I do agree that the “dummy” shape will affect the way it stands out. It would be ideal for me if all of them were exactly the same. Since they are set up and taken by so many different photographers the constancy is hard to keep. In some cases, the pants and jackets from the same brand are taken in different lighting and appear different. Thanks for the comment. I am trying to improve always and moving forward I am trying to find examples that match shape.

@CamoMatrix That was simply my opinion based on my eyesight! Your doing a great job! My comment wasn't met to be disparaging. TAKE CARE.

@joeescobar900 oh, absolutely not taken that way. I appreciate the observation. It all helps.

It is one of the top patterns and is often affordable.

I have the manual and will check if that is even needed on this machine (different machines might need it) . The pistons that pushed the pads into the disk to apply the breaks were in the same housing as the fluid reservoir/diff case. When i would start the machine, I would press the break petal and feel the hydraulics kick in and stiffen the petal.

It may be one of the most advanced camo designs out there. The designers depth of knowledge on colors, reflection and the how its design adapts to the is surrounding environment may be the best in the biz.

From what i have learned in my research is that you can’t go wrong if you are “close” to the general color of the environment. Check your fabric for UV brighteners, have a little foreground and background cover and move as little as possible.

mixing a macro and micro pattern like that might be the way to go

Strata is a good all around camo. Pretty reasonably priced also.

Thanks for watching

i have an old soft shell bow case in that. Good stuff!

Very kind of you. I am always trying to improve. Have some cool things coming in the future.

Thanks for the comment. And i will pass your ditty to the Camo Matrix viewers. And credit you. For the animal world, if you have time to set up for them with that in mind, they will never see you.

It is fascinating to see how each brand approaches a pattern and how their design process happened.

You are correct! Great Eye. That was a glitch in the Camo Matrix. Hard to find now unless it is used.

I will get the plan up on the website

The plan is here: camomatrix.com/2024/06/13/custom-turkey-call-box/

Sounds like a great idea. From what I can see, they see like an ungulate; not the best clarity and have 300-320ish degree fields of view but see color like we do

Absolutely. Nothing beats knowing the forest, knowing your prey and hunting smart.

Altitude would be a good one

Great information. It is amazing at how the sun can make you or anything you have on contrast the surroundings and make you look out of place.

I always tell people that the sun can be your ‘frienemy’ for sure

The pump could be different but if the worm gear in the pump isnt catching that could be a problem. the pickup tube could be blocked in the bar chain oil compartment also.

@@CamoMatrix Hey! Thanks for the quick response. I checked the exterior port where it feeds into the bar slot/oil hole and cleared any sludge. I’ll have to empty the oil from the tank and check that as you mentioned. I will also look into the worm gear. Thanks for those suggestions. I took a peek at an exploded view of the parts on on an online parts website. I may try to disassemble another decommissioned 120 that I own (and have been slowly removing it’s working parts and putting into in my working 120) to see all the involved parts and see if there’s a clog somewhere in there. I will first run the saw with the bar off as you displayed near the beginning of your video to determine if it’s clogged before or after the tank. No point in removing parts unnecessarily. Do saws’ bar and oil tanks have a filter inside the tank like the fuel does? Or it usually just accessible from the clutch/sprocket area as you demonstrated?

You will be interest in an visual experiment i have coming out soon.

@@CamoMatrix I’m not saying what your doing is good for people that care about that stuff or bashing u I’m just saying far as it helping u not being spotted by deer it don’t matter iv hunted in about everything besides being buff naked and you don’t get busted by what you wear

@@lancebounds1895 No worries here and I understand what you are saying. If you watch many of my commentary vidoes, I always end them with a version of Fred Bears saying, "the best camo is to remain still and be quiet".

@@CamoMatrix that we can agree on for sure 😂

I will get that going soon

Thanks! I have almost all hunting camo on here and have the camomatrix.com tools too

I have found that a few brands can have fabric or glue used by manufacturers that are UV brightened that can slip thru quality control. I always check. One run may have it and another may not. Hopefully that is the case and it isn’t the whole line.

Yes, experiments I do show that many camos looks very similar and playing the light, shadow and surroundings (foreground and background) are your best bet. Buying a hunting garment to keep you hunting longer more comfortably should be a priority over the particular pattern. Hunting camo does affect the psyche of the hunter and if one feels confident in it, then confidence goes up in the hunt. If one blames their camo for your failure, perhaps other there are other issues. Solids have been used successfully for much of the human existence, if you got a good thing, keep it going! Thanks for the comment!

@@CamoMatrix you make a great point about the psyche of the hunter. That easily gets overlooked in these discussions. Thanks for the video keep up the good work!

Thanks. My videos have improved greatly from when I made this one. If you want anything compared, let me know. I now have 24 backgrounds, i have solids and better camo movement. There is also the camomatrix.com tool.
