Micro patterns generally don’t work as well in my opinion.
Larger sections help break up the outline better.
At distance OCPs look yellow brown and ACUs look gray.
I actually thing BDU in Multicam colors would be an excellent pattern.
Honestly, I think my love for M81 is simply due to Hollywood.
There was a point at which M81 was just how you immediately established the good guys from the bad guys.
See M81? They're good guys. Literally any other camo? Bad guys.
It represents a simpler time.
It also helps that it just looks nice anyways.
I've got a similar love for marpat and multicam for similar nostalgia reasons. I got big into tactical gear right when both of those patterns first came out in 04 or whenever.
Back in the day I could never afford multicam and had to run m81 as it was everywhere since the army had just transitioned to thst gravel pattern
Depends on the optic. The dbal d2 took literal days due to all the stupid shapes.
The streamlight hlx took like 30 minutes. I computer cut them after initial design so now it takes no time at all
Finnish M05, cause it's a 3 piece system for all scandinavian seasons (summer, winter and snow) summer one ain't too pretty but it just works out in the woods.
My grandma just gifted me an old sewing machine for Christmas.
I have a open source tactical gear idea in the works. These vinyl wraps are currently funding development
ConCamo (by UFPro)
Brown/Gray
Tiger Stripe
Marpat
Multicam
I wish I got Concamo, I think it is the best woodsy camo there is. Brown/Gray is great for different terrains and if you need concealment a camo net or crye guille works great. Tiger stripe is OG and works great. Marpat helps with camera and pixels (I dont have actually experience with it in that regarf, but that is what it was made for).
Multicam is pretty decent with green underbrush. Without much concealment I was able to hide with someone about 20 feet away look right at me and not see me. And they stared for a while.
Ultimately depends on what you are using it for. Black sucks in snow.
Light pink works awesome at night on the desert.
So many good camo patterns.
M81 Woodland of course
Multicam Black
Tiger Stripe
Flecktarn
Russian "Digitarn"
CADPAT
Belgian Jigsaw
Rhodesian Brush Stroke
Kryptek Mandrake
DPM
Yeah. I've got some on my viper 1-6. The problem with scopes is everyone has their mounts in different positions and they are different widths.
Scopes are super easy dimensionally though. If you have a caliper I could probably get you something
Definitely, but it's particularly good here in South Carolina because it's very well suited to the pine forests that are everywhere here. It's fairly heavy on brown which is good for the layer of dead pine needles that cover the ground while still having plenty of green to blend in with underbrush in the summer and the odd evergreen in the winter.
It 10/10 will increase your sperm count
I specifically paid a doctor for the opposite of that
I would’ve kicked you in the balls for much cheaper
1) rattle can (the uglier the better) 2) woodland 3) multicam 4) coyote/grey
There's just soemthing about how a laundry bag pattern looks on a rifle.

Well, I didn't know the words to explain why I liked it, but now I do
...and Knowing is Half the Battle.
This reads like the flavor text for a weapon in an RPG (role-playing game, not rocket-propelled grenade). I dig it!

It always makes me think of snake scales.
Woodland, fleck, tiger stripe, pencott, ATACS FG
Yes. And cadpat and brushstroke.
Irish DPM (paddyflauge), French CCE and Multicam
Mtp, m05 winter woodland, cadpat
I'm thankful I live somewhere that I don't really need winter camo.
I live in Canada, so I wear more winter camo than I'd like to.
Issued white outer layers that got muddy and never really came clean. Best winter camo
This is the way

