In an earlier post in MYOG, referring to tarp tents, someone had mentioned:

"I am guessing that camo would be a very bad color to use for camping in crowded areas"

is camouflage camping a faux pas? ive always preferred drab colors to bright, especially when camping. for one, it lets me be seen when i want to be seen, and not when i dont. for me, it also fall along the lines of leave no trace. if i can be 10 or 20 yards off the trail, and hikers/animals can walk past me without ever knowing i was there, it seems like less of an impact.

i can understand why people wouldnt want to be associated with the military or hunters, or would want to be identified by hunters as human, but in areas where there is no hunting, are there other good reasons to use day-glo tents and gear?
