Of course, everyone reading here knows about taping your muzzle
to prevent obstruction of barrel whether by snow, mud, or dirt dauber, etc.
The point of the illustration is that the tape can disguise a slimline muzzle brake,
until the rifle is fired once,
for those who are not proud of being caught with a brake on a .375 H&H.

How many wraps does it take to convince someone like you that it isn’t for disguising the muzzle brake?
shrapnel,
I see you have no sense of humor.
Mike Horstman also has two separate wraps of black tape around the stock forend and barrel of his rifle.
I would have made a joke about it being a fine-tuning for proper tip pressure to improve accuracy of his bear rifle,
but figured you would not get that either.
White or fluorescent tape on the end of the barrel,
either longitudinally or circumferentially or both,
makes a passable night sight. No joke.
Jungle jaguar hunters and Alaska bear guides of note have been known to do that.
Wraps of tape around the scope tube is also a good place to spool your tape. No joke.

You are so sure of yourself and call BS on what I said about the criteria for Mountain Men. Nathan Sterner is a producer for the Mountain Man series, he works for Warm Springs Productions and I worked with him on the Custer documentary and he told me that when they picked the stars of that show, they were looking for men with beards. How or why you want to call BS needs to be thought out better before you make such a claim.

Where is your sense of truth?
