love the scenes where you let us try to spot you shows how well it works quite effectively

Everyone knows that when a Finnish sniper spots you, you are ‘finished’.

I live in a subtropical place that never snows, but this is still very interesting to watch.

On the road shots you could use the Finnish army trick of summer woodland M05 jacket + M05 snow camo pants. That way your legs are blending to the snow on the ground and from waist up you are blending to the trees that have little to no snow. Works very well when viewed from a distance.

The old Finnish M62 field uniform was intended to be used inside out in snowy terrain. There were pockets both inside and outside.

Playing "Find the Camo soldier in the picture" was good fun :)

The pattern of the hat is named pakkaskuvio. Meaning frost or freezing pattern. It is meant to be used exactly how you described the mixing of camos. We can have snow camo on depending of environment or the frost pattern for foresty thawing areas

You guys DESERVE more subscribers man. Even though you mostly “cater” to the younger generation, there’s ALWAYS a lot I get out of it too..at 62. STILL young @ heart..and not quite as agile. Well, not even close really. Y’all have one of THE BEST channels, “gun-tubers” or not..awesome stuff!

When Ziga was practicing his shoulder rolls in the snow, all I could picture is him continuing to roll, accumulate snow, turn into a giant snowball, and blasting through a wall at the bottom of the hill like the KoolAid guy. "OH yeah! Tactical snowball entry FTW!" 😂 Polenar team, I know you can make this happen.

here in estonia during some times of winter we wear snow camo pants and woodland camo tops so when youre standing or crouching your legs blend into the snow and your top blends in with the trees

Late springtime we used only snowpant coverall in finnish army, because there was snow only on the ground. All the foliage, trees and other stuff were completely snowless, so best performing combo was using normal m05 pattern on top, and using snow coveralls for the legs. Of course the snow coverall jacket was there with you, if needed for the mission. Served in recon unit so blending in for the mission was always part of preparation.

I remember the winter of 2010 when I was in the Finnish army and we used the m05 winter camo. When we were walking to the shooting range it started to snow and it was almost impossible to spot the guys walking ON THE ROAD ~50m in front of me. Couple a little snowfall with the very limited daylight hours finland has during the winter and you get yourself an extremely potent camo pattern.

Manca in this white pants just make my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

In Norwegian army we very often wore white camo on the legs and not on the upper body. We found this to work well in mixed snow/forest environment, and reduced inconveniences and overheating.

Definitely one of my insta watch channels. Fun, informative, and right to the chase. Love you guys. I'm still fawning over your squad blitz drills from years ago

tbh in the army we had suspenders on those Snow M05's so I think its supposed to look like that. Also we put our gear on top of the snow M05's. The Readiness units usually camo their rifles and rigs atleast in the Jäger Brigade.

In Alaska the Native scouts where white pants and a camo top. Really blends with the tree line.

**The snow star speaking Finnish** Soviet: _my time has come_

0:12 Man down! Man down!

This was very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

This video was great, amazing how you can seemingly disappear once you stand still.

Besides the straight Snow camo head to toe, the Finns also use the Snow trousers/ bottoms and their Woodland top/ blouse in combination, also works very well for diffusion/ profile breakup in principle and application. I really like the M05 Snow camo but I wish it had Brown speckled in with the Gray, that would be nearly perfect then, alteration as needed is easy enough though. The Gear Aid brand self-adhering Fabric camo wrap work exceptionally well and matches the M05 Snow pattern extremely well (i've done a video with it and a home-made Snow camo system, my area is very similar to Finland in Winter).

Use white camo pant’s. Upper body regular uniform/camo . Snow on ground but not in trees/ backround

Those camo test were really nice. Movement is easy to spot in close but add distance and things arent that simple. Add some wind to move trees and maybe snowfall and only two things you will spot are named as Jack and Shit. Could see more videos like this how camo patterns works and how to hide man in plain sight.

This was awesome. Would love to see more videos like this.

I served in the Finnish army.. the time snow was on the ground but not in trees anymore we wore winter pattern pants and green jacket.

