TheTruthNeverLies (OP) User ID: 22521718 United States 02/14/2013 12:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It depends on your area of operation. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34334776 Urban - normal clothes, maybe khakis, dont want to look tactical at all, or combat ready at all. Rural - camo is a must however I would shy away from military grade why? it sucks. Mossy Oak or any region/season specific hunting grade camo is way more effective. If you must use military (tiger stripe, MARPAT digital, German Flecktarn depending on the time of year and region). In my region the forests are thick jungle like huge leafy plants, thick underbrush during the summer hence the tiger-stripe or MARPAT, fall flecktarn/MARPAT. However for in town usage normal clothes by far unless my community rallies into a common defense for each other, in which sticking out wont be a concern. Then again in my area people wear camo all day anyways. thanks man, i didnt know that about the military grade clothing. thanks!

Wear street clothes in neutral colors like dull green, brown or gray. Baseball caps have sharp edges and make one easy to spot in the woods. Same goes for wearing black - you'll be too dark. L.L. Bean sells the kind of clothes I'm speaking about. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 22301087 United States 02/14/2013 01:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yea, so they can Ambush people. Camo is USELESS, when you are on the move. Wrong It is much easier to spot a moving target that contrast the background. Camo works better the farther you get away from it. The idea is to slow identification as a target. Wearing a red ball cap? I dont care if your are moving or not...if you are withing 300 yds I can see you. Camo at 300, much better chance of evading ID as a target. Like anything Camo is a tool, not a miracle. If you don't know how to make use of camo it's useless. I would advise a good understanding of movement, light and noise discipline. |

Note to the scouts: a moving target will appear in your peripheral vision better than watching for something. Move your point of view and stare at an object (don't move your sight around) and if something moves, your off center vision will pick it up. If your view is moving, this trick doesn't work. Change your sight window every few seconds to cover the entire field of view. Remember that knat buzzing around you can see until you try to look for it? Same concept...

Snickrot User ID: 31589100 United States 02/14/2013 02:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Personally, I think if troops/cops are around, I'd wear jeans or shorts and blend in as a poor schmuck. Quoting: Jg 33702840 Plus I don't want to attract attention from neighbors/strangers that would make them assume I have any preps. Only if I hooked up with others/friends would I do that. exactly, so why all these preppers on youtube having everything camo? Because they are idiots. They are putting their face out there for other people to recognize them as preppers. All so they can feel important. Urban camo is to dress like a hobo. Make it look like you have nothing and people will not try and take anything. Make it look like you have kids if you are not a parent and they what ever oppressive force will less likely just hose the place down before entering. It is all about misdirection.
