Multicam Tropic Camouflage Effectiveness 

In this video we look at the effectiveness of MultiCam® Tropic camouflage pattern in a Woodland Environment during the spring/summer time (North Texas woods). This video will consist of numerous scenes where each will begin with a concealed stationary position (both with & without the use of vegetation), followed by a movement phase out of the initial position. The purpose of the video is to give the viewer a chance to see the individual camouflage pattern and how it looks and blends into this environment. There will be varying degrees of how much of the uniform will be exposed to the viewer. Some scenes will only expose little more than perhaps a hat, while other scenes will have virtually no vegetation covering.

I like to watch these camoflauge videos on 'expert' level by setting quality to 144p.

It's like where's waldo, but with useful information.

2:06 I'm dead and half my fireteam is wiped out by one guy before we even know where he is

Could not see you in shadows. At all. As soon as you stopped moving, again you blended back in. Impressive.

Thanks Brent!!! I don't know anybody else on here who has spent as much time over the years as you Brent to show different camo pattern.

Love this channel man you do great. One question, where on fucks earth do you get all the money to play with all this stuff lol!!

I see some people don't care for MC Tropic, but I like it, if I was going into a tropical jungle warfare environment this would be what I'd be wearing.

I live in the UK, and I find multicam tropic is highly effective when I go bird watching, it blends in much better than British MTP. I have trousers (pants), and a ubacs combat shirt made by Bulldog tactical, baseball cap, and I also incorporate a A-TACS FG neck gaiter, and Mechanix wear original multicam gloves. I wish that Mechanix would make multicam tropic gloves

Fun for the whole family. My 3 y/o daughter spotted you all but once. Now I know who to train when she gets older. New eyes make the difference, I guess.

Compared to other camo patterns, and considering the shades of foliage, I’d say this is Very Effective camo. As always motion/movement draws the eye to it, but again, this camo works!

@2:05 JUMPSCARE

I'm new to your channel. I think what most of your early commenters miss is the value of watching these videos just to train your eyes to look for anything even remotely out of the ordinary. The testing of the patterns is great, but the target aquisition training is the true value here. Thanks.

I just started watching your content and started with the enemy weapons video from a couple years ago. I'm really glad to see you're still making videos, especially the enemy weapons one. I'm about to join the USMC (currently in the DEP) and I'm glad to see stuff like this.Very educational, thank you!

This is just insane man. Really nice video. Very effective camo pattern in this type of environment. Extremely impressed.

Slow . patient and deliberate movement is just as critical as color and pattern in concealment.

Thanks dude I appreciate you doing this video I've been asking you for awhile and is pretty badass camouflage

So Multicam doesn't really Multicam. You need different Multicams😂

Would be interested to see how that dark multicam tropic pattern does here in Hawaii, where the cloud rainforest vegetation is a darker shade of green compared to the light green plants in your woodland terrain.

Very awesome and effective. Digging the ambiance and wonderful scenery.

Multicam continues to impress me - I thought it was very effective here! Thanks for another awesome video, Brent!

This is the best once I've seen so far. Just as good as the woodland camo.

I don`t know how it is possible I didn`t see this earlier. It is as good as old woodland in y opinion. Thank you Brant.

New to your channel. I never was a soldier or even own much camo but your different videos wearing various militaries camo gear are very interesting. Glad I found your channel. Subscribed👍

Thanks so much just bought a set from govx last week excited about what I’m about to watch!!

Thanks for the live demonstration. Might save a few lives in the future.

I think this is the best one hands down for this environment!

Man I love Crye patterns. Multicam Tropic works amazingly well here in Canada too.

I like the MultiCam Tropic in that environment. Good canopy creating lots of shadows. Thanks.

The first frame I almost didn’t see you, jarring Ordering a JPC in MCT and some G3s rn! Thanks bro!!! Ehreh!

This pattern set looks sick. Can’t wait to complete my own set.

MC Tropic works perfect. Its my favorite camoflage.

Great Job, Man. I love all your videos!

John is an amazing man.

very cool. thanks for bringing us these videos even though they do not get a large amount of views

Thank you for making such a thorough video

Hahaha had the sound all the way up and made the lady next to me jump when you took the 1st shot. Man you were blended great just during the intro. This stuff works great in green environments

As always!! Outstanding!!! Gunny!! Rrahh 0311 S/F..

I am always so impressed with your ability and incredible skill to blend in to the environment! Marines are truly some of the world's best soldiers!

