Camouflage Clothing and ex-Military gear - for or against?

[garethw]

I've never been a camo fan, have the odd real tree T shirt... but I actually really like the new MTP Multicam... Got an issue Goretex jacket and Windproof and must say they look fine...
Over here in France MTP is not army issue so won't get mistaken for a renegade....

cheers

I like the OD but I also think that everyone should have a set of cammies just for the Zombie apocalypse....when it kicks off.

I've just realised, having thought I had no items of military clothing that I do

In fact I have half a dozen

Am I a Walt?

Only if the socks are all you are wearing.....Red Hot Chilli Peppers style lol

The only money I get is from pocket money or birthdays, so I look for stuff that's cheap but hard wearing and tough, and in earth tones. So usually I end up with surplus. That said, I like the look of DPM and am a cadet, so I guess I wear a fair bit of camo. It does annoy me when people seem to mistake me for some kind of teenage soldier though, but I probably should see it coming.

I only use it if I am going on a camping weekend, and even then, it tends to be used as sleepwear if I am roughing it (so to speak). I never wear it out and about for day usage. If I am sleeping next to a campfire, without a tarp or ground sheet, then ex military stuff tends to be the best thing to wear for bed as it is reasonably windproof, and with a proper coating of wax treatment, it is waterproof as well. Does the job nicely.

Hi. I have always used military gear packs, belts, field gear and webbing. As for wearing it, I have never had any problems with comments etc. Even if I did I don't care so tuff to them!
Wear and use what works for you and don't worry what others think. End of!
