You learn in war really quick that things that make you stand out...
Shiny on the shirt collar, the machinegunner, the radio etc...
Not good.
All those guys who want to run around in Cammo and warpaint... Will stand out while the guy in jeans and the earth colored shirt will blend right in.

That 's right but this is a fool thinking he's a hit man, not war. A arm chair hitman no less, trying to scare me into paying a few grand so he won't come keel me
The best way to scare me is to kill me.
Twice I have pointed a .45 at people naked, and I mean naked except for the gun and my 4 earrings.
So far no one has stuck around to see if I was really serious or not
I just say get the "F" outt a' heya' and it 's silence, and gone.
In paint at events, where I am supposed to be in paint grown men get weak in the knees, women swoon and faint (really), and little kids just open up and cry real tears. Moden man is just not used to seeing warriors in paint, whether or not I am a warrior, and whether or not I plan to hurt someone which is never.
Now I don't mean everyone does this as most people don't and are very ammused at my paint and antics. One odd thing that happens is at some events I know the enemy and scalp him.
It's his real hair glued to sheep hide and that hair is tied to his pony tail. Long hair was typical in 1756 French and Indian War.
I use a real scalping knife, and show it to public raised, yelling, then stick it in the ground next to the guys neck, and remove the scalp, get my knife back, and yell more. Next i roll the 'dead guy' o ver and peel off his regimental 'Justicore' and put it on.
Last I steal paper shot blanks from him, because usually I am low or out
Before the public sees me close up I have painted with the same paint the scalp. They seem to think it's real, and often want it in any pictures they take.
All I know is people are strange....
In my past hunting in buck skins during regular hunting season, I have not been seen or mistaken for a deer. You can bank on I know when other deer hunters are around before they if ever know I am around.
Once in modern gear hunting black bear I had a problem in the rain wearing a black rain coat, and a bear hunter was following my trail. I was leaned up on an apple tree and when he came to a low calling distance I said hello, and that guy about jumped out of his skin.
I know the science of being hidden in any jeans and shirt in the partial open and not be seen.
As a wee lad me and some of my friends stole a wicker wheel chair out of a barn to roll one another down the hills in the medow. The cops came in cars and we all ran into the woods. I was the only one they didn't find, but the chief stepped right on my fingers. I might have been 10 then. When I was 5, I was shot by a bowman for a deer, and that lesson stuck hard.
No one I don't want to see me does, and sometimes people don't other times when I don't care.

Even if you didn't know how to use all those "primitive" weapons, the fact that you romp around in full garb probably has the other guy thinking "This dude is freakin' nuts, he could do some seriously unpredictable stuff" which is just where you want them ROFL
