I still like tiger stripes and one odd broad leaf camo pattern I saw SF use. Another really good one was simply a dark charcoal grey (no pattern to it). Never saw so many different patterns of camo

Riding outside is old school, they started doing that in AStan.

@Gary_Totty yeah i loved the tiger stripe camo but once it became more weathered it’s camo effect dropped, the NVA found it easier to spot soldiers wearing it and referred to them as the “Zebra men”

@Neo riding high was popular in vietnam particularly on M113’s. if they hit a mine everyone inside was turned into hamburger, even with the improvised additional armour of sandbags and C-ration boxes will with dirt.
