kwiky Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 looking good there gadge, thats how i usually apply it (although not quite as well) but like i said, it was pouring down when i did it so i thought i'd put it on thicker than normal, as for the knee pads, i have arthritis in both my knees so i wear medical knee supports under my tousers and they interfere with my knee pads when i wear them underneath, thats the reason i wear them over the top, i agree they dont look very good but i suffer terribly if i kneel on rough terrain without them, because of that im forced to go with whats practical instead of what looks good thanks for the cam creme advice though, with abit practice im sure i'll get the hang of looking british lol regards.......kwiky Link to post Share on other sites

Gadge Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 (edited) I considered it.... By avatar is a little on the 'too little' side. The pic i'd consider just right And *thankfully* i've never knowingly done too much other thna on purpose to teach folk.... no pictures exist anyhow! I have been guilty of doing naff 'tiger stripes' for effect like that bloke of predator for airsoft games but as any serving soldier knows that sort of bum take s far too long and too much care to apply in the field. Get you oppo to slap it on for you, its not a fashion statement! (and for airsoft its less stuff to scrape off in the bath when you get home!)

Lance Jackass Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Gadge, i still love that photo. Very accurate to early second gulf war and afghanistan. Link to post Share on other sites
Little para Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Yeah thats waht i love about DPM it looks really nice. I know that sounds stupid but if you see troops in Afganistahn wearing Desert DPM it looks really smart and cool, i especially like Gadges Multi DPM Link to post Share on other sites

Rogue845 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Top tip for removing cam cream - baby wipes. You can cam up as much as you like and not have to worry (too much) about getting it off later. Link to post Share on other sites
ColDaz Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 That and vaseline before you put it on. Makes it wipe off dead easy with baby wipes afterwards. Link to post Share on other sites
stubbornbugger Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 That and vaseline before you put it on. Makes it wipe off dead easy with baby wipes afterwards. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That'll make you sweat to buggary though. Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 It does make you sweat but then again running round with CBA on doesnt help keep you cool lol when i haded my CBA back in on my R6 and R7 weekend it was still dripping with sweat lol. i use Garnier make up wipes to get the cam cream off aswell.

El_Boomo Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 i was always told foundation was a good one to use under cam cream. and make-up wipes to get it off Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Use a "barrier" cream under the cam cream and Swarfega wipes to get it off. You can get both from a good motor factor. The barrier cream lets you sweat and you don't end up smelling like a woman. Link to post Share on other sites
Grumman Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I rub my face on rocks to get cam cream off...it's because I'm hard Gadge, You are/were in the Army? What did you serve as? I'm hoping to join the RAF next year. Really can't wait. Link to post Share on other sites
kizuna132 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 man i ain't joining army i might join police unless the after are of the British army gets better!! use baby wipes that is all u need unless you just use a cloth with soap on like me but it takes ages !!

DazJW Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I have no idea why you'd want to *albartroth* around putting something under your camo cream - comes straight off with makeup wipes. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Because when you wear it every day for three weeks it starts to ruin your skin, the wind burn dries out your skin and it cracks. Then your cracked skin gets dirt in it. Then your skin swells up and gets sore to the touch. Ouch. Barrier cream stops the dirt and cream and oil (I worked with heavy plant) getting into the skin and bloody hurting. It makes it much easier to get off and easy is good. Any fool can work hard.
