    Whoopie colours. (Australian spelling)

    Opie,

    I'm in the market for your highly praised whoopie slings, just curious could the green be considered stealth or would black/grey be better?

    Thanks in advance.

    PS. Opinions are welcome and encouraged from all comers.

    Yes, black is on the left and gray is in the middle.

    Thanks for asking, I forgot to update the website.

    The grey is the picture is off.

    The grey being shown (on my screen) is far different then the grey WS that I have at home.

    My grey is much brighter (closer to a Sharpie marker housing). A few points to keep in mind; nothing is stealthy from 10' (2.5m) away. What you want is steathly through the foiliage, and just about any of those colours will do the trick.

    I like the grey because it is 'bright-enough' that I can see it at night and not walk into it and clothes-line myself.
    I ride a recumbent.
    I like to HAM it up on the CW.
    I use Linux.
    I play go.
    Of course I sleep in a hammock!

    Rug.

    Hang On!

    Yes, the gray is a little lighter, as are the other 2 pictured. The flash washed out the colors in the picture and I was under flourescent light.

    Although I don't have any of Opie's rope work (Oh, wait! I do on my new gravity filter, anyway ...) I chose grey for my DIY hammock's suspension since that is more or less the colour (Canadian - ha!) of the bark around here.
    Of course my original attempt was bright green and bright blue. Now I try to be a little more visually quiet

    I have the gray and just like Shug it blends nicely! I have missed seeing it walking up to the hammock once and almost clotheslined myself but found saw the tarp first!

    Yeah, what he said. Grey is the ultimate neutral color.
