Back in the day when I was a Scout I was walking out of camp, and was a ways along heading towards a lake on the map with another Scout. I had been blazing as we went with a mini can of orange spray paint, in discreet little single shot squirt spots at eye level, one for going and two for returning. Along came a Scout 'Leader' from another Troop who chastized me up and down in front of the other Scout with me <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Telling me how I was vandalizing the woods, etc. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> He proceeded to take the can from me, and then took out a hatchet and whacked away on a tree as stated in the OP <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> He then handed me the hatchet and told me, "You can either mark blazes the *proper way* ( <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />) or head back to camp". I headed back to camp and it was from that day foward that I realized not everyone knows what that don't think they knows <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

To this day I spray if I'll be in the area camped for an extended period. I spray to the pit, the kitchen and the camp. It'll be hardly noticed by anyone else in the more muted colors I use these days <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
