North East here. Considering we have snow for around half the year straight; No.

not very imo. I can tell you from experience that multicam works a hell of a lot better than fleck tarn In the majority of Michigan. and Ohio, for instance

It's fucking terrible, you can tell the creator of this map obviously lives in Arizona/Nevada/the opposite direction of the NE, because to slather all that area in Flecktarn says they either haven't been there or just don't give a shit.

Coincidentally, the SW/West coast look good.

If they wanted to be lazy and just paint it broad, they should have done it with something that's actually effective in those regions.

I mean, it might work in the western UP in the middle of summer. something with a tan/light green base works best over the combination of deciduous forest, tall grassy field, and red pine plantation enviromeets that make up most of the LP and northern Ohio in my experience though.

The temperate forest regions are seasonal. Missouri here, and like a lot of other states flecktarn is best for spring/summer and multicam is best for fall/winter.

>>33170485
Not at all. Rule of thumb maybe but you don't want to be hiding in sage brush and pine trees with pure tan on. Gray is the only color that works
>>
>>33170485
NJ cuck here, you'll want bright green, not dark (unless you plan on laying in the mud all day, but then you should get a bright green/dark brown combo). Shit you not, mossy oak works pretty good here.

Not that I'd wear it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYL7nwdOYSA

Arizona is all wrong. The Sonoran Desert is lush with cacti, mesquite, and palo verdes. Standard multicam (not arid) is perfect here. Further north in Arizona you get juniper scrub, then pine forests.

I love militaria. I literally go hunting for milsurp like every other week around my state.

THAT BEING SAID

In SHTF there will be hundreds, if not thousands of try-hards in milcam and they will stand out like sore thumbs.

THE SINGLE BEST CAMO A PERSON CAN WEAR IS THE SEASONAL HUNTING CAMO OF YOUR REGION

Literally go into Walmart at different times of the year and grab the in vogue hunters camo. It shifts browner in winter usually and greener in summer. You can also go to Fleet Farm or your region's equivalent. The reason military camo is the way it is is to be effective across the widest range of possible theaters as the military is fucking cheap and big, you are not going around the fucking world killing shitskins. You are posted up in your hometown, use the camo that EVERY SINGLE OUTDOORSMAN IN YOUR HOMETOWN uses.

i live in michigan and i can tell you that camo would only work ok for about 2 months out of the year

Flecktarn is good for like 90% of NC/SC

Any map that has Flecktarn and ATACs on is guaranteed to be fucking awful.

You'd be better off swapping anything that isn't Multicam with MC Tropic, MC Arid, or MC Alpine.

>>33171312
There's some decent soil where the rivers used to flood. There are varieties of wheat and cotton that do well here.

Arizona is too rocky for that camo pattern. Tropentarn looks to be much more effective from a test photo from the Cali part of the Sonora I saw on here a few days ago but regretfully didn't save.

Also woodland marpat doesn't really fit the forests here either.

East Tn checking in and it just kinda depends on the season. Winter I feel like multicam would work well. In the fall flecktarn MIGHT actually blend in pretty well. In the summer time you could almost get away with multicam arid due to the bright green of the trees but normal multicam would probably be the best best. As for spring, multicam is probably best.
>>
>>33172096
Correction: I meant multicam tropic for summer.

I've only ever seen it look like that in the Spring though. Summer/Fall are arid as fuck and everything looks much more barren unless you go to higher elevations and start seeing more Saguaros.

I love ATACS-FG, but AU is just straight awkward.

This is why I didn't buy into the multi-cam meme.

MULTICAM Tropic is decent in my region, but Flecktarn will be always superior in Southern Ontario.

OD > everything else

I would argue that for Arizona, multicam would work better than ATACS AU. Even ATACS FG might work better.
AZ is greener than one might think, it's not just desert.

has its moments, but if the camo isn't totally bad it ought to be superior
>>
>>33172905

The first thing they teach us in the Austrian army, is that OD is so good, because it starts to absorb dirt/dust from the surrounding area and your clothes start looking more and more like the environment.

