Favorite Camo Pattern(s)?

I like the look of snow tiger stripe that is a little faded, but find that solid subdued colors mixed matched work just fine.
 
This pattern works well too, I was wandering around the forest for hours before I found her !!!

I have just worn drab earthy coloured clothes and had people walk straight by me oblivious to my presence, I'm not sure if animals would spot me any better unless I moved ?

I just bought some RealTree Advantage MAX4 for duck hunting. I don't know if it will conceal in Northeast woods during the spring.
 
I like the milsurp German Flecktarn pattern, seems to work very well, got a good pic around here somewhere if I can find it.
 
i found that my digicamo army style poncho does a pretty good job in the snowy woods around here... i haven't tried it for un-snowy woods yet, but i think it will work out alright.

but i usually just do like alot of the guys in this thread, and wear subdued earthy tones. brown, tan, green, etc.

my favorite type of camo though is a physical block. things like large trees, rocks, folds of the earth, dry stream beds, etc. these all hide me far better than any camo will. of course, these also limit my ability to see anything, so they come at a disadvantage.
 
Old school Italian Army on top and tiger pants.
Works well with the pine and mountain laurel around here, year round.
Gray or green backpack.
Had a gray one for years, looked like a big rock. Really broke up the people silhouette.

Italian Army for those not familiar

Also have a West German Army snow cape for those snowy days :D
That is super for breaking up the people silhouette.

That's not camo. That is cover and concealment!:D
 
Hey Kismet thanks for that link! I saw a Morningwood camo sticker on a truck and meant to look it up but forgot the name... funny stuff and prolly as effective as any other pattern.

My favorite woods jacket is a british DPM pattern. Big pockets, layers up nicely, cool pattern. I just wish mine had a hood. I'm not picky about patterns, I just buy whatever's comfortable and on sale :foot: I agree with you all that too dark is bad.
 
I have worn alot of diffrent camo patterns over the years. Spent way too much money on them. If I were to do it over again I would just by extra large coveralls instead of expensive coats etc in the various patters. I still would like to try the ASAT pattern. Now I am just wearing tan for the most part. You just fade into the terrain. Watch your white hands and face, keep movement slow, watch the wind. Listen to the birds and squirrels for your first alert. Sit on a pad. More comfort less movement. It may sound wierd but when I zone out the animals appear unafraid. When I focus on them, they get spooky.
 
I find the Carhartt browns, greens and tans are very good once they've been worn a bit. Not only are the clothes good for outdoors but the colors are pretty good if you stay still or have a light screen of scrub, branches or whatever in front of you. I also try and get an oversized top to try an d break up the distinctive outline of a human, admittedly I just look like a big melted human but sometimes that's enough to get you overlooked.

As for favorite cam types I just use British Army stuff, specifically well worn jackets to allow the sharpness of the colors to fade a bit. If i'm static or doing a stalk then I use a 'head and shoulders' rig with a jacket that has loads of scrim down the back and on the shoulders and loads of elastic loops to allow me to add plenty of natural cam. Probably overkill for your situation though and you might get some very strange looks from other hunters in your group.
 
If we are talking about animals, except turkeys, about any combination of earth tone colors will work. I have killed lots of deer and hogs with carhart style pants and a flannel.

If you are talking about camo for people it is a different story. I play a lot of scenario paintball and have a chance to evaluate A LOT of different camo combinations in force on force scenarios. From personal experience the patterns I have seen that worked the best are Multicam, Canadian military pattern, don't recall the name of it right now, :confused: and last the British DPM camo. I can tell you the worst also, any dark solid color sticks out like a sore thumb. If you wear solid black you are pretty sure to have a bad day and lots of welts. :D Chris
 
Multicam is excellent in Australian conditions - much better than the Auscam our military wears.
