    Just so you know, the color (red, green) is the color of the tracer -- not the color of the cord. It still may be useful to have two different identifiable cords. And since you get free shipping by buying 2 600' spools, it may be worth it because it makes the second spool extremely cheap.

    Too late to know, just ordered one each; so the color would be the grey mainly with tracer of red/green ?
    I better start to find buddy to share the deal.

    I just got a cancellation e-mail, apparently they were sold out even though my purchase went through.

    I’m pretty sure it’s full red and green with tracer that contrasts. But at the price, I really don’t mind either way.

    Looks like we are getting conflicting information of the color. I'm guessing it's assumption vs reality (as are so many things). For example, if you select Green on the web page, you'll see a photo of Grey Amsteel with a green tracer. So there's an assumption that you'll get grey Amsteel with a green tracer. But when the spool arrives, it is sort of a solid washed out green (Reality). It is not a deep rich forest green, nor is it the sort of lime green color of the tracer on the web page (depending upon your monitor). It's sort of a bleached out green. But it is a 600 ft spool at about 11 cents a foot.

    Arrived in two days!
    In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.

    Sounds like a good color to blend into the woods instead of standing out which is my general color scheme anyway. I have to wait a little longer on mine since it's shipping to about as far as you can get from Bellingham, Wa.

    Thanks for the color update. Two spools, free shipping, and $10 off got me roughly 8.5 cents per foot. $101 for 1200 ft.
