Can you help me pick retired army gear for hunting, /out/?Reason is that I tried looking for hunting clothes and they were seemingly expensive and really shitty, mostly made from >80% plastics. I remember back when I was young and would buy them for cross country hacking, uniforms were decent almost all cotton or polyester with cotton lining in the least and not too pricey. Other than that ripstop weave, good pocket size and distribution amongst other things. Even the buttons/zips were huge which would be a huge boon with gloved fingers.So I'm wondering if anyone happens to know off-hand which winter gear is semi-effective camouflage that isn't in current use?
>>2857570Gayest larp thread. No, we won't help you.
Sad LARP thread.
>>2857577>>2857575What would I be larping as?
>>2857575>>2857577sad gay posts made by men who chug cum.>>2857578its not larping if you are hunting. If you are dressing like a hunter and not hunting you are indeed a massive homosexual.
>>2857570Having a hard time tracking what it is you’re looking for. Are you looking for sources of milsurp or are you looking for milsurp like stuff/replicas?As far as winter camp for hunting, unless you’re hunting birds, camo really isn’t that important as long as you’re not wearing bright colors. That said, j just wear a white anorak wind breaker over my actually insulating layers.
Not larp, because 90% of hunting trousers are fucking garbage these days. They break down after a year or less and make insane noise. Went for wool but the durability is nothing impressive.
>>2857570you might get shot wearing this, but comfort is unmatchedaround 160$ of rabbit-fur clothesincredibly lightweight, a very comfortable warmth, almost like you're covered in a the feeling of a cat sitting on your lap
>>2857947it consists of these items;collar/shawlponchosleeveless jacketa series of rabbitskin gloves DIYed into sleevesthe sleeves and sleeveless jacket aren't attached, so you end up with free armpits which airs out the whole outfit when moving, but keeps it warm and air-tight when not moving
>>2857570Just get whatever milsurp is available/cheap that fits you.Dont worry about what pattern/color it is.Then buy Rit Dye thats in a color shade for whatever environment you plan to use it in.I did about a dozen sets- started with colors for different seasons (deep green for spring, brown for autumn) then got bored and did shit like a blue set and a red set (for pic related).
>>2857570Picrel is the only milsurp worth buying. I'll also entertain arguments in favor of wool blankets.
>>2857570>mostly made from >80% plasticsThe overwhelming majority of surplus is nylon cordura or ripstop or other flavours of plastic. This is because plastic is objectively better for military use cases. It pretty much has been this way since the 90s but not sure when it trickled down to surplus stores.Also most technical surplus (e.g. not larp) is just over-priced now.>>2857856Rhodesian uniform quality was not very good, sort of unrelated but just to point out. Camouflage t-shirts were exceptionally common, all other uniform bits are typically very thin fabric (no not just "but it's coz muh Africa"). Dyes fade easily and misprints/poor QC are common.>>2857939If you can get over "muh plastics".SADF nutria brown field trousers are great, all SADF surplus pretty much is a really nice thick nylon cordura kind of fabric. They're a bit overpriced from most vendors now though. They were good when they were $30(ish).Austrian surplus is generally good, so is Dutch stuff from the 1960s/70s (can't speak for later stuff) and has little plastic use.
>>2857570Similar but more focused question, anyone know of any good modern parkas/smocks/jackets in SS camo? I’m not sure whether I want Erbsenmuster, Eichenlaubmuster, Platanenmuster, or Rauchtarnmuster. It just being a decent jacket or parka would probably be the deciding factor, I’d like it to be practical so I don’t want an actual repro.
>>2857570Just use BDUs if you really want army shit lol
>>2857947whathe?,,hooHeeEEEEHA!,howretarded.,,,,i wanthis.
>>2858310>SADF nutria brown field trousersThey seem nice, I'll try those.
>>2857947Care to post more pictures of the outfit? Im very interested on using this as a reference.
>>2858456you can see my t-shirt/armpits become exposed to the air when moving my arms, it's nice so your clothes don't get sweaty and you get some fresh air when movingi also have some sheepskin pants, fur underhat and overhat but couldn't be bothered putting them onjust random stuff I found over the years put together into a fur outfit
>>2858468don't get me wrong a single layer of rabbit skin won't keep you warm through the night but it is very lightweight and lofty, my wool sweater weighs more than all these rabbitskin clothes combined and I'd rather be stranded in the cold with the rabbitskin outfit than the sweater
>>2858469we can see the light through the fucking closing anon, you are just larping and never went out with this didn't you ?
>>2857947>>2858468>>2858469Incredibly based caveman mode.I bet it's agony when it gets wet, though. Not really practical for snow.
>>2858469I don't know if I hate it or love it, keep going.
Wool leather aerogel
>>2857570Any online Army surplus store is going to have what you are looking for. Just search Winter or cold weather issue.