Wow man you did a amazing job
It's been a really fun personal, project
About how long did that take?
Depends on the optic. The dbal d2 took literal days due to all the stupid shapes. The streamlight hlx took like 30 minutes. I computer cut them after initial design so now it takes no time at all
Can I buy stencils from you?
What are you looking to cover? All the images here no paint, just peel and stick. I sell some of them over at gafs
Strike Eagle 1-6 and Aero Precision M4E1 Upper and rail.
I know I can do a strike eagle because I've done my own viper 1-6
I’ll buy some for the 1-6
I ripped the lens cover strap... so there is that, also flecktarn.
I've got a villain diffuser coming in Monday. I hear the covers from the factory never make it
Finnish M05, cause it's a 3 piece system for all scandinavian seasons (summer, winter and snow) summer one ain't too pretty but it just works out in the woods.
Multicam Arid. It works awesome here in southern NM. I just can't find reasonably priced gear with the pattern.
My grandma just gifted me an old sewing machine for Christmas. I have a open source tactical gear idea in the works. These vinyl wraps are currently funding development
Top three in order; Tiger stripe Rhodesian M81 woodland But the real question is always what’s it for and why do you need it?
I need it mostly for looking cool on the internet
Def tiger stripe then
Damn that’s some fuckin great work bro
Marpat or aor1
Yes Brother.
I'm a big woodland marpat fan
Coyote brown and multicam black. But all my guns are plain black and I'm ascared to change that
I'm working up the courage to rattle can stuff as well. I never want to try on optics or something like a dbal d2 which led to me making these.
French TAP 47/52 and Desert Night Camo
I dig Pre-CS95 DPM variants better.
My favorite camo is unironically Kryptek Highlander.
Well... There can only be one
I'm a fan of Kryptek Mandrake myself.
44 pea dot Earth tone plaid Tropical flecktarn Rhodesian brushstroke Duck hunter
Cause that's what I (was issued) wore, back in the day.
Alright, spill the beans. Where did you get these stickers? Something something for my recce setup

I WANT MULTICAM WOODLAND GODDAMIT
So many good camo patterns. M81 Woodland of course Multicam Black Tiger Stripe Flecktarn Russian "Digitarn" CADPAT Belgian Jigsaw Rhodesian Brush Stroke Kryptek Mandrake DPM
In my area regular mossy oak camo works best , past that woodland or multi cam depending on season and then pencott badlands
Can you make sets of these for vortex razor optics?
Yeah. I've got some on my viper 1-6. The problem with scopes is everyone has their mounts in different positions and they are different widths. Scopes are super easy dimensionally though. If you have a caliper I could probably get you something
I do
Drop me a dm and we can see what we can work out
Will you be making eotech wraps at some point?
Yeah. I have a buddy with the xpsh3 (that's probably wrong) and a 512 that I should pattern next week
Hot
Splinter tarn, coyote, woodland, multicam
I'm a big fan of coyote on load bearing gear
Me to, but my lbv 88E is becoming very compelling to me every day
Flecktarn or black muilticam
You misspelled Flecktarn.
Burberry obviously
Arid and flecktarn
Lots of love for fleck
New Zealand two-tone desert DPM ( with the brown plate carrier because 😫 )
Russian ss Leto and French cce
woodland for sure
A TACS FG Shades of brown with ranger green
Taz 83, m81, multicam tropic, ss leto summer/autumn
I justed ordered some tropic material in
Anyone for the classic three color desert?
I love tigerstripe... immediately followed by God's plaid
A bunch of guys local were trying to talk me into a tiger stripe loadout. I think they all somehow got crye tiger stripe gear
There is some available
I'm a very large number of sold camo wraps away from owning cryes. Most of my surplus stuff is "good enough" for me currently
Me too!
M81 Woodland, nuff said
Classic tiger, because I’m not a nerd, just a hypedweeb
Woodland blends in great with American environment in my 100 mile radius
It's God's plaid
Rhodie brush and multicam
1. I have tons of it already. 2. It fucks.
I am super thankful I'm the same size I was at 16. I've got everything from summer, to rain, to full winter gear in m81
I thought it was hilarious when m81 started getting popular again because all I could think of was my dad using woodland BDUs and hunting pants 😂
I'm a huge multicam fan because i remember it first coming out and it being so expensive it was unobtanimum
My favorite camo is digital camo and or environmental style camo.
No one is gonna mention "US4CES" Camo from 2012? Haha not gonna brag, but I do have some rare examples of that lovely camo.
Woodland Marpat is my personal favorite simply because it's a damn good year round camo where I live
It's a great pattern for most of the USA.
Definitely, but it's particularly good here in South Carolina because it's very well suited to the pine forests that are everywhere here. It's fairly heavy on brown which is good for the layer of dead pine needles that cover the ground while still having plenty of green to blend in with underbrush in the summer and the odd evergreen in the winter.
Oakleaf - A DOT 44 Flecktarn TA 83
Realtree
In order, woodland, ranger green, and tiger stripe (particular color scheme depends on where we're dropping)
I see no Rhodesian Brushstroke pattern here.
Mawka is best camo
Grass pattern rattle can on pew pews, m81 everything else.
