    Winter tarp color

    Has anyone every tried a white winter tarp? While I don't feel the need to hide while I'm out camping, I don't like to stick out too much either. When there is snow on the ground what tarp colors have you found not to stand out too bad?

    I have seriously thought about a white sil tarp, once I return to cold. For now my cuben fits the bill well enough...

    My gray "max" has been hard to find on more than one occasion.
    Directionally challenged...comicly so.

    Not all who wonder are lost...But I'm probably just lost.

    I was going to get a light grey Maxi tarp from Lost Biker, but went with Coyote instead. It will blend in all year in most places.

    Seems to me that white blobs blocking the tree trunks are more noticeable than Brown against brown. ;-)

    Some stated they have made white tarps and several asked for white silnylon in this thread.

    Another white tarp thread.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone! That coyote blends in a little better than I thought it would. That makes it more of the 4-season tarp. One of these days might have to try the white, but I will probably save that for a future project.

    A light gray looks best to me because nothing in nature is pure white
