I remember a long time ago when I was young, I would wear different camo and hide in the woods. I would have my dad come in a few minutes later to find where I was. After failing EVERY time to hide from him I asked what his secret to finding me was. He said "Easy, I look for your boots (boots were black), if I do not see your boots, I look for the BLACK in your camo (West German Fleck)" He did a good job of finding me with the look for black method. I switched to solid OD (still too dark) and earth browns until Multicam came out.

BTW I am not a "noob" I do not airsoft. Airsoft is cool, I mainly come here for the camo and gear pics and advice. Also black is not natural in nature with the exception of some animals. Bears are SOO easy to see in the wild, same for pigs. The "black" you see in nature is what your brain is filling in as black. If you take any color found in nature and put it in that shadow, your brain will fill in the space in as black. Put black out in the open with light on it, and you WILL draw fire (atleast you would from me). The dark brown in multicam works like black but fades into the lighter colors when in the open (look at my first two pics). In my view (and I have good eyes) since 1986 when I started hunting with my own gun at the age of 12, black in camo was not what I wanted, 20 years later I am happy with the new camo out there, and some ARE better than others.

Black will never be a color in any of my camo, and I will use the look for black method when I start doing a little paintballing this summer. I can tell you now that 20 years of being a predator in the woods hiding from animals that want to live and not be my next meal has made me good at stealth and ambush. From what my brother tells me about paintball (he hunts maybe 1-2 times a year, thats how many times I get out a week) is easy because of his time in the woods................

Remember, look for black, and you will see opfor before they see you, unless you got more black on than them.