Works very well. Thank you for doing this pattern. 😎🇺🇸

This works extremely well in the Boreal forest in Canada. It’s all evergreen trees so dark green year round aside from when there’s snow on it. Also the largest forest in the world and for the most part logging companies can’t touch. It is very much the frontier through most of it. There are just simply no roads. Keep on keepin on brother, your videos are phenomenal

Great video Gunny!! Keep em coming Brother!!

It's like an updated version of the old woodland with the black replaced by dark green.

I haven't even started to watch the video , but when I saw that it was about tropic multicam ,YES!!!

Outstanding vid with the multicam effectiveness of, but some poor fool could die of a heart attack just bumping into you out there in the bush,..lol !!! And as always thanx for your top notch videos, just so well made & informative,..Really liked the gear you reviewed at the end, really rugged looking gear,..I've never been a fan of velcro & have been modifying my pouches for a more silent way of opening & closing & opening it up again without that ripping sound, especially if one found themselves in a stealthy situation...Again thanx Brent 0331, i think you are one hell of a Marine as well as a great American....

Works pretty good as long as you stay motionless. Slow movement makes it more effective. Interesting, a lot better than the former digital stuff... wish you a good 2024 and all your viewers...

Great video as always! For whatever reason on most shots it looked like a dark blob, to be honest I was expecting it to be much more effective. Guess no pattern can beat old soviet KLMK for the given environment.

as always, great content with great presentation...always educational!

Solid Camo. Great video.

Thanks for the video, brother. This camouflage is good for the forest. But the second most effective after woodland. In my opinion, woodland is number 1.

Very cool. I enjoy and appreciate these videos you put out.

Really nice Brent, very useful vid as always, cheers.

Thank you for all the great video and also the non bias on the camo and hooraa thank you for your service

HI Brent, Man, I do like this Multicam Tropic Camouflage design for our Texas area. It Blended in very well. Like I always do I run these video's several times and really study them. If, Something Happens-it would be a good choice to have on hand. Thank You for this choice and All the other's you show us on video.

I was internally debating between Multicam Tropic and A-TACS FG-X as a camo for more green environments. Your videos helped me make a decision so thank you! This variant of Multicam seems to be a tad too dark in some cases whereas in your A-TACS FG-X video that camo seemed to always do fairly well and appeared dark notably less frequently. Multicam Tropic seems like it would be best suited for literal tropics, hence the name I'm assuming, where there is much less light in the jungle environments. I'm eager to try out the FG-X come spring time, I'm hoping it does well!

Girls: let’s go on a nature walk! Boys:

Fantastic. Ive been using tiger stripe for years guess its time to invest in some multicam tropic

Finally you got it, I have it for a year ago !!!!

I have a multicam-tropic patrol hat. I feel like its better than multicam in general. Great pattern.

Another great presentation. Thank you

It seems that this video is around a years old. Maybe you will see this and respond with either a video or reply. Love what you're doing

One big advantage multicam uses is the white/off white splotches. This drastically aids in depth perception fooling the eye to think it sees the light coming through from behind the soldier. Each camo is designed for mainly a specific area and even time of year. This does work well.

I really enjoy your videos. In my opinion this is even a superior to the Vietnam tiger stripe pattern which is the only pattern that I have given a 100%. The first clip got me to wonder, but you had demonstrated later that you just had the camera a few yards too close.

You’re a mind reader! I was just wondering if you had reviewed this pattern, and you already posted it a few hours ago!

Great uniform brent great video.Thank you Im learning alot

Another great video!

I like that pattern. Very effective.

Maybe you can try Mossy Oak Original Bottomland in the future. It looks like it draws a lot if inspiration from military camo. Awesome video as always.

Nice camo. I'm gonna look into getting a set

I wish there would be like a network of spin off channels who test the same camo in their different environments. Someone should start a facebook page and coordinate gear sharing in pursuit of the overall goal of the group. That would be really cool.....

despite being dark green, it seems like it matches the dark soil and shadowy backgrounds better than the leaves

I really like how you conducted your test. a lot of other people just set up the camera, push record, take a few steps in front of it then stand there in the open and ask how their cammo is working... ...its not..

Outstanding!

The tropical variant is definitely more effective than the standard multicam pattern in this environment

Thank you for the information ℹ

Thanks for making this video.

MC Tropic is excellent cam for most places not just jungle....way better than standard MC....which is really desert/arid.....glows like the moon in the green stuff.

Love this camo....

