    Evergreen or Bushwack camo ?

    I'm not usually a fan of camo, in my opinion it usually resembles the rambos out there. I'm one who much prefers to blend in without standing out of the crowed, hence I don't wear camo.

    After seeing the bushwack camo though, my god doesn't it look good!

    So, I'm looking to purchase a new tarp but unsure what colour to go for out the two ? I have the xlc in green

    Sounds like you should flip a pence to make that decision.

    The Bushwack camo does not stand out as a military camo to me, and it seems more like it is made to blend in with a natural environment, which is why I just bought an Edge tarp in Bushwack. IMHO, I think you will be the most satisfied with your choice if you blend in, so where do you use your hammock the most? What do others use where you hammock? If you use it at parks or with crowds of people, you may want to get a single color or even a bright color. If you use it at campsites or while hiking, I would use Bushwack to disturb the scenic environment as little as possible. Also, if you intend to wander off trail once in a while and do some stealth camping, or course Bushwack would be my first choice. Of course multiple tarps in different colors may be your solution, though expensive.

    Flip a coin like Shug said. If you're disappointed with the winner, get the other one.

    Blending in is exactly what camo was designed to do so go for the camo.

    I've never been a big camo guy either (unless I'm turkey hunting- they have 270 degrees of magical voodoo vision). But lately I've gotten into small touches of it for backpacking as it has started showing up on lighter weight materials. Granted this most recent addition is hardly a small touch. When I ordered my cloudburst in bushwack I immediately regretted it. But when it arrived and I set it up, I was more impressed and glad I did.

    I was able to get it during the sale, so the extra price for it was basically removed. I've a video of it that gives a closer look at the pattern if you're interested.

    Either way, enjoy! Warbonnet is awesome.

    Looking at that picture, the camouflage obviously isn't made for central Indiana springtime jungle. Lol

    Camo does not work so well when you are standing next to it. If you walked 50 feet away and some foliage was blocking the view of your camo tarp, I think it would blend in much better than a solid color or big solid color rectangle in the woods.
