And that's a fine approach if you're hiding from gun toting pot plantation types.

Now me, I prefer a reasonably bright color, particularly for my canopy, because I just find it
lighter and cheerier. I certainly do camo if I'm out killing things - but other than that on the off
chance that anything happens and people are actually looking for me, I'd rather not make
life any more difficult for SAR people to spot my camp - or me - one of the reasons that unless
I'm packing a gun and have reason to stay hidden - I don't hike in overly muted colors.

hey, Phat, was it my "uglying up the view" remark that got you going? I was thinking of your "lighter and cheerier" choice of canopy colors when I added that line in there, just to evoke your ire. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Like Earthling says, "we fall like a moth to a flame". But you sure dive bombed that particular flame at Warp 10 speed. ("Scotty, I need Warp Speed!"...

By the way, when I need to blend in I use bright and cheery colors too... at the beach. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

But for drug runner infested beaches I use this:
