    One unmentioned form of camouflage occurs in Season 9 during the reveal of the Whisperers. If you recall, a horde was approaching Eugene and Rosita. Unable to run away due to Eugene's injured leg, they use mud and dirt as a way to hide their scent from the approaching horde, as they then hear the whispers for the very first time.

    You could probably make a small horde of pets, the more the merrier, and get them to carry stuff, or even carry you along in a cart of some sort.
    Like a walker version of husky sled dogs.
    Imagine if after time you’ve built up hundreds of pets and just ride them round the country without a care in the world, hidden within hordes.
    That’d be wicked.

    What I’ve always come to recognize is that the difference between the Guts and Whisperer Skin techniques have different results based on what I’ve seen in the show. Guts obviously has the blood on you and you completely separate the walkers attraction to you. What I’ve noticed with the Skin Mask however is the fact that the Whisperers managed to actually herd the walkers! I’d like to believe that’s because the Walker is tricked just enough to see that what is in front of them is a fellow walker… but because the survivor is not covered in guts, they still smell like human! Just enough that Walkers will faintly follow that scent only to be second guessed by the Mask.

  • @dimitries
    @dimitries 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    I could be wrong but the sense of smell is separate from the ventilation process your lungs create (CO2 removal). The olfactory nerves for smell are ran by the brain stem.

    It’s weird because when people camouflage themselves if they walk like one of the dead they will be left alone but as soon as they start doing human actions the walkers will try to attack it’s shown in the episode where Daryl fights beta as soon as the whisperers/beta start climbing up a blocked stair case walkers start trying to attack them same with when Negan started to talk the one he was trying to gather found out he wasn’t dead and tried to attack

    Daryl wearing a hoodie also covered in guts is probably the smartest/safest play in that scenario. Like I don’t understand how Aaron, Rick and Glenn can have their faces completely clean and come face to face with walkers and not get attacked. Luciana smearing her face a little really shouldn’t be considered as canon, but I don’t think she was getting close enough to the dead to try and blend in with the horde.
    Also the way the whisperers seem to treat the skin masks probably helps with the influenza problem.

    This is one of the interesting parts in the series. Especially the skin suits as used by The Whisperers. I wonder whenever it rained, would the whisperers mask lose the rotten smell if it got wet? Also, Nick put tons of that walker blood on his face and I’m surprised he didn’t get sick like Gabriel especially how close contact the blood was on him. I guess he just got plot armor like half dead Morgan did lol. Very interesting video tho!

    if it was me i would be using pets and skin but not in the form of masks because the pets can be used to carry gear and the skin can be light armour and camouflage but the only issue is it needs to be dried and i would think doing that would take the smell away from it also from real life tribes making things from human leather it takes a whole lot longer than is shown in the show, TWDEXPLAINS did a video on that but i don't think it is up anymore, i also have a theory on how the pets work and it is because they have bloody open wounds from cutting their arms off and destroying their jaw

      But how for zombies that are still out there after 10 years as a lot were shown to be skeletal, almost to the point all organs would have rotten off, including the brain. Means they shouldn't be able to hear, smell or even stand up without any of the basic functions. Not to mention, they can determine the exact distance to grab a person as well.
      Basically, a walker after 10 years would be like a vegetable, no sights, hearing, smelling, feeling or even spatial awareness but they keep on going. This makes less sense than Romero's explanation of space radiation.

    Hell yeah, I was just trying to explain these mechanics to some friends recently. A part of what makes TWD zombies unique in zombie lore.
    Another topic that comes to mind, not sure if it's worth an entire video or not, is how people (mostly Whisperers) are able to control hordes of zombies. The mechanics for hordes in general are interesting to me, how they attract stray walkers to grow the horde and how/why they move like they do.
    Love zombies.

  • @rocioquiroz11

    I loved how Nick in Fear used blood to camouflage into walkers as i had always complained in TWD that in a near death situation no one used this strategy unless the writers wanted them to. It'd make sense overtime the rotting blood and flesh could make someone sick but they knew about this trick since season 1 and if you just used armor and mask over the blood i think youd be fine.
