Standing outside of obvious situations such as hiking during hunting season or SHTF stuff what is your preference for outdoor gear? Do you prefer the safety of beening seen... or NOT being seen?
I'm not necessarily talking about mall ninja or surplus full cammies, although that may suit some but generally muted colors that blend in for the hivis colors like lime green and blaze orage designed for visibility?
Myself, I prefer the muted earth tones. Its easy enough to have an article or two of hiviz to don when needed. Other than that I like to go unnoticed. Of course, this is now complicated with a family. I definitely like my kid to be wearing bright colors so he is easier to locate. The wife likes to walk the middle road; a lot of blacks and such but plenty of... hot pink... also.
What about gear like tents? That one, I'm just not sure of. I suppose for 99% of recreational activities, visibility is better... but I just can't help liking a low profile.
