So many survivalists or preppers choose camouflage or earth colours for their outdoor clothing yet serious hikers and climbers tend to choose dayglow orange or hi-vis that stands out like a sore thumb to make them easier to find in case of an accident. Is it just a foolish affectation on the part of preppers and survivalists to try and blend in? After all, if there is no need to hide why bother and if you had an accident while out in the countryside it could delay rescue/help finding you.
I can understand toning down your clothing if you are stealth camping or poaching but is camouflage really necessary as an every day item of clothing… I’m not saying that we should all wear tweed or corduroy, just that in its own special way camouflage can also draw attention.