Hello buddy 😁. Dpm for me all the way. But your pattern is good for the area your in. That's what the kit is for. Great video buddy. Thanks for sharing mate. ATVB Andy

Nvm I just found this series and went through a couple videos before this one without hearing you shoot at all in them. Needless to say I almost threw my phone when I was zoned in trying to find you on that one clip 😂

I think it works great in the shadows.....great video. I'm still attached to my Atac FG....just because of the enviroment I'm in.

Tropical Multicam, Polish camo, and Flektarn are pretty good as well for Foreign camouflage patterns.

Love these vids man. Closet space had to have been a topic at least once in ur home with all the fucking patterns u got bro! Good stuff keep’em coming stay safe

That multicam seems more green than mine. Mine is Tru Spec brand and seems a little more coyote tan colored. Mine works VERY WELL in the winter woods of Western Kentucky, but, I always switch back to woodland bdu come spring.

I found you over 70% of the time. Reason: shapes (usually the hat) and "density".... you were more color-dense than your environment. It's a good pattern, though. I live in FL and my # 1 pattern is M80 Woodland, followed by Multi-Cam Tropical, with simple OD Green being a surprisingly effective 3rd for my particular area.

Holy shit I skipped to this part 2:00 of the video and I was looking for you as a challenge and I guessed pretty close but not exactly on the spot and then you shot and scared the shit out of me. Really puts forest/jungle combat into perspective...

Very effective in the green, naturally enough, and also in combination with the ground and so, even if it is not green. Sort of in the same field as Cad-pat, Russian Digital Flora, Danish M84, Swedish M90, Ukrainian Jaba ("toad", "polyova" or Field Toad "light" green version.) and other mostly green patterns (those I could remember just now)(Ok, of cause also A-TACS FG + IX, Czech VZ 95, SPECTRE from Russian company SSO, and original Tiger Stripe, maybe, though TS also has a lot of black in it too. AHHH so MANY different camos!!!). Maybe not as dark as eg. M84, with black in it too, though, but darker than eg. Jaba for sure. The only problem, (if one can call it that?) with these very "micro" pattern based camos is, IMHO, that even on quite short distanced, they look like a "single" or "mono" color, in this case green, as the exact pattern fades away, and colors blur into one another, and in such cases they are very similar, so distances cannot be that long. In contrast the French CCE or of cause 3- color or 6- color desert, Russian SS-leto and so, they are more "makro" IMHO, :o) but maybe easier to spot on short distances or through binoculars, scopes and such technologies?? Good pattern definitely though for green environments. Good work as always. and nice day!! :o)

A little dark at times Brent , but cool pattern . Chest rig soaks in with it well too. Good video .Thanks. Atb Darren.

I never loved Crye patterns as a base, they do make a nice pattern for accessories because the multicam is "multi" and works pretty ok anywhere, even in the desert as you and Bruce showed in the Nevada footage. Multicam patterns do not seem to break the human sillouhette.

When your exotic variant(tropical) outperforms your standard camouflage(OCP) you know you've done something wrong. Wouldn't actually mind if the Army just straight up switches over to the tropical variant as there standard. Ever since I saw it for the first time I just knew it was leaps and bounds better than OCP. Great video BTW.

Bout good as Canadian cadpat. Thought the old brown ERDL actually better in a lush green environment. We have a hard time getting our greens to match the environment, they always seem darker than the surrounding veg. Great vid as usual.

Brother Brent, if I had to pick between Multicam Tropic and Rhodesian, I would have taken the Rhodesian anytime, however the multicam tropic is out of place in the Texas woods. Good video, Brent at least you are showing the pros and cons of all camouflage patterns, keep up the good work bro.

Awesome videos sir. What about doing one that talks about sleeping in the field with different sleeping gear, tents etc etc.

Takes me back to my army days as a cavalry scout. 🇺🇸👍😀♥️

Again, a real world version of "Where's Waldo." great upload again. Thanks!

Definitely your usual high quality Brent. That MCT disappears nicely in those woods. Question: Isn't it true that movement (or lack of it) is a huge factor in camo and concealment. Once you begin to move regardless of what camo you're wearing the human eye is drawn to that movement and makes the camo less effective, right? I imagine that a slow low crawl would be the best for when you aren't in a hurry. Also, it always depends on what environment you're in. I guess s smart man will look around for positions that will make best use of his camo.

Works pretty good. I only found you once.

Ive been meaning to see how this fairs in Florida. The environment you use seems close enough to it where I might invest in it.

now that is some good looking camo pattern. nice big areas and good color. i am not one that agrees black has no place in camo, but this does a great job without the black.

This camo is impressive it would be great for the woods in pa.
