The very best camo is your natural surroundings.
I agree. I hate open woods and I like brush of some kind.
A few years ago I took a few camo T shirts to the woods in the winter and hung them up in several spots on coat hangers. Both in the sun and shade. I would step back to 20, 30 & 40 - 50 yards away and look at them. I didn't hang them in open areas, but areas with brush or structure of some type. The camo I used was ASAT, predator, realtree, mossy oak, and military BDU's in woodland camo. At 30 to 40 yards the ASAT just disappeared, sun or shade. The predator was a close second. The tight patterns of realtree and mossy oak were just a dark blob at any distance and the farther away you got, the worse it got. Needless to say, I don't wear those anymore. The military BDU's in woodland camo works great in early fall when there's leaves.
