That Flecktarn pattern is truly camouflage, out of all the patterns on your gear, this one seems to blend in the best. Looked as though you enjoyed your morning in that lovely woodland. When I watch the vids through the year I enjoy the changing seasons , they each have their own charm. Thanks for sharing and stay safe. 🕊

I wonder if I can do that with my 3x3 tarp 🤔 - I’ll give it a go and if it works I’ll make a vid and credit your good self! 😊 Happy New Year to you.

@@frogmaster83 I think the only camo that competes with flecktarn for woodland (not full jungle) is Danish m84 and Finnish m05. Those are basically flecktarn copies designed for slightly luster greener wetter environments....especially the Danish one. The German flecktarn and m05 Finnish stuff look like they would do well in muddy trench warfare too and German flecktarn would probably be better in urban warfare with all the destroyed red bricks used in European housing. Basically flecktarn and its copies rock and look better up close than weird digital stuff
