Hey yall!

Was googling around and stumbled on this thread, and i was pleasantly surprised over the amount of people who seem to love our M90 camo! Ive got to admit that as a milsimlover i kinda shuddered at some of the reprostuff though

I do love the camo though, and in woodland environments its worth every penny spent. A few months ago i was on an OP during a swedish 48h milsim. I was lying down about half a metre off the road, in a patch of grass (No bushes or anything) in the middle of the day waiting for a patrol of danes (Yes, in Danish flecktarn, or "Dane-tarn" as we call it), that our forward OP had reported incoming. The danes were friendlies, so we were instructed to warn them when they got close so they wouldnt jump around and start shooting everyone. (Danes have weak nerves, probably due to bad genetics

) So, along the road comes 5 danes, and apparently they've seen movement here before, cus they're twitchy as all hell, stock to shoulders sweeping left to right as they approach. They get to within touching distance when i shout out "Friendly, friendly", leading the pointman to swing around, unsafe his weapon and come within an inch of firing straight into my face... He stands like that for about 2 seconds, then he lowers his weapon and shouts "Fucking swedes and your M90! Your bloody impossible to see!!"

Sorry for that longish story, but i got so touched by your love of my camo

Us swedes are blessed in the regard that many people do mandatory service in the army, which leads to alot of M90 (and other) gear floating around. Thats how i got my full kit (Some i "collected" during my service), buying it off people who used it, or got hold of it from the army.

Anyways, good luck with the camo out in woods! I hope it serves you well. Oh, and a few more things!

To the guy that had an arktis harness in M90, it might be swedish issue, there were a bunch of test examples done in the years before 2000 (when we got our Stridsväst 2000 battle harness), and ive seen tests with that vest before.

Oh, and if anyone of you need any swedish issue stuff, M90, shirts, patches (Atleast some) battle harnesses and the like, throw me a PM or better, email me at captain.general AT gmail.com, i can get ahold of most stuff fairly cheaply (its easier when you actually live here :P). Or just if you have any swedish gear questions!

Take care!
