Urban Camo

If you live in a city then woodland camo might not be your thing…you might be going for more of a Batman look as in Batman Begins. If you are prepping to bug in then some of these patterns may be for you; after all, going out at night might be the safer alternative. I don’t much care for the urban stuff as it has a limited working environment and is all but useless during the day, but it might just be your cup of tea. Also check out my other camo databases below and let me know what you think; and like any database, I will be adding to this as I discover more patterns.

Universal Camouflage Pattern

The Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP), also referred to as ACUPAT (Army Combat Uniform PATtern) or Digital Camouflage (“digicam”) is the military camouflage pattern currently in use in the United States Army’s Army Combat Uniform. The pattern was chosen after several laboratory and field tests that occurred from 2003 to 2004, although it has recently been established that UCP may well have been adopted without field testing against other patterns. Its pixelated pattern is a modification of the United States Marine Corps’ MARPAT camouflage pattern which is simply a re-coloured version of the earlier Canadian CADPAT scheme.

CUEPAT (Canadian Urban Environment Pattern) Trial Uniforms

Securetech-CUEPAT-1_small

CUEPAT-1 version-1

Printing by HyperStealth, Uniform Assembled by DropZone Tactical.  The pattern is based off of a series of polarized flows, Horizontal, Vertical, and 45 degree angles used subtly with the VTM colours to help simulate common urban building practices, the scale of the pattern has also been adapted to break the human shape to conceal detection and movement.

Securetech-CUEPAT-2_small

CUEPAT-2 version-2

Printing by HyperStealth, Uniform Assembled by DropZone Tactical.  This is the unconventional pattern in field trials, previous computer simulations showed this pattern to be quite effective for both outdoor and indoor urban environments. The perceived depth within the pattern throws off the ambient and focal vision from noticing the target.

    Hey Jon,

    It is true, particularly in ‘developed’ countries, the urban environments present a different composition of terrain and colour facets to those of the natural/wild landscape, and the more basic human settlements (mud huts in Africa, white wash in the Hellenic isles, and stone faced structures in the middle east etc).

    However, it is possible wide area deployment single loadouts could be developed in the same way as MTP was for the challenges of Afghanistan and the Hindu Kush.

    In the meantime, if you require camo for red brick and white beams, may I recommend brown tweed jacket and breeks with a white check shirt…
    par exemple; “http://www.cotswolds-visiting-tailor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Barnsley-House-Tweed.jpg”

    Sincerest.

I’m a guy who cares about his family. I want to make sure that those I love have the tools necessary to survive. In my own life I’ve seen the benefits which food storage and self-sufficiency have provided for my own immediate family during times of financial strain. Most of my own experience comes down to farm life, foraging in the woods, scouting, military service and combat deployments; to name several of life’s major building blocks. Not only do I want to share, I want to learn; so give me your insight. And while I do my best to ensure all information is correct; let me know if any corrections need to be made.