Anyone who has spent time in the desert/forest knows that your clothes change their color.

Camo is irrelevant.

And that's why the Austrian army is the best in the world right?

Not at all. No concept of seasons, and is no where near granular enough. For example, have fun wearing MARPAT in the desert of Eastern Washington
>>
>>33170485
the woodland MARPAT part of AZ should be a little bigger.
>>
>>33172165
Russians had a design around based on old Nazi stuff called SS-Leto. Got big around beslan but it's less common now.
>>
>>33170485
Flecktarn is very seasonal in Minnesota, honestly. Even though it's not a "military" camo, RealTree shit always ends up being the best
>>
>>33170485
As a NYer, I can say it's pretty inaccurate. It never gets dark enough for flecktarn to really work effectively. You always look like a dark green spotted blob. HOWEVER, Japanese JGSDF flecktarn is nearly perfect color combo. Another contender might be multicam, especially during early spring and fall in dry grass. I managed to completely vanish from people until I started moving, spooked them.

So your a Southern michigander? I'm from the UP and dutch DPM and Flecktarn are king in the summer. Fall time, Flecktarn all the way.

The chart is shit. It doesn't differentiate seasons, and there WAY too much Flecktarn.

In a mixed deciduous forest in the summer, with a dominated canopy and lots of undergrowth, Flecktarn works well. Anywhere else like fields, thin pine forests, meadows, shit like that it's too dark. It's much too dark for winter.

For where I live, which is southern West Virginia, what I'd go with would be:

Spring and Summer - MARPAT for max versatility, Flecktarn if you're just planning on propping yourself up against a tree innawoods
Early fall - Multicam or salty M81
Late fall and winter (no snow) - Multicam or Alpenflage.

Really, if you pick Multicam anywhere in the US, you're good. Certain camos work better in certain niche areas, but basic bitch MC will work well enough anywhere.
>>
>>33170500
As well as East Texas.
>>
>>33170485
MARPAT would probably work in places like Flagstaff or at Lake Pleasant.

Multicam works just about everywhere else here in AZ.

Problem with this map thread is that every chuckle fuck from every state is going to say "yeah that works but what about <obscure milsurp pattern you cant get anything in> I think it works best for <random state>"

The anon who designed this map originally is obviously using a vegetation map and just laying patterns over that. Of fucking course he hasnt visited every single state and tested out camo patterns or something equally as dumb.

Flecktarn is generally too dark for most of the time. Multicam is a pretty good choice for any region in the USA.

I've found that the WWII German Splinter camo is decent in winter when there's no snow.
Alpenflage is surprisingly effective in the fall.

There are two completely different kinds of Washington. MARPAT might be good for the west side, but you're in Multicam/maybe even DBDU territory once you hop the cascades.

for OR/WA draw a line down both states about 20-30 miles east of the cascades then fill in multi cam east of that line until about 20 miles from the canadian and idahoan borders. That is much more accurate than what is there. For those who dont know Eastern OR/WA look like pic related.
>>
>>33177996
this all the way. Just spent 6 months in Seattle and forgot how much better the east side is. No more playing the game of is that a man or a woman, no more shitty parking, no more liberal douche bags, no more shitty rain, hopefully Rainier solves the Seattle problem before it can spread any farther. Would love to see volcanic mud slides fill up that shitty city all the way to the top of Kurt Cobaines heroine needle (space needle).
>>
>>33177971
Also legit didn't even fucking know multicam was there till i saw your post.

Although not wearing my glasses and running a "50 Plasma is no excuse.

I wonder if CADPAT as is or modified a bit would work better for Eastern US?
>>
Not really. Shadow grass blades or white (snow) would be more accurate for the plains. ND to KS. Western Iowa and SW Minnesota.
