ATACS works better in grasslands than woodlands (I know that it works decently in coniferous forests due to the brown ground and bark). However, later this year DCS will be releasing a woodland variation of ATACS. I'm supposed to get some fabric samples when it's made.
I'll be doing some multi-environment testing with my set once I get it in. Manitoba has a good variation of environments so I'll try and take some pictures in each environment.
As for SORD, a majority of their designs are done with former Australian Special Forces and former US Special Forces guys. I'll be getting a couple of utility pouches from them. Ill be getting my ammo pouches from OC Tactical though, because they kick ass.

They also do ATACS nametapes.
