wearing camo while in the woods?

Does anyone wear camo clothes when they are in the woods?

I cannot say that I do. Even worse is wearing camo in the wood during hunting season. I usually have a white shirt and light colored pants. I find it easy to pick off ticks this way.

I wear camo when I'm hunting turkeys, waterfowl and when I'm bow hunting deer. Other than that I don't usually wear it.

I'm a hiker not a hunter and I don't want to be mistaken for anyone's game, especially during hunting season. I usually wear jeans and I light colored shirt.

Exactly! I have a sleeping pad that is hanging outside the backpack and is bright yellow color. This definitely warns the hunters miles away and prevents disasters.

I hate wearing camo because it looks awful plus it always reminds me on those military nuts that can't sleep without a camo onesie let alone going to the woods without all sorts of camo colored equipment.

But, I don't mind having a camo tarp for a shelter. Sometimes is nice not to draw too much attention.

I have to agree with the sentiments here. It makes no sense to hide in the woods unless you have a reason-I want to be as visible as possible. What if I had an accident and was unconscious? I want someone to be able to see (and save) me easily!

There's a bigger chance that you'd be hit by a hunter who thinks you're a game if you're wearing camo. Light colored clothes are the best as mentioned here.

I've worn a camo shirt or two in the past but I never dress in full camo get up. Although some of the lightweight camo shirts are very cool and comfortable. I need to find some out of the same material but in a different color!

I found that you harder loose stuff if they are in some bright colors. For example, I lost at least five whistles that were green. Bright orange or yellow are much better for such small pieces of equipment.
