TESTING NIGHT CAMO 2
TAKING NASTY AIR FORCE ABU SAGE CAMMIES AND MAKING THEM INTO USEABLE NIGHT CAMO.

I liked the old tiger stripes. It wasn't great camo prolly, but it looked cool as hell. :)

Took the dye much more than I was expecting! Like the look though. I was surprised in the second experiment when I saw your legs come in to the light. I could see movement but, thought you were further away than you proved to be.

Great experiment! Glad you added some green to hue the black a tad.

DNCamo, MAS grey, and Ranger Green colorways work fantastic at night.

True black doesn't exist in nature even at night. The dark colors we perceive are actually shades of green, blue or brown.

Even art teachers will scold you if you use pure black for shadows or night scenes (makes your paintings look synthetic or tacky...there is always a touch of color even in the darkest of dark.

I dyed a set of desert tiger stripe camo, worked really well.

Brent0331 would be very proud. That was a very good camouflage job.

IDK, the cat tracked you pretty well.👍

Interesting. I would have thought that old fashioned olive drab would provide a reasonable compromise between day-time and night-time situations. When we were kids playing hide and seek at night slow movements, silence, and not being silhouetted by any light sources was more important than what we were wearing. But it's still fun to experiment.

I use different variations of Tiger Stripe. Light tiger to a dark tiger. I use it when hunting or hiking /camping. As for the bottom pockets on the utility blouse, I sowed them inside of the shirt on the otherside of the breast pockets, I no lobger have that blouse but I always worn it in the field and never gotten B**hed out for it. I had a seemstress out in town make the alteration for me in Hawaii, I think it was the town of Kaneohe, anyway I followed the British smock with it, not knowing that is what the Brits did. Yes, I own the British DPM smock.
I may make that same alteration to my Tigers too. Just another old 0311. " Semper Fi!" Brotherman I enjoy your videos.

Black isn't a naturally occurring color. My suspicion is that the best thing for night cammo to defeat the old Mark 1 eyeball is to break up any repeating pattern or unnatural shape. I'd use a bunch of grasses, leaves, pine if it were in the area, etc. Think that's more important than the color. The test would be to sit in that lawn chair just at the edge of the light at the end and see if we can pick you out.

I actually like the AF 'tiger stripe' pattern - I find it does fairly well in rocky desert terrain of the Southwest. In any other environment the color needs some adjusting as you've done a few times. I don't know the history of the 'gray' color but it reminds me of the jet aircraft (F4s, A4s, EA6s, etc.) color scheme during the Vietnam War - a light/dark gray. The Army's UCP is a more 'digital' looking pattern in the same color scheme. I've never understood it but likely to have an NV/IR basis? Anyway - good set to experiment on! You were invisible!

I have several cats who I see frequently out at night. The black and white cap and saddle tuxedo cats you can see but you can't tell what they are by their shape. The black cats disappear good enough but the most invisible cat at night is the stripped ginger cat. They say red is the first color you loose sight of in the dark. I think your night camo worked well this time because as you walked up I could not make you out for the longest time. Black dyes are always based on a color and I wonder if rit dye black has any red in it. I think that because your previous batch you claimed turned purple and purple is red and blue mixed. I have recent experience dyeing with rit powder where I dyed wool roving. I put the roving which is cumbersome in a piece of surplus military mosquito netting that was pure nylon because it never changed color and dyed the roving that way because if you mess with wet roving too much it will felt together. I did like you and put salt in it for the wool and used hot water and a few times I had measured the weight of the roving with the amount of dye and had clear water after I dyed it but this did not work on all colors but mainly on the black and red there was extra color in the dye water.

Great job !!!
You should put other camo patterns on, and do the same, walking around, so you could show us the differences.
Keep up the great work !!!
