So I am making my first solo trip in October in the Stanislaus National Forrest, which just happens to apparently be hunting season.I was warned by a friend of mine that hunts that it might be a good idea to plan to be as visible as possible. I was curious if folks here had some additional safety tips, I'll post the things that have already popped into my head (hoping to avoid a 308 to it)
01) Orange vest and I have an orange pack cover that should fit my ULA. My Nube' is also orange.
02) Sticking to the trails except when I don't (Won't be camping on the trial obviously)
And really that's all I can think of. None of my equipment is camo, I have bright yellow and orange whoopie slings, mostly so *I* can avoid running into them. Honestly, it's a giant eye sore, but it should be safe(?)
On a side note: I've wanted to keep my stuff less of an eye sore, not that i'm going to be camping where people should be able to see me, but I've always wanted to avoid bright colors. But now it just seems like if I'm only going to own one or two hammocks (Until my G.A.S. Guitar acquisition syndrome turns into H.A.S Hammock acquisition syndrome) they should probably be visible so when I am out there in hunting season, i don't find myself on the hood of someones car or mounted like a trophy somewhere when looking at the Chameleon I was thinking grey or something darker, and then getting a darker tarp, but i'm not sure those color options are wise.
Thoughts?
