FIELD OATH Camp Before Dark Patch

Camp Before Dark Patch is about useful preparation: know the ground, check the route and respect the weather. This embroidered patch turns those habits into an original FIELD OATH field-manual graphic.

The centre of this 75 mm patch is a low field shelter beneath a night-watch arc, translated into a clean embroidered form with a dense edge. Full FIELD OATH identification and hook backing complete the piece. No national flag, government emblem or real formation mark appears on Camp Before Dark Patch.

Use the patch on compatible loop-backed bags, jackets and organisers, or keep it as part of a display. The embroidered border helps the shape remain defined against Black or Field Olive fabric. It is civilian FIELD OATH gear and carries no operational, protective or official status.

Embroidered thread sits on a woven textile base, backed with hook material and finished with either a merrowed or clean-cut edge as shown. Detach Camp Before Dark Patch before laundering the host garment or bag. Spot clean in cool water, air dry naturally and never bleach, tumble dry or iron it.

In the Fieldcraft line, Camp Before Dark Patch connects preparation with the wider FIELD OATH rule: KEEP YOUR WORD.
