Congress had the army look into dying their UCP gear a few years ago to try and salvage the $100s of millions of dollars worth of brand new UCP gear that was apparently going to be wasted, and a couple of images of some example dyed pieces were posted on the internet but it seems that nothing came of it. I've observed Army and National Guard members simply wearing ever decreasing amounts of regular UCP kit with no dyed pieces making it to actual issue. But, the handful of photos of the dyed pieces that I saw showed the dyed color was in a dark brown/gray color and it looked like they were trying to approximate Ranger Green.

Ranger green works pretty good in wooded environments but only as a base. Too much of the same color turns you into a blob. Contrast seems to work well, which is why I dyed my pouches different shades and colors. Same for the pack/ruck. However, too much contrast like in multicam and you have chunking. Multicam looks like a yellow blob in the woods but OCP works okay if your pattern has a good chunk of brown or green. Just never saw true universal success like I have with MARPAT

@@doitriteak I've been experimenting using a mix of Ranger Green and Coyote pouches with my old woodland BDU uniforms along with a few pieces of surplus German flecktarn and I think the results are pretty good. Ranger Green and Coyote blends well with both woodland and flecktarn and brings some balance between the two different patterns. I've completely retired my old UCP gear and its all in boxes, shoved to the back of the closet. Its the passing of an era.
Awesome! Nice to see ya on here man!!
Excellent video thanks
This looks great. I do not live in Alaska but the location I do live in the winter can be rough sometimes, with that being is there footwear and clothin that you can tried that seems to work well in a winter environment while not being static?

That is subjective to the environment. No snow or snowy and then categories of snow depth and temp make all the difference.
Ever going back to anchorage?
