Testing the effectiveness of Snow Camo

We had a fun day of testing the effectiveness of different camouflage patterns in snow environment.
M05 winter camo was supplied by @varusteleka

Big thanks to Sellier&Bellot for supporting our broke asses with good ammo :)

love the scenes where you let us try to spot you shows how well it works quite effectively

Everyone knows that when a Finnish sniper spots you, you are ‘finished’.

I live in a subtropical place that never snows, but this is still very interesting to watch.

On the road shots you could use the Finnish army trick of summer woodland M05 jacket + M05 snow camo pants. That way your legs are blending to the snow on the ground and from waist up you are blending to the trees that have little to no snow.
Works very well when viewed from a distance.

The old Finnish M62 field uniform was intended to be used inside out in snowy terrain. There were pockets both inside and outside.

The pattern of the hat is named pakkaskuvio. Meaning frost or freezing pattern. It is meant to be used exactly how you described the mixing of camos. We can have snow camo on depending of environment or the frost pattern for foresty thawing areas

You guys DESERVE more subscribers man. Even though you mostly “cater” to the younger generation, there’s ALWAYS a lot I get out of it too..at 62. STILL young @ heart..and not quite as agile. Well, not even close really. Y’all have one of THE BEST channels, “gun-tubers” or not..awesome stuff!

Playing "Find the Camo soldier in the picture" was good fun :)

I remember the winter of 2010 when I was in the Finnish army and we used the m05 winter camo. When we were walking to the shooting range it started to snow and it was almost impossible to spot the guys walking ON THE ROAD ~50m in front of me. Couple a little snowfall with the very limited daylight hours finland has during the winter and you get yourself an extremely potent camo pattern.

In Norwegian army we very often wore white camo on the legs and not on the upper body. We found this to work well in mixed snow/forest environment, and reduced inconveniences and overheating.

Late springtime we used only snowpant coverall in finnish army, because there was snow only on the ground. All the foliage, trees and other stuff were completely snowless, so best performing combo was using normal m05 pattern on top, and using snow coveralls for the legs. Of course the snow coverall jacket was there with you, if needed for the mission. Served in recon unit so blending in for the mission was always part of preparation.

tbh in the army we had suspenders on those Snow M05's so I think its supposed to look like that. Also we put our gear on top of the snow M05's. The Readiness units usually camo their rifles and rigs atleast in the Jäger Brigade.

[neffels]

here in estonia during some times of winter we wear snow camo pants and woodland camo tops so when youre standing or crouching your legs blend into the snow and your top blends in with the trees

[stevep]

When Ziga was practicing his shoulder rolls in the snow, all I could picture is him continuing to roll, accumulate snow, turn into a giant snowball, and blasting through a wall at the bottom of the hill like the KoolAid guy. "OH yeah! Tactical snowball entry FTW!" 😂

Polenar team, I know you can make this happen.

[CallofWar]

Definitely one of my insta watch channels. Fun, informative, and right to the chase. Love you guys. I'm still fawning over your squad blitz drills from years ago

[radzik]

Manca in this white pants just make my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[lancesmith]

In Alaska the Native scouts where white pants and a camo top. Really blends with the tree line.

[razt]

This video was great, amazing how you can seemingly disappear once you stand still.

[Kesssuli]

Those camo test were really nice. Movement is easy to spot in close but add distance and things arent that simple.
Add some wind to move trees and maybe snowfall and only two things you will spot are named as Jack and Shit.

Could see more videos like this how camo patterns works and how to hide man in plain sight.

[FatJack]

Use white camo pant’s. Upper body regular uniform/camo . Snow on ground but not in trees/ backround