Ah yes, "spot the sniper" scenes. :) Well filmed, despite a few hiccups. Awesome trick with the tape. Works like a charm.

Nice, very intresting video. There are a lot of intresting patterns of camuflages 🤩🤩

This should be in every video. Spot the guy in camo hidden in a random scene. Could push up interaction too with people going through looking for them and posting in the comments.

I like the combination of having M05 winter lower and M05 woodland upper. Snow is white and trees are green🤙

Love y'all's stuff the comedic relief makes it top tier

An excellent snow camo demo video. I could hardly see anyone in it. Well done!

What I discovered in airsoft of all things when there is snow on the ground = just plain white pants and camo jacket of your choice works like you would not belive if you want to to even beyond, even plain white pants with ghillie green top give you almost 100% camo in a winter forrest where there is snow on the ground and the the "background" is more green than white "

The friendly Slav in his natural environment. Having a blissful day in the snow. Awesome gear and demonstration!

I've been loving the longer form content recently.

Great video. Effective camouflage of humor in a good informational video.

3:43 wehn he's behind the slim tree is incredible! so well camouflaged

That "hello" at 0:20 is so cute ❤😂

The classic german and swiss flecktarn are great examples of cammo that doesnt look like it will work but yet it completely disappears out in the field.

You can also use military poncho raincoat with desired camouflage pattern on it but it won't cover your legs. Also works great to camouflage a shelter, tent, equipment since it's waterproof. It's lightweight too.

I always feel like camo really shines when you see it at a distance. Up close, some of the shots were wicked in how well it blends and others pretty obvious. Back up like 30-40 yards and you're invisible. I'd do a gag video of "landscapes" and camo

I have recently seen a Norwegian force doing some NATO connected drill, and they had dark woodland type camo for the upper body, and snow camo for the pants, which blends really well in boreal forests. And was also kinda stylish.

Very well done, without falling into tacti-cool mode. Thank you!

this is where the three stripe slings shine!

Very Perkele, much Sauna, a lot of Mämmi.

“He’s doing a really great job” *drops down into oblivion off camera*

Those loose overgarments also help break up human shape. What I really noticed is that movement outside of concealment really gives you away. Camo is helpful, but it's not an invisibility cloak. I really liked your weapon camo. Wrap and bits of tape is my go-to for rifle camo--speaking of which, would you consider a compare/contrast video of tape and paint for weapon camo?

Excellent as always, strong work.

the main giveaway of camo is movement because everything else is still. but this is super cool

You guys should do a video with the phantom leaf camouflage patterns. Some people claim their photos are doctored but their patterns seem extremely effective!

The Finnish m05 camo has been optimized to decieve the eye. And camo combining is usual for example spring winter. Snow on the ground so need snow camo pants and summer or cold climate top. We usually wore gear over

When the forest starts speaking Slovenian.

Dang, that camo really works

I've been told that turning the M05 uniform inside out for winter is an intentional part of the design. It does absorb water like these guys absorb alcohol, so its not ideal for lying in snow, but I guess it works in a pinch.

0:09 "Is doing a really good job" -> stumbles out of nowhere 😀

I think Finnish camo is just looking lovely. It always tripped me up seeing someone kust moving when I thought there was no-one in the background

Been looking for some M05 snow pants for awhile haha effective camouflage it seems

Lol.. love your humor… love your technical assessment!

In the army we simulated "winter camo" always by turning the clothes insideout when there was fresh snowfall. Like my year was a wet black winter with snow only staying for a few days until it melted again....

Russians already knocked off M05 winter overwhites made from cheap nylon over 10 years ago so they can use them for false flags. We bought a bunch of them to see how they look and perform. They get really wet inside from sweat even in -30˚C, so they suck to wear. The Finnish winter gear allows sweat to vent out.

"Woah-oh-oh-oh Camouflage, things are never quite the way they seem" Now with having watched the video talking about camouflage, I can't get "Camouflage" by Sabaton out of my mind again...thanks! Great video, as always, pretty cool!! 👌😊

0:12 Looks like he also tripped! :D

Cool video! Good job in showing the pattern in various spots!

