my experience of hunting with flir, is when animals disappear into thick brush, you lose the heat signature, and unless your taller than the brush you cant get a positional fix on the animal unless there are large enough gaps to see through, flir is best in open country or from an elevated position with sparse or well spaced flora or tall wide open forest,
Very good info thanks. I particularly like the bit about silloete and movement. Good point about wildlife. When I walk around the outdoors there is a population of pheasants and also Hawkes - both very observant and wary creatures. When I see a hawk on a fence post or a pheasant calmly sitting on a log it puts me at ease as (as you alluded to) they indicate less chance of other people in the area. Great video thanks 🇿🇦 🇳🇿
Very good clarise in fact brilliant. Just a tip if you dont have cambo handy a mosquito hood works well or xambo netting oxford type, if can be stuffed with foliGe, and cover yoyu. Lofty wiseman wrote the sas survival manual, its true today as then, worth aread. I like this aort of thing, you know your craft. Well done.
Very good information. Couple ideas possibly to add are move in 3 to 4 second intervals to avoid a moving pattern. This can be observed by watching insects moving across an open area. Material used for hunting are usually soft so they don’t make noise when rubbed together. Nylon windbreaker or rain pants are very noisy. To try moving while being tracked by infrared from above would be almost impossible. Infrared tracking works best at night, tge ground is cooler and warm objects show up much better. When trying to spot scuba divers approaching your ship when docked, you look for bubbles although there are tanks that can be used that re-use the expelled breathing, avoiding bubbles. Snow gillie suits are different shades of white. Polar bears are excellent and concealment in snow and will track their prey for days without being seen.
Hey there! Thanks for sharing about the crows. Really interesting. We don't have a lot of them around but I find birds in general are a great indicator. C
I've went with military surplus as far as camo! Shiny boots are a no, no. Burlap is a great camo! Take pieces of burlap and tie it to the bottom of your boots to hide shoe patterns!
If you notice predators in nature . You will see that they are counter colored. What would be in shadow is lightened , and what would be in light is darkened . ie: belly color light tones back colors darker tones. This helps break up the shadow / highlight problem. Something to mimic in hiding the human outline. Having a pocket of sturdy rubber bands makes veging up easier and quicker to switch up.
Buttons with some hutchie cord tied round the button so two lengths hang down. Makes attaching small amounts of foliage easy, and you can place buttons strategically according to your needs. IE, not to foul a bow string. Too big an amount of foliage or too long allows it to bounce around... a dead giveaway. Hope this helps, thanks for taking the time to post.👍 Universal Sovereign Citizen
Lol I grew up bow hunting and spent 15+ years in the Army as a scout and infantry...camoflage isn't just what you're wearing it is also your body language, utilizing terrain be it in the forests, cities or in a crowd to conceal yourself. I've had Rangers walk past me so close they almost stepped on me while I was doing OPFOR at JRTC...also don't stare at whomever you're trying to hide from it will give you away

Very interesting thanks for sharing. I suppose there is validity in 'stacking' of vegetation then too. C

Hey there! Thanks for sharing. It would be an interesting read. Will see if I can get my hands on a copy. C
Another Great video.

Hey Jack! Thanks so much for this, all very interesting considerations. C
If you were going to download any video on camoflauge, this is the one.
Very comprehensive and right on the money.
Thank you Clarice.💜👍
You are welcome! Thanks for watching! C
Well done and well said. The crows are always the first ones to let you know if someone is around or let the deer know you’re in the area.👍🏼🍻👊🏼💯

Not always...birds of any type are a good indicator as they will flush when disturbed by movement
Why are you trying to conceal that big brain. Good video very informative. Always learn a few things from your videos. Keep up the good work.
🤗 Thanks for watching! Glad you found value here. Have a super day. C
Link does not work unfortunately
Hi there! Thanks for your comment. Which link are you referring to? I'll have a look. C
Do you pack bug repellent; what works and what doesn't?

Hey that's a good idea. I've started on a camp site concealment video and have included hessian as part of the concealment. It adds great texture. C
Or put socks over your shoes/boots

Hi there! Thanks for adding this. I like your rubber bands input, it sure cuts down on time. C
You need a hand with six fingers 😢 great video!
