    Camo is fine but it’s really your face that gives you away when you’re hiding in brush. You want to break up your body silhouette with twigs and leaves and change the shadows and bright spots on your face with face paint and then you can worry about camo.

    Also you aren’t hiding from anyone with thermal cameras using just camo and paint. Keep that in mind if you’re going up against any modern military force.

    For most of us, it’s not worth it to pay for a whole second set of gear when that money would be better spent on Magic: The Gathering cards.

    lmfao

      Hey, some of us saw that coming miles away and decades ago —and were already drowning in gray plastic creep. 😅

    I think it’s more important to focus on patterns that disrupt AI/automated image recognition software vs what blends in with your natural environment. The current fight is in the streets not the woods in my opinion. I feel dazzle camo that has historically been used on ships would be good for fucking up facial recognition tech.

      I agree that would be good too. This video would likely only be useful if things eventually move towards a troubles-like situation, which hopefully we can still avoid with other tactics, but still seems good to know and prepare for just in case.

        I agree this is useful info hypotheticallly and honestly I love learning about camos. I hope this will never be relevant, but I’ll make this information readily available if it comes to it
