[at-l] Tent COlor was : Part 7 - Tent Selection

[rickboudrie@hotmail.com (rick boudrie)]

I think they are now making the Clip Flashlight in a nice light greenish 
color rather than the blue.  I think.

Personally, I would cross all brightly colored tents off my list of 
potential purchases.  In part because I don't want to impact on others' 
sence of wildness by presenting myself as a beacon across a pond we might be 
sharing, but more because I can be a bit paranoid from time time, and often 
prefer that others can't find me.  Even if it is just the AMC. (Don't read 
too much into that ;-) )

I understand that many hikers don't give a second thought to tent color, nor 
care. I'm not saying its a sin. There is a case to be made that a bright 
yellow tent is more cheery if you are stuck in it on a rainy day, I suppose. 
  I prefer to blend in and become one with the forest.  Yea, that's it, one 
with the forest.
