Yah, it was an oversimplification, done more for illustrative effect than anything else.

Oh yea, I get it.
I was just trying to say I think there's room in the trees for everybody.
Take the Night Grid Camo pattern. Completely useless and ineffective because it can be easily defeated by any modern night vision technology. Besides, who would need this for a hammock body? But.... it's a cool pattern that I find pleasing to the eye on a very nice 1.8oz hi count taffeta nylon. I have not yet received any complaints because users have been detected during the night while using this fabric.

Yah, I've notice the night camo comes in a different fabric that seems softer, and that those who purchase it would generally fall into Category #2, with the possible exception of coyote hunters.
And I agree that its a cool pattern that actually looks interesting and is pleasing to the eye during the day.
I'd rather not have a hammock or tarp that is purposefully made to be difficult to see at night.

actually I've had hunters tell me that the night camo, while useless at night with nvg/nvo/nvds, is pretty useful out in the sage brush areas of Central Oregon and the grassy meadows in the Willamette valley..... YMMV.
Yah, and I've heard that from night coyote and feral hog hunters down here in TX.
I don't feel the need to get everyone's attention. For one thing, it's less likely, though not impossible, anything will get stolen when I'm not around. I also try to be respectful of people who want to get outside and not have the visual impact of bright colors intruding on their outdoor experience.

I like camo because I like to blend in as much as possible when camping which is usually in the woods. That being said hammocks have a real challenge when trying to blend in. They are horizontal elements. In nature things are vertical. Camo can help to " break up" this horizontal elements some. But for the most part most camo looks like a blob of color at most any distance. Camo designs like Predator camo has not found its way here yet. As a hunter, I was taught early on by my grandfather to look for horizontal elements when hunting. Like hammocks most animal's bodies are horizontal in nature. That's why they have spots or different colors in places to break up that horizontal. I also wear camo a lot but it's because I spend most of my time in the woods. I do not wear it out in public even though many consider me a redneck.
i like camo cuz it's camo, and camo is cool.

Hmm... Why Camo? Well.. Why not?
I believe good gets better.
I read an article somewhere that pretty much started that animals will tent to be more curious about bright colors and will disregard earthy tones and camos. That seems like a good enough reason to me.
