  • Learn to apply camo correctly like a Ranger and to Expert Infantry Badge standards. Having a blotchy mix of camo is not how you want to Veggie-Up! You want dark colors along features if the face to give the appearance they are flat. You want lighter colors on sunken features to make the appear to stand out. This, overall gives the appearance of flat features to blend into a woodland environment and breaks up the human face.

      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*

    This is by far the best camo video I've seen on youtube, it gets the basic points right. One suggestion to even improve your camo further: Apply light color first. If you do that, you can then simply go "over" the light color with your dark one, and if you applied light "generously", the darker one will blend in straight away without creating edges. I suggest you try it and compare the results.

    Nice and straight forward. I always went with this style due to how quick you can apply it, and only requiring two colors. Green and Dark Green. An OD cravat around the neck helps reduce how much camo you go through.

  • @jeffburnham6611
    @jeffburnham6611 2 года назад +6

    I hated applying the camo with the sticks they provided because I had light-colored hair, which stood out at long-range. I had camo way up into my hairline. If the helmet didn't cover it, the camo did. Getting it off later was never fun either, and many guys soon developed rashes from the irritation of constantly having to apply the stuff. I'm sure there have been advances in face paint since the mid 1980's, but back then, the sticks were all we had. If you could heat the ends with a match it went on easier, but most times it was just put on as is.

      @RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft  5 лет назад +17

      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.

    I was trained basically the same except to use a bit more light green in the areas that tended to shadow such as under the bottom lip and where the nose meets the rest of the face. I was also told no straight lines across the face. So the brow would have been half dark green and half brown. I was also told no black. You can blend black with green or brown but no straight black.

      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.

      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.
