Camping hammock color?

[tazmaniac]

Personally, I love camo or low contrast colors. Multicam is my fav, just want to feel like I am a part of the woods, that I belong, no military fantasy stuff.

Soo, my choices are as follows:


Get eaten by a bear,
Shot by a hunter,
or "rump humped" by a hillbilly ??

Yea, one of those unfortunate things that happen to campers that no one talks about!!! 😭

Well said.

I’m transitioning away from brighter colors to more neutral colors myself. Bears are curious creatures and seem to be drawn to colors that ‘break the panorama,’ to quote the the Chili Peppers. Orange, blue and yellow are colors to avoid, if you can help it, in my opinion.

Here is a related article from Backpacker:

We do a lot of kayak/camping,, sleeping in hammocks exclusively for the last 12 years.
We hit the mountain rivers of VA and WV for 2-3 day river fishing trips, pulling off in National forest area for the night.

I am going to buy a new Blackbird, and really like the international orange color,, but the weird "self preservation" instinct is in the back of my mind saying "Get the camo, the drunkin hillbillies wont be able to see you a mile away"

Thoughts??

I'm all about that bright orange hammock!

If I'm concerned about being seen by animal or man, I can hide it in under my tarp (dark olive) and underquilt (dark grey).

As a general rule, I prefer my gear to be bright, highly contrasting colors. It makes everything much easier to find in my pack and much harder to leave behind at camp. This applies more to small stuff like utensils, socks, or headlamps, but the principal still holds somewhat for larger items like a hammock.

Well when you're a dark lord of the sith, you don't really have much to worry about.

Don't know what sight association animals have with cheeseburgers. But if Dutch ever comes out with cheeseburger scented, or worse, cheeseburger tasting hammocks, then there's going to be trouble!

Thanks for the tip, now I’m never leaving the house!

No camo for me, unless it's on sale, or I win it, like this Chameleon I won at a group hang last year:
