Can we settle on an NJGF uniform and vest color?

 

I was thinking TRU-SPEC trousers and shirts in MARPAT Digital Woodland with Olive Drab belt, shoes, and combat vests. Right side: American flag + NJGF, Left Side: Flag of NJ + Don't Tread on Me.

 

not a bad idea

Plus, where else are you gonna shove your mags, radios, gps devices, etc.?

Anyone else buy the limited time Adidas "Don't Tread on Me" hat? The US national soccer team also has their own version as well (printed for the 2006 WC). The Adidas version is pretty slick though, and it was an immediate buy when I saw it at my local Dick's:

Always need some headgear

No, but I want one-- are they still for sale at Dick's?

I still haven't been to dick's in brick yet, is it nice? or just like the one in Freehold?

Multicam FTW. I already have a set of TRU-SPEC ACU cut in Multicam as well as a TRU-Spec MC Combat Shirt.

Yeah... but multicam is more for Afghanistan's surroundings. A woodland camo is more befitting of NJ.

MC is good for a variety of environments. It's not quite optimal for woodland but it's ok. I can't stand digital marpat or UCP. What really works well is 2 camo patterns that I have - PLA Type 03 (Tibetan Flecktarn) and Asian Tiger Stripe.

Very cool - just ordered one online

Maybe we can have a forum vote... a runoff for official NJGF camo pattern?

Multicam is designed for just about any environment, in my opinion Woodland is too dark for anything but the deep woods. I have a set of Multicam that I use for both Turkey hunting and on the occasion I play paintball. I think it works great and apparently so do the US special forces. Now even the UK is adopting a custom form of Mutlicam.

i already have a plate carrier, battle belt, pouches, etc. in ACU......i really dont want to buy another set just to fit in the club.

 

keep in mind camo doesnt work against zombies. they dont see you.....they smell and hear you.

Woodland doesn't work.

 

Asian Tiger Stripe isn't too bad.

 

But holy heck Tibet Flecktarn blends!

This is what Ill be wearing.

 

 

My vote goes for MC, though, I'm in the same boat as Echo-- with a lot of my stuff being in ACsUck. The ACU is brilliant in conventional warfare from my understanding as its whole point is to mess with imaging and other eye-in-the-sky elements... and, honestly, when it gets a bit dirty and faded, it does tend to blend in far better. But it seems like Big Army is getting the point, and they're currently field testing MC in Afghanistan-- and should be the new camo soon enough.

 

The thing about camo is not really its ability to manipulate the opposition's field of view, but to manipulate the user to its surroundings. Its the reason why a lot of people will paint their rifles in a certain manner, or designated marksmen will utilize ghillie suits and canvas on rifles. Not to necessarily blend in to the environment, but to break up artificial shapes and colors (like the color black or block shapes). So, by mixing, say, tan pants with a earth-toned shirt, and than a green vest/rig-- while none are technically "camo," it can offer the illusion of breaking up the shape... so that human's brains doesn't automatically associate what they're looking at as a person or rifle necessarily. My point being that there really isn't a perfect camo, just the philosophy behind it that is important... though, MC is ridiculously effective

I'll be different. My vote is for A-tacs.

It looks like water-colored MARPAT

Its so darn good.

I think MC is great in environs like you'll find in the MidEast or out west. For NJ? Aside from when it hasn't rained a lot and the lawns start going yellow, there's just too much green and brown to make MC effective IMHO.

I'll go OD, easily adaptable to any situation. Camoflage is about fooling the eye, easy to do if you know how. But the Zombies will be able to smell you.

i did say this also.......other then raiders and human bad guys, zombies wont care if youre wearing blaze orange.

Where in NJ will we find such rolling, sandy hills?

Like... this kind of brush and trees is what I normally see in NJ:

 

 

Outside of the suburban housing areas and lawns, most woods areas look like this.

 

See, look as this guy pees on a tree:

 

 

I've played plenty an airsoft game in MC in the region (NJ/NY/PA/CT).

As I've said, its not about the set of colors necessarily, but how the pattern creates a discomfort in the opposition's brain-- allowing for the appearance of camouflaging. MC with its colors of course will not necessarily blend in with green foliage, but seeing how, even in the woods, it is not washed out in green... instead there are mixes of dirt, bark, etc. So, the MC pattern gives the illusion of blending in with aspects of what the human brain would associate with the "normal." Would MC be more effective in rocky or sandy conditions, yea, maybe-- but only because it tends to work in the same manner as camo is suppose to work (as noted above).

But the Zombies will be able to smell you.

That's exactly whi I plan on wearing khaki cargo shorts and a red Hawaiian shirt after all the raiders are dead.

That is, until you encounter someone who's been looking to hunt down the zombie of Charlie Sheen...

Watched War of the Worlds last night and while not a "zombie" flick, it's certainly an apocalyptic flick which again refocused my efforts on preparations.

heres an idea forget the camo because we will be so efficient at killing zombies they wont be close enough to see us

The camo is not for the zombies... but dealing with other survivors.
