I pick and make the gear based on what looks good to me at the moment. I have gear in almost every color you can think of. I usually look to have at least one bright colored piece of gear in my pack...should I fall down and break my leg I want something to be able to signal with. I don't go out of my way to stand out but I also don't go out of my way to hide. At this years Idaho hang the last night we had a couple guys wander into camp just before dark. We chatted a while as the fish were cooking and we invited them to hang out, share the fire, some fish and some whiskey. They were nice guys and we chatted around the fire for several hours. If we had been "Stealth" then we may not have gotten to meet and hang out with a couple gear junkies. Most folks that are way out in the woods are like minded from what I have found....we enjoy the woods and from time to time its nice to be able to meet folks and chat....kinda like this here forum, there are a lot of folks lurking never saying anything we don't get to benefit from their opinions and thought. But those that do share are the ones willing to come out of the dark and pull up a seat around the communal fire. Come on out of the dark, pour a cup-a, we don't bite.