Oh yeah great content as always!

Imagine jumping on the mud with this beautiful white camo...

I think for next winter I'll pick up some M05!!

Kippis. The Finns are awesome! And you are awesome for showing off their winter camu!

about the black gloves.... do a hole in the sleeve of the winter camo a few cm down from the edge . put your tumb though the hole so the camo goes down to your knuckles. also reduces snow ingress

1/504th PIR 82nd Airborne US Army here (Ret.). We would routinely reverse our uniforms in light snow if we were not issued winter white covers. The blue-ish hue was not perfect but it was far better than the dark woodland pattern. 7:24 is my favorite type of camo!

Gaffa Tape 👍 Well done that man, well done

on EVERYTHING. When i first started the video i immediately started looking for the camo dude and i found him in three seconds.

Shape, Shine, Silhouette, Shadow, and Movement.

That m05 pattern with white specks is only really used on that fur hat and a heavy padded jacket and pants, they're only used if you need to stay warm while standing still like on sentry duty or during formation drills in winter.

Nice camouflage, Polenar Tactical.

In the army in Finland we never put our vest inside of the camo

M05 was made with tens of thousands of pictures taken all over finnish forests in different seasons and I think an AI assisted was used to generate pattern based on tones and how much of it is usually around. It wasn't trademarked or protected because you would have to submit the design entirely and there were concerns the data would leak. I would imagine every year the pattern is regenerated and compared to M05 until the environment has changed enough to push the move to a new pattern. (Global warming for example would change that winters are less snowy) Well I think around 2010's something the pattern was copied and sold, FDF wasn't able to sue because they didn't protect the pattern, thus now it is all over on varusteleka on different kind gear.

You: *sneeze* Finnish Snow: Bless you.

POV: You just got shot and the last thing you see and hear is jiga saying is “Hellooo :D”

I love Novritsches kreuzotter pattern that looks like nam tiger stripe and it works like a charm in slovenian woods.

I have used the old swedish snow suit (Yes the one that looks like it has been stored in piss for a few days and then cleaned) in airsoft a couple of times and its absolutly crazy how invisible you get when you wear that just before the sun goes down. I have had friends trip over me

I will never need snow camo in my current environment, but I would get one of those pants just for the GONDOLA meme

Congratulations on 1 million subscribers ! 🔥💥🥳🎋🎊🎉🎆

I like how in the beginning I knew someone would be hiding in the background and paid attention to detail and still didn’t see the guy at all

Awesome effort put into those demonstrations - much appreciated!

smoke and mirrors (diamond shaped angled cube, from polycarbonate) partial mirror, its kinda environmental auto-camo suit, works well as well deflects any incoming stuff, all kings

Love how the WW1 Dazzle Camouflage is still relevant today

I voted for that thumbnail!

Great that someone finally thought about people with tactical bellies. With that clever zipper now you can just release it. Its sauna-related I guess

Gratz on 1m🎉!

Sometimes we use regular m05 jacket but winter/snow pants if tree's leaves doesnt have snow no more but ground is still white

must resist the masculine urge to wrap firearms in white tape

The rifle looks like how i would react to a tiger's camo, "well thats stupid. Why does it have weird shapes" then i lose eye contact with the target 💀

You guys should make one video where you show cool camo that people can wear everyday, like helikon or texar clothes

Very nice, I'm in the Rockies at 11,000ft. I think I might have to get some to replace the USGI white.

It’s all fun and games till you hear sisu in the forest

interactive video, excellent!

Thanks for sharing this

The biggest issue with camo in modern times is the presence of thermals. It doesn't matter how well an infantry man is camouflaged, all it takes is one drone with a thermal camera to spot you. Camouflage is still not completely useless as not all infantry has thermals since those are expensive (and you probably don't want your average Joe handling one piece that may cost over 5K)

Well, I saw him before he even revealed himself. Camo works👍 Before anyone throws a hissy fit, ofcourse camo works better on distance
