So I did it, Joined the Multicam Generation
 
I'm not one to jump on a trend... really I resist it at all costs... cuts into my Iconoclastic persona...

Anyway... I have seen quite a few of the GHOSTS leaping around TTAC3 sporting crisp new Multicam BDUs... and I have to admit... I liked the look of it.

I resisted a long time... holding out... I'm old school through and through you see... stuck pretty much in the "analog" age... and thats just how I like my camo...

DPM... now thats a camoflage... all swirly dirt brown and jungle canopy green... it just makes you feel all "armyie" inside, Zip up that DPM smock.. and you can hear Argentinians skuttling under the table...Now thats a warrior's camo.
But no, its all digital now... Cadpat, Marpat, Universal Camo, pixelated...even the Russians are in on it with their OD and Goldenrod Birch... There is no escape.... If you wanna get with the times you gotta go digital.....except for Multicam.

So this weekend I drove to Richmond hill and turned in West Beaver Creek drive... walked in to Creative ... and ( after dithering for an hour ) plopped down $200 + for a full set of Tru-Spec tactical BDU, complete with Boonie hat and velcro festuned ( its the style you see ) ball cap.
And you now what... I really like it... the Gen 3 cut is comfortable full motion, and resplendant with more pockets than a herd of wallabies.

I don't buy the "its too brown" jive.... overall its "greenish" and as for its universality of effectiveness... My wife walked past me twice while I lurked behind the couch before she looked down her nose and said... "I can see you you know....That is'nt more camo clothing is it? I leaped out... saying, Yeah its my new "multicam" , she muttered "multimoron" under her breath... walking away saying something about "living with a 12 year old"

Anyway.. what does she know.... this stuff is cool, I can't wait till my SEALS Action Gear, multicam anorak comes....

Oh god somebody stop me.

MC
 
There is no end to the money we spend for Airsoft Brian. That's the first painful lesson I have learned after being in the sport for a year now. Congratulations on the MC purchase, I think it is a great pattern and very useful in many scenarios. Then again my Airsoft mentors are bias toward this camo style so that influences my thinking :D

I have to agree, the TRU's are pure sex. I'd kill for some Cadpat in that cut.

PS - Camelbak's MC lineup is supposed to be out this month.... and ICE tac's stuff seems legit now too.

Lakonian August 20th, 2007 17:09

V_V; I'm going down that MC route too.. :(

Fucking GRAW.

You know I thought I had Kicked it
 
I admit... I'm a junkie... I had kicked it... years ago I had so much kit.. it was crazy... My first wife hated it... and demanded I get rid of it ( part of the reason why she is my first wife ) I was serving then... so I had an excuse..
I dumped all kinds of stuff... gave it away... Mostly to my Nephews... but they never got hooked like me.

Now the old itch is back... and all the gold bond in the world ain't gonna scratch it....

I gots a fever.... and the only prescription is more gear!!
