While this is likely mostly appropriate for catastrophic meltdowns it can also apply to hunting, avoiding detection and kick-ass games of hide & go seek.
What camouflage type is best for your location?
I have three main types of camouflage BDU's in my rotation: 3-color desert (DCU's), 6-color desert (chocolate chips) and old-skool Woodland's from the 1980's.
Here they are in the general vegetation type common in my area. I hope to get out into a pine forest too see how they perform since there's so much pine in this area. But this is a good start for a discussion.
Woodland, 6-Color, 3-color. I didn't realize the woodlands on the left were obscured by a bush. That said, you can see that even been relatively new they blend in nicely. Coincidentally the 3-color desert's fell in a pocket of sunshine and seem to radiate. 6-color's not so bad.
3-color, woodland, 6-color. Here both the desert schemes seem to do a little better but the woodlands blend nicely. Picture taken at 15 yards.
Same group from 30ish yards. The woodlands disappear. 6-colors do ok but the 3-colors again stand out like a sore thumb.
3-color desert, 6-color desert, woodland.
Once again the woodland's on the left are flat gone at 20ish yards. The 1990's vintage chocolate chips do ok and the 3-color's radiate in the sunlight.
Depending on what happens later today I'll try the same thing again once the sun goes down. But early returns are indicating I need to snag some more woodland BDU's for my stash.
