What is your favorite single color hammock body for blending in to your surroundings?
What is your favorite single color hammock body for blending in to your surroundings?
It depends on what sort of environment in which you want to blend. I find that for our southern woodlands, the olive brown color of my WB Cloudburst Tarp is a nice compromise.
I would imagine a grayer color for mountain environments such as the Rockies; White/gray for Snow; Coyote for desert, etc. I wish there were more Camo patterns available such as that used on Natgear products. There are SO many great camo patterns available for hunters/military. I wish they were available in sil-nylon/argon/ etc.
I like the camo for blending in. My favorite has been Flecktarn since my Paintball days...
The blacks are black for shadows, and allow for light patterns.

Grays and brown are good in my neck of the woods for all year use. Olive drab and greenish camo in the summer and white for the winter is better though. The grayish green Warbonnet uses is great in the spring, summer and fall and blends surprisingly well in winter too. If blending was the most important to me I'd get a Multicam under quilt (UQ) for sure and maybe a Multicam hammock too (I'd probably stick with my Warbonnet Blackbird because the UQ covers most of the hammock anyways). Then I'd make and use a white UQ protector to use in the winter.The UQ protector could even be made reversible so you'd have another choice of camo, or even black or blaze orange which could be useful for the reverse color if you wanted black at night or Blaze orange during big game season.

Blaze orange inner, would help you hit the target when returning from watering the bushes at 3:00am, instead of sitting in your underquilt.

the olive brown works for me. multicam is expensive and not that good
I find the Flecktarn Camo in my fabric bin
