  • In this video we look at Desert digital MARPAT and its effectiveness in a woodland environment during the fall and winter. This pattern was designed to be used in desert and arid environments, but in this video we see if the pattern can also be utilized in this one.
    (this video was shot around late October in North Texas)

    This camo works well in its intended environment, but I would say not so much in this one. I think the woodland MARPAT would be a great choice for all year (except in snow, of course) due to the brown base color.

    I'll venture a guess, you launder your camo in a modern detergent that has brighteners, in sunlight that marpat shines like new money.
    test= In a dark room hit your camo with ultraviolet. (blacklight) I think you'll see what I'm saying.
    I'm with the other posters, picked you out about 75% of the time.
    Good video thanks.

    This pattern works for what it is intended for and you show the contrast against green vegetation you stand out otherwise you blend in. I still like the Coyote Tan video where you really blended in.

    Are you planning videos of woodland MARPAT, OD and Multicam in a fall/winter environment?

    • @Brent0331
      @Brent0331  10 лет назад

      Probably not man, I had so many desert and hunting patterns to get through and my time has been limited lately from work/fam. Spring is right around the corner and I think even if I wanted to I probably wouldn’t be able to get them in before the spring kicks in. My initial thoughts are that they are just going to be too dark for the environment during this time of year where I am. I’ve actually have already done a MultiCam in the fall/winter video though, you can find it on my channel by scrolling through the videos, or going to the “Camouflage Effectiveness series” playlist I have on my channel.

      @petesheppard1709 10 лет назад

      ***** : Thanks for answering. After watching the videos, I've started looking at the Alabama landscape a little more closely. With our heavier, temperate woods, there is generally less green undergrowth, so the darker patterns should work better here year-round, where they will blend with wood and ground.

    Hey Brent have you ever heard of ATAC or US4CES Camouflages? If so what is your opinion on them? I like them a lot better than UCP, but hell anything is better than UCP. I was thinking of getting a pair of US4CES or ATAC BDU's, but I think I might stick to the old school Camouflages like Tiger Stripe, ERDL, 6 Color Desert Pattern.

    • @Brent0331

    • @Brent0331
      @Brent0331  10 лет назад +13

      If it bothers you that much there are a few things you should take into consideration. First, is the blouse faded some, yes. But so much so that it is pure white and unserviceable by Marine Corps standards, no. In the opening scenes I have direct sunlight hitting me which is causing it to look very “white”. You are probably comparing the blouse to the trousers I have on. We’ll the trousers are a pair of USMC FROG trousers that I wore in Afghanistan and I can tell you that the color of the FROG suits are slightly darker than the regular utilities (brand new & old) probably because of the different flame resistant fabrics used to make them. Starting at 3:53 I’m not even wearing that blouse anymore, but a FROG shirt. So if you are questioning the integrity of the test based on the blouse alone, it is used in less than half of the video. Go to 8:25 in the video for my closing statements and you can clearly see the effects of light exposure on the uniform on my right side compared to my left.

    Better than I thought it would do. When you went to the K-Pot, it hurt you. That roundness just stuck out. Still overall, not too shabby of a pattern.
    Love your comparison vids, btw. You should get a couple buddies and do three different patterns all at the same time in the same location. Three man patrol with three different patterns, because you do different unis but at different times of the year and in different locations.

  • @rex3453
    @rex3453 10 лет назад

    I'm kind of torn on the effectiveness of this pattern in this environment.
    There were some where it was painfully obvious where you were at, due to me easily spotting the boonie hat and your arms, but at the same time, I think if the distance was just a tad greater, I'd be easily fooled.
    However, the majority of the time I had to do a quick scan twice or three times to find you. For a pattern that wasn't made for this environment, it performed surprisingly really well!

    • @Brent0331
      @Brent0331  10 лет назад +3

      Thanks man, I would concur that there are better options than Desert MARPAT for this environment. After all the pattern is intended for a desert, not a fall or winter woodland environment. Surprisingly though, other desert patterns are pretty effective in this environment i.e. 6 color desert, & desert Tiger. I’m going to do desert DPM soon as well, hopefully that’s a contender in this environment. I think the 3 color desert pattern would probably have similar results as this one.

    Do you preffer the FROGs or MCUU?

    • @Brent0331
      @Brent0331  10 лет назад

      FROG hands down with body armor such as plate carriers & flaks. A regular blouse if your slick with just duce gear on. The reason I say that is because the inner shirt on the frog top is like wearing a t-shirt, after awhile the straps of regular duce gear start cutting/rubbing into you. You don’t have that issue when you have a plate carrier or a flak on and the benefits of having that moisture wicking, heat escaping shirt on do wonders.

    • @MastiffTactical
      @MastiffTactical 10 лет назад

      I agree with Brent, I cook my ass off every time I wear my flak with my MCCUU blouse but the FROG shirt is great for the flak however, if you're just wearing a chest rig or an LBV or FLC you want the blouse because 1 it has the camo in the middle and that'll help you camouflage a little better since you can see your chest and back with the lighter gear, and 2 because its thicker so the straps and belts don't rub your skin so badly

    Lighter browns are always better than darker greens, or any green base for that matter. This worked well in that fall, very brown but also, very bright environment. I wonder how woodland digi blouse would do with desert trousers. Question, do you think our woodland marpat looks too similar to Russian RATNIK camo?! Dominant greens like USMC wood and Russian Ratnik...and dominant browns, like Multicam/OCP. We can see how a multitude of camos causes things like colored duct tape around the bicep.

    Either my computer settings are wrong, or this camouflage pattern does not work. Easily, I spotted you in all but one setting, the setting in which you were completely covered by standing brush. I can see why our military is eliminating this pattern. Woodland camouflage remains the most effective pattern you've demonstrated, followed by the chocolate chip desert pattern.

    • @Brent0331
      @Brent0331  5 лет назад +1

      The Marine Corps is not eliminating Desert MARPAT. Its a desert pattern, some desert patters like 6 color desert are effective in a woodland environment during the winter, some aren't. This pattern is effective in a desert, but not necessary effective in this environment.

I wish I could have joined the Marines instead of the Air Force, but USAF was the only service to offer me a hearing waiver. I've learned much from you. I look forward to more. If you have a recommendation for the cream of the creams desert camouflage, please share here. I'm likely to live out my life in Arizona. Standard woodland will be great in the Sedona-Flagstaff area; but if I end up in the rest of the desert, I would be grateful for your recommendation.
