I heard that Finnish M05 summer camo actually works really well in tropic as well.

On the road shots you could use the Finnish army trick of summer woodland M05 jacket + M05 snow camo pants. That way your legs are blending to the snow on the ground and from waist up you are blending to the trees that have little to no snow. Works very well when viewed from a distance.

The full snow camo is mainly for mid-winter, especially further to the north where the trees are also covered in snow. More often than not you only use the pants.

Manca in this white pants just make my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Late springtime we used only snowpant coverall in finnish army, because there was snow only on the ground. All the foliage, trees and other stuff were completely snowless, so best performing combo was using normal m05 pattern on top, and using snow coveralls for the legs. Of course the snow coverall jacket was there with you, if needed for the mission. Served in recon unit so blending in for the mission was always part of preparation.

I remember the winter of 2010 when I was in the Finnish army and we used the m05 winter camo. When we were walking to the shooting range it started to snow and it was almost impossible to spot the guys walking ON THE ROAD ~50m in front of me. Couple a little snowfall with the very limited daylight hours finland has during the winter and you get yourself an extremely potent camo pattern.

tbh in the army we had suspenders on those Snow M05's so I think its supposed to look like that. Also we put our gear on top of the snow M05's. The Readiness units usually camo their rifles and rigs atleast in the Jäger Brigade.

Definitely one of my insta watch channels. Fun, informative, and right to the chase. Love you guys. I'm still fawning over your squad blitz drills from years ago

In Norwegian army we very often wore white camo on the legs and not on the upper body. We found this to work well in mixed snow/forest environment, and reduced inconveniences and overheating.

In Alaska the Native scouts where white pants and a camo top. Really blends with the tree line.

This video was great, amazing how you can seemingly disappear once you stand still.

Those camo test were really nice. Movement is easy to spot in close but add distance and things arent that simple. Add some wind to move trees and maybe snowfall and only two things you will spot are named as Jack and Shit. Could see more videos like this how camo patterns works and how to hide man in plain sight.

Nice, very intresting video. There are a lot of intresting patterns of camuflages 🤩🤩

Besides the straight Snow camo head to toe, the Finns also use the Snow trousers/ bottoms and their Woodland top/ blouse in combination, also works very well for diffusion/ profile breakup in principle and application. I really like the M05 Snow camo but I wish it had Brown speckled in with the Gray, that would be nearly perfect then, alteration as needed is easy enough though. The Gear Aid brand self-adhering Fabric camo wrap work exceptionally well and matches the M05 Snow pattern extremely well (i've done a video with it and a home-made Snow camo system, my area is very similar to Finland in Winter).

Those loose overgarments also help break up human shape. What I really noticed is that movement outside of concealment really gives you away. Camo is helpful, but it's not an invisibility cloak. I really liked your weapon camo. Wrap and bits of tape is my go-to for rifle camo--speaking of which, would you consider a compare/contrast video of tape and paint for weapon camo?

Movement is the problem. It's really easy to lie still with camo and facepaint. But creeping closer, thats the hard part. I served in Finnish long range recon unit, and our job was to be invisible. I can't even explain how carefully slow you have to move to remain hidden. Human eye is excellent for spotting movement.

I always feel like camo really shines when you see it at a distance. Up close, some of the shots were wicked in how well it blends and others pretty obvious. Back up like 30-40 yards and you're invisible. I'd do a gag video of "landscapes" and camo

I have recently seen a Norwegian force doing some NATO connected drill, and they had dark woodland type camo for the upper body, and snow camo for the pants, which blends really well in boreal forests. And was also kinda stylish.

When the forest starts speaking Slovenian.

Dang, that camo really works

What I discovered in airsoft of all things when there is snow on the ground = just plain white pants and camo jacket of your choice works like you would not belive if you want to to even beyond, even plain white pants with ghillie green top give you almost 100% camo in a winter forrest where there is snow on the ground and the the "background" is more green than white "

Russians already knocked off M05 winter overwhites made from cheap nylon over 10 years ago so they can use them for false flags. We bought a bunch of them to see how they look and perform. They get really wet inside from sweat even in -30˚C, so they suck to wear. The Finnish winter gear allows sweat to vent out.

The classic german and swiss flecktarn are great examples of cammo that doesnt look like it will work but yet it completely disappears out in the field.

You can also use military poncho raincoat with desired camouflage pattern on it but it won't cover your legs. Also works great to camouflage a shelter, tent, equipment since it's waterproof. It's lightweight too.

I've been told that turning the M05 uniform inside out for winter is an intentional part of the design. It does absorb water like these guys absorb alcohol, so its not ideal for lying in snow, but I guess it works in a pinch.

Nice camouflage, Polenar Tactical.

This video is a good example of how difficult it is to stop someone in camo. Despite knowing he's there 100% and knowing he's close, it can easily take like 5 seconds to notice him. 5 seconds is enough for him to spot you first, take aim and mag dump you.

interactive video, excellent!

M05 was made with tens of thousands of pictures taken all over finnish forests in different seasons and I think an AI assisted was used to generate pattern based on tones and how much of it is usually around. It wasn't trademarked or protected because you would have to submit the design entirely and there were concerns the data would leak. I would imagine every year the pattern is regenerated and compared to M05 until the environment has changed enough to push the move to a new pattern. (Global warming for example would change that winters are less snowy) Well I think around 2010's something the pattern was copied and sold, FDF wasn't able to sue because they didn't protect the pattern, thus now it is all over on varusteleka on different kind gear.

I like how in the beginning I knew someone would be hiding in the background and paid attention to detail and still didn’t see the guy at all
