Great minds think alike!

I did mine different for archery hunting. I know, two different things, but, I had another hunter almost walk into me and didn't see me. I moved my bow and he about crapped his pants! Lol. I just had on the old TRUSTED woodland cammo and a hunters ball cap. I was about 30 yards off a crossecting game trail. He was on the other side of this hill heading back to his van. Bad news is, alot of sign for deer but only had a chipmunk hollerin at me and a crow above me lettin everyone know I was there *sigh*

Am Freiceadan Dubh Thanks! Great point!

instablaster.

Hell yea same😂

What up big Sarge!

Yep, no black. Dark green on the shine, light green on the shadow

If black wasn't an important color, why is it in most woodland camo? I disagree, I think it's extremely important to use black. The technique of green and dark green seems like ATACS, where as I'm used to woodland. But I suppose there are serval ways to grandma's house

Thank you for the comment! I'm glad you liked the video. I can do winter camo. Winter camouflage doesn't usually involve face paint because of the potential cold weather injuries, more accurately, the inability to identify those injuries with paint on the face while on mission. Exposed skin is the most likely area of the body to get chill blains or frost bite apart from the extremities. With paint on one's face it would be harder to identify and treat those injuries resulting in a greater injury over time. Typically 10F is the cutoff for winter camo.

@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft Someone go to CWLC ? My home unit was Artic, "winter" camo consisted of a white frostbite/skijourn mask whiteout top and od bottoms and a white ruck cover.

STEADILY READY PREPAREDNESS I did not, but one of my platoon sergeants was stationed in Alaska and did go. We were stationed in Europe together and EUCOM policy was face paint for all training events. A debate ensued when we were doing enter and clear trenches in 0 degrees. We went with the recon wraps that day.

@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft burnt cork or charcoal is the best on skin pigment for extreme cold like that when there is no powder.Carbon and scrim netting.

@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft do US soldiers wear face paint in desert environments? Or is camouflage face paint only used in a woodland environment?

There are subtle techniques for different climates and how exactly to break up the human features with face paint. The end state should be to conceal the human face and reduce the appearance of human facial characteristics so as to avoid detection. So as long as that is being done one can't go wrong.

Video up man. Let's see this killer technique. Every dude worth their salt is open to learn multiple new fieldcraft techniques.

Wiener products are good as well as BrigadeQM

@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft Thanks!

They came out with several patterns, most recently is the "scorpion" pattern. I'll publish a video later today using that camo. Most of the camo contrasts with the uniform.

James Hesch Thank you for the comment and awesome feedback, appreciate it!!!

I’ve got one or two of those concrete crayons laying around!

You can take them out of the tube and melt them down and add a few drops of coconut oil to soften them up. If you do too much, it’s soft like the compact stuff y’all have now.

That's what we used in my generation too. Felt like it was tearing the skin on the face when we applied it. Also we used black and green sticks as well as dark green/light green sticks. Hard to put on but hard to get off. Many times I'd be back in garrison after a shower and someone still tell me I had camo behind my ears. Baby oil worked well getting that stuff off in the shower.

@@SoldierAndrew We used shaving cream to take it off.

Lo siento, hablo espanol mas o menos. La pintura facial es mejor para climas cálidos. Baklava es bueno para el invierno para evitar lesiones por clima frío. Gracias.

@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft thank you sir is very good spanish best regards from Chile.

Apply vertical lines with as best as possible

You know it!

Chipmunks….MOVE OUT!!

Wiener Products, BrigadeQM is also pretty good.

BrigadeQM and/or Weiner brands

Always Armed88 Baby wipes!! Or those makeup wipes. Depending on brand of paint, wipes work well.

Wait 15 minutes and you’ll sweat it off. Never found the stuff useful

cleansing oil! baby wipes and makeup wipes are super wasteful and also tug SO MUCH at the skin. Cleansing oil is made specifically to break down heavy makeup and paints, so you can just massage your face for a few minutes then rinse! You should probably double cleanse with a regular face soap just for good measure, but the cleansing oil should get rid of all the paint.

@@nananhinha any oil or grease will do. less poison with cooking oil instead of motor oil.

Yeah, the contrast will be more obvious between colors, and you'll want to assess your environment for appropriate patterns and additional colors. Black works will with green and light green in a blotch or stripe pattern.

Thanks

Not yet. I’m working on a desert camp/blotch pattern where I’ll incorporate lighter colors.

Shaving Cream

Earl Wyss I have a sniper veil that I carry as my cotton material for the 10 C’s often. I completely agree that it can be used for Camo as well as for gathering material, etc. I use it to cover my kit if I step away from camp. No worries, I came in when we still had BDUs and DCUs.
