Stripe.....
Other than that, just regular Woodland Camo. Since that is 98% of what I have anyway!! DK [:D] |

Depending on terrain/season:
- OD green BDUs with black or gray spray paint in large, irregular splotches - Grey BDUs with either black or OD green spray paint in large, irregular splotches - Tan BDUs with brown or OD green spray pain in large, irregular splotches Obviously ghillie suits and snow coveralls are also good under the right circumstances. |

The "best" camo depends on (1) the environment, and (2) the target/viewer. Give me those two bits of info, and I'll give you my choice.

I had a set of Vietnam era Jungle cammies including a cover while in the USMC back in the early 80's. You know the rip stop jungle pattern with the slanted chest pockets? URDL was what the pattern was called, I think. Maybe not the best cammo but when everyone else was wearing woodlands, they were definitely very salty. I wore them to my promotion to Corporal the C.O complimented me on them but the Sgt. Maj. just about blew a gasket. But hey as long as they were serviceable they were still authorized for wear.

I purchased a field jacket from a local army surplus. I have tried to find out the origin of the camo but have had no luck. It looks similar to the German camo here but no tan or dark brown. I think it might be Austrian... anyone have a picture of Austrian camoflage? The jacket is not "new".
Thanks USMC_LB |

Do you know what years they used that pattern ? |

I actually prefer Desert camo. Circa Desert Storm. I don't know why, but the pattern just looks cool to me.
